JetBlue Pilots Sue Airline Over New Partnership with United Airlines
The JetBlue chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) has filed a lawsuit against the carrier over a new partnership with United Airlines. The union alleges that the agreement, which includes a reciprocal cabin seat deal, violates their collective bargaining agreement. Pilots are concerned this could breach their contract's "scope clause," which is designed to protect their jobs. They argue that JetBlue is attempting to implement aspects of the defunct Northeast Alliance with American Airlines, but this time with United. The lawsuit, filed in New York, seeks an injunction to prevent the partnership's implementation until the matter is resolved.
