f9 is not. There’s zero restrictions on our trade board. None. Not sure about b6? That’s trade board I think you might be talking opentime? Never heard of a trade board restriction.

Thing is these days why would anyone pick up a trip from you on the trade board and get straight pay when they can get 200% by keeping the days open. The trade board doesn’t seem like a great only option.

That’s kind of dumb if that’s the case because why should the company care if someone else is willing to cover your trip if thier legal?

Bad choice of wording. It’s not a trade board like trade with pilots, it’s essentially a drop board. We can drop any trip that is green. Nothing to do with pilot trading trips with each other. It’s a drop board. So for CAs currently, the board is almost entire green if not entirely green, so a CA can drop all of their trips to 0 credit and have zero obligation to pick anything back up

If you’re assuming your seniority would be hurt in a JetBlue integration you are purely speculating and have no idea how it would work out. That’s for the arbitrator to decide after we state our case. Also how about making legacy pay as an FO (also complete speculation) so commuting to upgrade doesn’t become as important.

If every JB guy can understand this and communicate with their NC to try to work with Spirit NC to agree on implementing this in a JCBA then im all onboard. If this is all about money, then you all should apply to UAL or Delta. 100% of the people I know that have applied there over the last year have been called within 3-4 months and are hired! I believe if JB pilots will work with us and spread the word to their fellow pilots that we have a great system here and to adopt it while still getting a pay increase, it can work.


Otherwise, JB combined with Spirit will just be another airline, no QOL, no ability to drop, etc. Might as well just leave and work at the big 3 and get paid for it.
