Also having a job and having seniority are two separate issues. We need a union if we want to have any real security on either matter.

Ah, the magic tax! Fixes all that ills, and saves everyone money!
I will spare everyone from my reply, as I stand by my previous statements.

Going forward with the pilot market tightening greatly, possible shortage, and the retirements coming, 2500 young and trained pilots, who are thus far anti-union, fly lots of block hours and have shown themselves willing to work for 25% less pay and benefits will be a CLEAR ASSET to an aquiring airline management.

Are you trying to build an Airline, or fly for one?

While I'll give you that patience is a virtue...
jetBlue is a Billion dollar a year company! They have been touting "industry average" for 5+ years. I don't care how old the company is at this point. The "nimble" DR is a slug with no direction other than misdirection in order to pay your less.
The "we're a new company", "give us some time", line was worn out a few years ago.

$1.3 billion in revenue in the first quarter. Pilot CASM advantage approaching 30%. Yep, I'm impatient. Pay like a major or face the consequences.....high attrition, cancelled flights, training issues due to lack of experienced new hires, etc.
