Sorry, his comments don't even begin to reach the low level you 5-6 guys have achieved.

Wow, the PVC asked for a whole 2% adjustment for the pay review to bring us to industry standard. A whole 2%.

That 2% should cover the ALPA dues that this healthcare and pathetic pay raise should make almost a certainty this time around . . .

Trying to have a logical conversation wasn't working. Thought I'd try a different tactic....

what is considered low level? Bringing up facts about low pay and benefits? I thought factual conversations were just that, facts.

The facts are appreciated. It is the opinion comments that are getting to be a broken record. By now we all know the infamous eights opinion towards JB. Lets hear new, relevent facts about current issues at JB. Not the same rehtoric we have been hearing for so long on here. Facts on Issues like news on OC progress. It would be great to log on and hear something new and relevant not calling each other names after all isn't that what management wants (us divided).

You are overestimating this pilot group.

If you were about to buy a car with 3 wheels and I called you an idiot you'd look at the car, count the wheels, realize your mistake and by a car with 4 wheels. Would you be a little upset that I called you an idiot? Maybe, but you'd still make the right decision.

JetBlue pilots, on the other hand, will buy the 3 wheel car because they don't like the method of how they were informed they were about to buy a 3 wheel car.

This is the fundamental difference between this pilot group and other professional pilot groups.

No one wants to hear they are making a mistake or that they are being stolen from. Other pilot groups realize the implications and act accordingly.

When the PVC interviewed 4 legal firms to get an opinion on our PEA's JetBlue claimed that information as NDA so that you weren't able to hear the truth. You aren't protected and your company knows it but you will buy the 3 wheel car because someone questioned your decision.
Indefensible logic.

Strictly the MEC's fault. Strictly the facts.
