"I" As well,

For Lake we are going to have to agree to disagree. Best of luck to the new folks who are considering JetBlue...we are not perfect but we are still a great profitable company that has a great future.

Lake thanks for the healthy debate, keep it civil and continue to respect other's opinions.

What about an address change? Wouldn't want that FedEx letter to miss me.


Does anyone know if there are any plans to let those of us in Phase II aka Limbo know we're through Phase II at least? I can weather the storm of no class dates until doomsday if I know for sure I'm in a pool.

Incorrect.

HawaiianMiles: Use on Partner Airlines - Hawaiian Airlines

where did you even get that? These routes were ex-nwa and original DAL established way before Alaska ever flew to Hawaii.

Oh yeah, all the pension losses are ALPA's fault...why didn't I see that. I'm SO stupid! Thanks for clearing that cmeSORE!

Lake Alice you should start your own unionized airline. Clearly you know everything there
is about running an airline. Guess you missed your true calling.

Don't forget TWA. Didn't ALPA have to pay massive court ordered settlements to United pilots misrepresentation recently? Yeah, I'd rather pay into an organization who does not make a habit of paying out settlements while campaigning for new business.

If some of you think this is beating a dead horse wait until you see blue pilots. An entire forum dedicated to Alpa and all that is wrong with JB.

Dude, are you just making this up as you go along?

EVERY ALPA carrier is expanding???? REALLY? How about almost no ALPA carriers are growing. Delta and United (add US Airways and SW for ****s and giggles) are shrinking (2011) and forecasting negitive or flat ASM's for 2012. Mean while JB will be adding 11 aircraft and around 7% ASM's in 2012 after about the same growth on 2011.

Ordering Aircraft???? What ALPA carrier is adding more aircraft by % next year then JB? 2013? 2014?

What ALPA carriers have signed new contracts in the last few years? AirTran? What was it, 11 years between contracts for them? About the time JB has been in business? Who else? Remember, you said EVERY ALPA carrier.

You got one right, yes every ALPA carrier is making money, as is every non ALPA carrier outside of VA. Congrats.

Airlines are adding new routes, retiring old aircraft, taking deliveries of new. It's not a competition as to whom is growing more. Delta, FedEx, Alaska all signed contracts in the past few years. Your argument is simple. ALPA is bad. All I'm saying is ALPA carriers are doing well with better pay and benefits than JetBlue which is making money, expanding and taking deliveries. I always enjoyed the continued excuse that our lack of pay and benefits is somehow tied to our 12 year history. It's a tired and pedestrian argument. Much like managements rhetoric. The fact is the retirement and health insurance cannot change absent a CBA.

I can add and subtract. I can read a 10K report. I can read and understand the 5 documents and what they truly mean. Do you? Clearly not.. But we can agree to disagree.
