A lot of if's but there is a timeline in which jetblue succeeds.

It will need to be more than a decent contract. It will have to be industry leading.

I know right. This pilot group will jump at the first sh!tty deal B6ALPA runs in front of them. Maybe spirit pilots will bring some ballz to the table…if we acquire them.

Well, we voted 100% to strike back in 2017 if that gives you some basis for comparison. Take that Alaska!

This is true, but turnout was abysmal but when it came to participating in picketing. We did manage about 120 pilots on one day in FLL and around 105 on day two in FLL.

Picketing was indeed abysmal. And our participation was only 97% in that vote, sooooo...

I believe JetBlue had 700 on the coldest day of the year in NYC.
