The JetBlue vote

JetBlue pilots, having been offered ALPA representation, have expressed their opinion.
No thanks. 
A 60/40 split after much lobbying was a dismal performance by our union. But if we think for a moment, why should the JetBlue pilots have voted otherwise? Their A-320 hourly rate is higher than ours. They have premium pay for overtime where we don't. They are not saddled with artificially low maximum pay caps designed to prevent them from making money. Why should they vote for a union that has demonstrated time and again on our property that it does not care what your year end W-2 is.
Why indeed?
