Here we go...
Excellent point.
This is the current bottom line. Save your DoH/staple arguments until you know what the situation is.
When "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, we'll all have a Merry Christmas.
Nice political jab. The fact of the matter is there is VERY LITTLE overlap in the B6/VX systems. There is no reason to think that merger wouldn't be approved.
LOL!
The last thing anyone wants is a sloppy sli with disgruntled pilots on either side, and no one should be hoping for a staple job or anyone on the street. A combined company will make us stronger moving forward and hopefully give us all greater job security..........if any if this even comes to fruition.
LOL!

B6's global strategy is codeshares just like every other U.S. airline these days. I don't think you will ever see any of the LCC carriers in the U.S. add a global fleet.

So your saying an arbitrator is going to put your number 1 guy right next to our number 1 guy even though VA wasn't even an idea when our number 1 guy was hired. Ok who's drinking the juice now? You are going to have 3500 ****ed off jetblue guys as opposed to 700 VA guys? Yeah that's going to happen. Like I said before let VA die on there own. Maybe y'all will get preferential interviews. Oh and I believe if we did make a play for VA it will be our ventures side business and not the airline itself. Just think of GUADELOUPE HOLDINGS and airtran...hint titty hint hint

You already used sport. You're supposed come back with Chief or buddy or something. But you'd have to use your head and you clearly don't do that before you post. Your proposal is insane and it would never happen. You'd basically be downgrading all of their captains. This will automatically go to mediation and then arbitration if it has to. Even the most Jetblue friendly arbitrator would not use your plan.
From the McCaskill-Bond statute:
"If the covered transaction involves employee groups represented by the same union, the statute provides that the union's internal merger policies apply exclusively"
ALPA has a SLI merger policy.

we are talking about a buyout...not a merger... and yes that matters.

1 it doesn't cover a buyout only a merger and in order to be considered a merger we'd have to integrate a MAJORITY of there airplanes routes gates people etc etc etc.
2. Basically it also states that the two parties work it out on there own.
Now back to your statement about captains being downgraded.....
1. There senior captains would still hold captain.
2. Put a 5 year base and seat fence up and that would keep everyone where they are
3. What's going to happen to the 190 guys? You want to downgrade our guys so that the integration works?
This will be similar to southwest airtran not USAIR America west.
