Guys....hyperboy wears a lanyard. Southerner doesn’t. Hyperboy supports and volunteers for the union. Southerner doesn’t. Both have (or had in southerners case) company jobs. Both are super pro company, but HB is also pro union. Southerner works against us all the time. Hyperboy just wants to help this place out and tries to serve two masters. Southerner just likes cleaning airplanes and getting paid less than his peers. Hyperboy usually rows in the pilots’ direction (actually he is literally super hyper and rows in a lot of directions at once), and I’d rather have him in a quasi-management position than a southerner. He’s not the enemy.
Southerner is not so much an enemy, but a collaborator- he does pay dues, but seems to hate the union concept. I think he is a product of working in close proximity with management during his time in OSC.
Because he is happy, he believes that those of us who are critical of B6, are blindly miserable. This, of course, is not true.
If I misdiagnosed your position Southerner, please correct me.
I think Ive been fair.

This is an accurate perspective. HB is a true optimist but cares greatly for his fellow pilots.

I don't hate the union concept. I think it's a necessary thing in our industry. I dislike the negativity and the taking of things so personally. But, at the end of the day I understand it, even if I disagree.

Some reactions might be E/I, but the major complaint is about company dishonesty and greed. Retort?

This company is also delaying a contract intentionally that would increase my time off-duty with my family via a calendar day rig. That's personal.
The terrible QOL of life for our reserves is also quite personal! It has kept me from exercising my seniority to upgrade to captain. That's personal.
You can passively sit on your thumb with a nooky In your mouth all you want, I will not. I know you don't actually believe that 3500 quiet and passive pilots will ever achieve a market rate contract, so I have to wonder what your agenda really is....

This company is delaying a contract intentionally that would compensate me and my family with an additional roughly $3-4,000 per month in pay, benefits and retirement contribution. That's personal.

When a company lies to its employees about the coverage of their Health and Welfare Plans and employee don't take it personal then they are themselves cult members.

It's personal for a lot of jetblue pilots because jetblue managers and the executive team has made personal examples of many of our pilots including firings, falsifying employment files, and refusing to follow established law until forced to under court order. This is the truly the most dishonest, deceitful, and disgusting group of people I've ever worked for.
