Nearly every U.S. pilot group is negotiating a contract, but the JetBlue chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association has a unique approach. As the carrier enters what promises to be a multi-year merger process, it just wants higher pay.

A breakthrough in the industry’s ongoing pilot contract talks came late Friday, when Delta ALPA announced an agreement in principle that would provide an immediate 15% pay raise and a cumulative raise of 34% after three years, plus multiple work/life balance improvements.

“But it’s not just Delta,” he said. “The industry has changed even with the Alaska tentative agreement, with over 20% pay increases across the pilot group. The market had already changed, and we feel our pilots should be brought up to market.” Kenney expected a deal with JetBlue at a two-day negotiating session last week in Long Island City. Now, he said, he is focused on talks scheduled for today and early next week. “We believe we should have had an agreement last week,”: he said. “If we don’t have an agreement by Tuesday, we will officially announce that we are in a labor dispute, as our way of showing frustration.

“Although the parties have not yet come to an agreement, both agree that the contract extension should represent JetBlue pilots’ contributions to the company’s success by including the industry competitive pay rates you have earned,” the negotiating team said.
