NEW YORK (AP) — Pilots at JetBlue are choosing to go without union representation.
It is the second time in three years pilots at the New York airline have tried and failed to unionize. The latest attempt was driven by Air Line Pilots Association, or ALPA, which represents thousands of employees at major airlines.
JetBlue Airways Corp. said Tuesday that 58 percent of just over 2,000 valid votes were cast against bringing in some form of representation. Forty-two percent of votes were cast in favor of a union.

The first grassroots attempt to unionize took place in 2008. Pilots at that time wanted to form their own union and avoid teaming up a larger national labor union such as ALPA, which has hostile labor-management relations with some carriers.
