lol. No wonder blue pilots sucks. Get your butts on the alpa board and post with your names.

$5 says anyone who advocates a staple didn't vote for ALPA the first or 2nd time.

Did you, grim04 or fudoplhin? Hope I fly with you so I can set you straight on mergers. Dimwits.

Career expectations lol. I got hired here to go to a real airline.

Before I answer, which airline are you at? Your "here" is vague, a pronoun with no proper noun confuses me.

A merger and a take over are not really the same though. In any case were putting the cart way before the horse. We don't even know the details on the sell off. JetBlue and Alaska could easily just pick apart parts of the company they want and walk away. Not what anyone at VX would want to hear nor would I want anyone on the street but it is a possibility.

+1. This thread is really stupid. Cool it down guys. Both sides will be able to put in their inputs at the right time--also--management still has aces up their sleeves for both sides. Until then, we don't need to hash this out here.

I've flown with a few "seasoned" spirit pilots that have told be that Jetblue pilots are even more arrogant than delta pilots and are always looking down at spirit like they are somehow better pilots.

I always responded that I had plenty of friends at Jetblue all of which are great guys and I've never had a problem jumpseating or any real reason to classify the Jetblue pilots as dicks. After this thread I can see how this opinion could be easily formed. It's unbelievable some of the opinions here.

I can't imagine how anyone could argue anything other than relative seniority. Jetblue guys shouldn't flatter themselves.
Everything at VA is leased, VA doesn't own anything. JB owns more than half their fleet, market cap isn't even close and profit...well...mic drop!
