JetBlue Pilots Sue To Stop The United Partnership — Claiming It Violates Their Contract

JetBlue pilots are suing over the airline’s United partnership, arguing that Blue Sky goes far beyond a normal interline deal and crosses into territory their contract was designed to block. The fight could become a serious threat to one of JetBlue’s most important commercial bets, because if the union wins the right to fully arbitrate its grievance, the airline may be forced to redesign parts of the partnership or pay up to keep it alive.
