I don't have numbers in front of me but it clearly hasn't stopped people from leaving. However it may helped initially bring in some.

How do you know we will have "amazing leverage" 1-2yrs from now?? This industry can change with a snap of a finger. None of us have any clue where this economy or world will even be like in 1-2yrs. We need to take the best we can get now. Im not voting yes for mediocre stuff with the intention that we will get a great JCBA. We are all one event away from the music stopping and the games they are playing in Ukraine right now isn't giving me a tingly feeling. Or once this economy stops the hiring will come to a stop and that so called "leverage" goes out the window. I think we all need to fight for the best NOW, not a band-aid in hopes of something great that may never happen 1-2yrs from now. Ive been in this industry long enough, even 6 months is an eternity.

The leverage we will have creating a JCBA is independent of airline profitability, price of gas, pandemics, and war. It will truly be a once-in-a-career chance for most of us. JetBlue must run two separate flight operations until we have a JCBA. Regardless of outside factors, this will always cost them more money than running one operation.

It is also true that a big raise now is better than waiting for the JCBA.

The number of items on the joint term sheet continues to be reduced. While real progress has been made, a large economic gap between the parties remains.

Translation: Not even close on the economic proposal.

I’m hoping it’s a negotiating tactic but sounds like the company came in with a lowball counter.

Question for anyone who knows, how is the economic proposal negotiated?

By hourly rate based on seat, years of service, etc….

or is it more along the lines of negotiating a certain number of XYZ million annually that the union can divide amongst the pilot group as they see fit?

Meanwhile, at SWA:

My pay expectations:

Current converted to hours:

12 yrs CA: $274.03
12 yrs FO: $191.81 (70% of CA)
05 yrs FO: $164.55 (86% of max FO)
01 yrs FO: $84.52 (44% of max FO)

In the year 2000, before all the CONCESSIONARY CONTRACTS, the going rate for a 737 classic Captain at max pay was around $226 per hour. Adjusted for inflation (Source BLS: CPI Index) is $399.

New Rates:

12 yrs CA: $399
12 yrs FO: $279.30
05 yrs FO: $240.20
01 yrs FO: $122.90

Now keep in mind, these rates are only reclaiming the concessions we gave up. This does NOT include a single pay raise or account for the fact that we are flying planes with 30-50 more seats. If we vote yes on anything less than this, we are still taking a massive paycut. Demand what you are worth!

And keep in mind that a 12 year FO at SWA easily makes more than a 12 year captain at NK, working an equal amount of days a month…….

I think a proposal can be thrown out by either union or management in any terms they want to throw it out, and generally everyone is sort of bound by non disclosure agreements until the MEC agrees to send a TA to the pilots.

So far this month we've began to shrink. We started north of 3235 pilots and as of right now we are at 3200. Fun times. Let the plane deliveries continue.
