Lets just give up our two largest, most popular hubs... that can't be replaced, ever!

I'm surprised that nobody is talking about a scenario where JBLU is sold---just not with ONE airline taking ALL the pieces and after the dust settles the extra planes going back to the global leasing market.

Suddenly the DOT/DOJ is satisfied and it's a win-win scenario for everybody involved, except perhaps for the excess JBLU employees.

These JB pilots don’t have any cred on our threads...I’d apologize, but once they respond to this, you’ll see it would be a moot point!

We take the planes and gates, but divest ourselves of any JB employees. Then we aren’t really acquiring the operating airline, just the equipment.

Comments like this didn't sit well with me 15 years ago and they still resonate the same today.

Floyd, Welcome to the new and improved (....cough) APC. This place has become PPRune with epaulets and a thin contract and semi-decent pay.

Mako,

Screwing a fellow pilot(Alpa et al) is one step above screwing our own. I think the scabs we flew with would say "I saw a great opportunity so I HAD to do it."

Sad

+1. Almost verbatim to what you would hear from a scab.

Sort of like the same comments made by the 1986 United MEC regarding Frontier????
