Company Adds To More Than $3 Billion In Profits With Another Profitable Quarter
JetBlue pilots, represented by ALPA, responded to JetBlue Airways’ fourth quarter financials by calling on management to come to the negotiating table with a contract. The airline announced its 31st consecutive profitable quarter, with $170 million in pretax gross profits. Since the pilots began negotiations three years ago, the company has made more than $3 billion in pretax profits. Yet, JetBlue management has been slow to provide the pilots with a market-rate contract that would bring them in line with their peers at other airlines, according to the union.
