So if it turns into a three way, should jetblue pilots expect relative seniority with Alaska?
We are bigger, and have more growth. The twenty years at the airline their number one has over our number one shouldn't matter at all right?
ALPA merger policy is a recommendation that should be followed, it does not dictate an end result.

Well... no. The Mckaskill-Bond Act says that if the company's unions have a method of integrating the lists (ALPA merger) than it will be followed, unless there is something specific in your current contract that dictates how it will be done, without company interference. ALPA merger basically says if your merger reps can't negotiate an agreement, binding arbitration will decide. That isn't a recommendation.

No... how he sees fit. Not by a bunch of pilots emotional bi***ing. Want to annoy an arbitrator? Send someone like you in to pitch your case on how it should go.

An any and all transactions or only a Transactional that is a "covered transaction" i.e one that initially contemplates a merger of operations.
IOW if the deal is like Guadalupe then McCaskill Bond never kicks.

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 think my fellow jetBlue pilots are responding out of fear. The only thing that makes our lower pay scales "palatable" is the short upgrades here. This will impact the organic growth and thus pay. However, put yourself in the shoes of our VX brethren who may cut in line, but may also be jobless as a result of this. Also keep in mind that big picture this could lead to widebodies that much sooner as our domestic map will get much more healthy. It may also make us less palatable to SWA (20 year upgrades anyone?)
