What do NEOs on order at Jetblue have to do with their total fleet size? If you have information that contradicts 254 total airframes at Jetblue presently, please, let us know.

I don’t know if Spirit will end up outsizing Jetblue as you put it. If you finish with over 350 aircrafts, you will.
I wasn’t refuting your 254 claim. It’s a little outdated, but in the ballpark.

Bluejet has a net gain of 93 frames between now and 2025. That should put the count just below 350 by then. 70 220’s replacing 60 190’s leaves 10 extra to most likely replace a few of the older airbii. There is no plan from the company to replace any airbus aircraft before 2025. Fwiw

Ahhh, no. MEC didn't have to release it to the members, and because it was so bad, a lot (i won't say most, because no formal vote was taken) agreed it didn't deserve a vote. The second offer was way worse, and included the threat of you don't take it you are out of a job. It wasn't offered by SWAPA, but came directly fro SWA management (side-note, yes, a union is supposed to protect it's own members over other groups, but a union that lets management do it's work for it..... against fellow pilots). It wasn't me, but it was in my house. SWA is a GREAT company to work for if they hired you, but as a 6 year NK guy I would rather merge with Mesa than SWA.
As a 6 year NK guy, would you rather merge with Mesa because you would be the Big Guy in the merger, or is it something else? How did that end up with FAPA and Republic?

So, we agree that the MEC didn’t release the first offer for a membership vote, the offer that protected captain seats. I posted that to refute the previous poster claiming the SW pilot CBA stipulates taking all the left seats.
