Management under the last CEO worked with the pilots, but this guy (Dave Barger) has shown himself to be two-faced in his dealings with them. The vote was in favor by an overwhelming margin, which speaks to their frustration. I believe ALPA will serve them well.

And to people who are saying that this is the death of JetBlue... You know what another heavily unionized airline is? Southwest Airlines. Hasn't stopped them from being the industry leader.

Amazing what treating your employees right can do.
