Enjoy your time off, everyone needs their time away.

Would be nice to have a list of guys who are picking up RSA so we know who among us are actively working against securing a CBA.

Is there a place we can find out? We could do this outside of ALPA, and post it here.

I'm sure posting names here violates some rule somewhere. But if you're curious which of our "brothers" are selling us out, CrewTrac reserve availability shows the RSA codes. Just need to log in through BlueConnect if you're off the company network.

The issue is We have ALPA officers/reps picking up RSAs, I saw our Membership chair do RSA in MCO not long ago.

I'm telling you guys, there is no unity with this group and if anyone thinks we will see any type of TA this year you are out of your mind! I'm focusing my efforts on getting out of this place....

When I look at DRO list for tomorrow there is a captain available for one day yet he is not marked as his last day. Could that be a guy who volunteered for an RSA? JFK 320 Captain. We have several trips in open time for tonight and no reserves available so it looks like at least on Captains side people have stopped picking trips up. For me, until we get a contract I will not pick up an RSA or VDA.

How do guys feel about picking up open time? Ultimately its a similar effect as with RSA and VDA. I generally don't pick up trips but certainly know a lot of guys who do.

Like I said, guys on furlough = NO, below min days off = NO, contract negotiations = NO. If your commute went to sh*t and you're stuck, pick up a turn. If you're gonna go illegal because the airline can't operate unless its VFR, pick up a turn. Actually flying, but this whole RSA + VDA thing is a sham. Its funny guys + gals forget when we had time and a half above 70hrs. Now we get emails, just now, asking us to please pick up open time. You noticed how all the island turns that switched to DHs were done right @7am, right before the swap clause closes?

Jetblue's business model is based upon the the pilots & Fa's going above and beyond, doing extra. Once that ceases will be treated & compensated as professionals.

Remember, JetBlue is NOT an airline but rather a Brand

This is what so many guys just can't get through their thick skulls. They're actively working against a CBA for our group. Be sure to thank the next non-member you fly with his efforts to subvert our pilot group.
