JetBlue and Southwest are goonion too...

Not likely. Southwest has been profitable in every year of its existence, except one, and that's 31 years. I don't know about Jet Blue.

You've got a burr under your saddle about SW, for some reason.

Not likely.

Yep. Southwest pilots are represented by the SWAPA. Flight attendants by TWUA, at least around here. Mechanics are union too, but I think they farm out a bunch of stuff to third parties that might not be... I don't know what union but you can look here:

if you want to see it yourself. Scroll to the bottom where it says "Union position. Union dues required."

Unions have air transport sewn up. Seriously.

I don't know Jet Blue. I'd be surprised if their pilots aren't unionized...
