Doesn't have a public position on the merits of the application, but was against the DOT waiting 3yrs for a final yes or no decision to be made.

Sitting on the sidelines and not saying a thing is generally accepted as approval.

Saying the "rhetoric" used by the legacies fighting it is "misguided and uninformed" is also not a neutral view. I don't think he is on the sidelines.

Umm he's a business guy. It's a genius business model. What is he going to say? Oh poor labor unions? You guys act like CEO's actually care about the hired help. They would replace you for somebody making $10 an hour tomorrow if they could.

That said, they have their outsourced c scale labor already, which is drying up, while their new competition is just getting started down the cheap labor expressway.

Robin is simply in touch with the fact that we are overpaid trained monkeys, and welcomes an international carrier into the US that operates under that premise. Now there is precedent to keep our wages down when we go transatlantic.

Is there a chance we are headed for some conflict of interest at ALPA national if in fact JetBlue gets branded as a cheerleader for the NAI model? Will national start dictating to our MEC what we are or are not allowed to fly? Will legacy pilots eventually have us on some blacklist and see us as some form of scab even though we had not crossed any picket line?
