This is likely accurate, since we have no CBA in place now. The union cannot compel dues until there’s a CBA in place doing so. They will definitely owe agency fees after the CBA is ratified. They would be silly to not join, as they are costing themselves the right to vote and participate with their bargaining agent.

However they will not be able to vote on the TA. If they want to do that they will have to be a member in good standing. The only way to do that is to pay dues from the date of certification.

Stop being such a drama queer.
Of course Mint has been a success. United did the same thing.
It was Marty's baby at UAL. We are copying a branded product within a brand. UAL had PS and we have Mint.
However the success is limited to certain markets and we are running out of new markets and the markets that we will enter into in the near future we have been told to not expect the same Mint Effect on revenue.
After these markets then what? The Mint bubble has almost run it course (running out of steam) and Wall St has taken note and our stock is floundering.
What is the plan with our high margins low cost structure that was supposed to be a disrupter in the industry.
One poster said to over fly our own routes with more frequency. AKA, kill our our RASM?
We are floundering (original point) but hey we have high margins bought to Wall St via very low costs.
Lets throw a party for ourselves.

Again as I said this was all expected.
I don’t know how you use limited markets which they said it was built for against them.
As for the drama queer.....how about you grow up Burt.

I appreciate the previous two posters' non-flame answers to my non-flame question. Labor disputes suck. Not something I want to be part of, and a reason I declined to interview with a couple of other airlines. In the past, JB has seemed to me like a pretty good place from the outside, so giving this one a little more consideration.
Look I separate JetBlue from my profession. To me while I’m uniform I represent all “pilots”. Like it or not we are still looked upon very favorably by the public.
Back when I was doing Pro Standards they did a little quiz with us. They asked 100 people how they would describe pilots. They asked us what we thought they said. We came up with mostly negative stuff. Greedy, arrogant and so on.
The public’s answers were all positive.
Smart, trustworthy and so on.
It was amazing to see how we view ourselves vs the public.
I know guys hate the questions in the airport or the conversations at a party about what route you fly but it’s because we still hold the public’s trust and interest.
I don’t help the lady with a baby or take the UM up to the gate because of JetBlue I do it because I can help vs just standing there. Now yes you can go to far but just be a person and think if you were on the other side what you you think.
