As a reserve new JB pilot, it just saved my job until next spring. My family still has health insurance and I can help in providing food and living expenses over the holidays. Also my credit pay per days worked just increased...do you really think APA was going to do better?

B. It’s not actually a concession-2 days off equals 8.24 credit
C. It did in fact save us until next May
D. It’s temporary. Either snap backs will tigger or it expires next May
*if we end up furloughed next May, we’re all in a world of sh!t
I think you’d be better served to focus on AA’s deficiencies Al.

Just some cocktail math.
Jb is burning 10m/day 300m/month
Money saved by cutting 5 hours a month 4.49m/month
Concessions saved 1/2 day cash burn or 1% monthly burn
Anyway, hope this codeshare helps us both. We need it.

Most of us here are more concerned with partnering with Doug’s albatross

I get it that it might be viewed as a concession, but as others have said, it’s a temporary deal (7 months), those 2 extra days off are worth more than the 5 hours and it will affect only pilots on reserve, which is about 20% of the pilot group here. It’s just leveling the field so everyone, lineholders and reserves, get paid the same 70 hours.
There is less flying for everyone right now and this codeshare will hopefully bring more flying for both of us.

Nobody over here scratched your anchor Al. What concessions? If you’re referring to the reserve guarantee, technically that’s not even a concession-2 more days off is more credit than 5 hours. During these unprecedented times, if that’s the worst thing we “gave” up, then I’m extremely happy. Our union killed it. They were the first ones in the industry to be proactive and do their damn jobs...you know, protect their pilots. As far as the codeshare, I hope it helps both of us, but it also make me nervous since AA has like 12 regional airlines do their flying as well. AA has been mismanaged for years-I think you’d be better served to direct your anger/frustration in that direction.
Also, why is it AA mismanagement that we are codesharing with jetblue, But not Jetblue mismanagement for having to codeshare with AA? We know you like your team better than our team, and we like our team better than yours. No one will be convinced otherwise with hyperbole. These are the kind of things that arent helpful.

Easy, you’re posting in the Jetblue board.
