Interesting Nugget in Pilot Response To American Airlines

ByEdward Pizzarello

I was scanning through the pilots’ union response to American Airlines and came across an interesting comment.

The response states that AA’s most recent offer limits total JetBlue code sharing to 50 percent of AA’s domestic available seat miles.

I haven’t run the math, but I believe this would represent a significant expansion of the JetBlue code share. Since AA started cooperating with JetBlue in a larger way I’ve been hoping for greater participation (AA EQMs for JetBlue flights would be great), similar to the AA/Alaska Air partnership.

We’re still a long way from reality on something like this, but it’s fun to dream.

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
