JetBlue has its issues, but the growth we have is ours. A great CBA with a solid scope section will only improve our situation.

I see you understand sarcasm expertly.
DAL=real airline
B6 = awesome regional
701 = juicer
Any questions?

Come on man. What’s with all the name calling?

JetBlue is a real airline. It may not be a legacy, but it isn’t a regional. I came here knowing that it wasn’t Delta (and specifically because it isn’t Delta). Didn’t you know that as well?

5 years ago, before the legacies all got new contracts, we weren’t really behind. Now we are, and guess what, we are fixing that with a CBA in the near future.

I know- just pokin some fun at guys who incessantly praise and defend B6.
Those of us who constantly berate B6 deserve the same ribbing😉👊🏿

Until we have a CBA on par with SWA, DAL, and so on we are on par with a regional. We don't have a TA let alone a CBA so let's not pretend that we aren't a bottom feeder.

Until our ELT starts running an airline instead of a "brand" we won't be a real airline.

One thing to remember about this industry is that it never changes. Ever since Orville and Wilbur started Delta Air Lines with an amazing pilot contract, the legacies have been the ideal destination for pilots. No one ever left a legacy in search of greener pastures. The only people who went to obviously doomed airlines like PanAm and Eastern in the '80s were pilots who weren't good enough to get hired at the primo airlines of the day like FedEx and Southwest. The reason all legacy pilots are so cheerful and have so much respect for their leaders is that they have meat eating, whiskey drinking pilots running route planning and aircraft acquisition, not millennial beta-males sitting around drinking La Croix Papplemousse sharing craft beard oil. Did you hear they're getting rid of the uniform pants and making pilots wear skinny jeans? How will anyone respect my authoritah if I look like a non-revving FA? Just another example of the many negative changes that are always happening in this volatile industry.

We were behind 5 years ago. And we’re way behind now. Why do you think we voted in ALPA in the first place.

If we hadn’t been behind. There would have been no reason for the union.

"Jetblue brand craft beard oil!"

If we only sold it to our own employees we would double our profits!

My sarcasm detection capabilities weren't functioning at 100% at the end of a long day, my apologies for missing that.

Now that I'm more rested, I have to admit it, you outed me, Bozo. You saw through the years of my posts critical of the company and with one post that didn't even mention jetblue your David Caruso caliber, NCIS worthy cyber detective skills uncovered my true, juicy self. I tip my blue gloves to you as I dive headfirst into the seat back pocket of seat 1A

Bozo the pilot

Fyi, All of my posts are sarcastic.
But I do wonder why some guys on this forum bend over backwards to either defend the company outright, or mansplain the B6BS.
Are you all that afraid of rocking the boat?
This forum means nothing and you act as if we are moving the needle with our useless posts. News flash--this is entertainment with only a splash of info. Have fun with it.
