Everyone seems to be excited about this. For guys that didn’t think we had good QOL in our current contract I think they are going to be surprised is my guess. I change my trips 3 to 5 times a month. From what I’ve heard so far dropping isn’t so easy. Certain triggers block a lot. And is it true can’t drop below 70 hours.

I wouldn’t get too spun up about JB contract rules. We need a JCBA for this to go through. Just as JetBlue CEO said they’ll take the best practices of Spirit and incorporate them into our culture, my respond is the pilots should negotiate the same way for our new CBA.

I personally love the JetBlue product, but based on a lot of the crap that has been posted, I’m not sure I want to tie the knot. But, it’s not up to me. If we do, I hope we have happy times flying together bashing our management while later enjoying beers at the overnight.

Our pilot group is very good we just have a disagreement about a contract issue that was just voted on a day ago. Obviously we move on but many people had strong opinions. You can disagree with a vote and still support the voter which is what we will do.
If there has to be a merger I would be happy for it to be your pilot group. It’s a solid group that does not have an issue standing up to management. With our fleets and size I assume it would be a very fair integration and we wouldn’t we dealing with the usair/America west crap.
It could be good for both of our airlines.
