Breaking Colgan Alpa News

[70-SS]

Well I was for the Union and it sucks that we won't have the backing of ALPA but now we have to call the management on there bluff about how given the chance they would make our life better. I forget most of the stuff they said they would do but I remember they said somthing about uniform allowance.

No you were looking for a hand out and a ride!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[70-SS]

They can shove that uniform allowance! I WANT WORK RULES!!!!!

don't worry, EVERYONE voted for ALPA. Just ask them. EVERYONE will say they voted yes. All the no-votes are from somewhere else. Just ask them.

Oh now they will.

I know what I'm gonna do. Get my resume polished up and fresh tube of KY, and hope one gets used before the one before the other.........our new Committee....for the love of everything sacred....You might as well have the EASTER BUNNY for representation!!! Who's holding the tail up now on this goat screw....PCL managment.... GET READY!!!

I voted w/ my feet almost a yr ago now. I'm very glad I did. I have it much better now. I kinda wish I stayed around long enough to cast my yes vote, then dip to greener pastures. Oh well, it didn't pass. I'm glad a few good guys stepped up to the plate to try and make it better.

They did try! Thanks to ALL the pilots from ALL the airlines who had our backs on this. We received industry wide support and I want to thank everyone for it!

364 days until the next CJC ALPA drive

(unless we are at the bottom of PCL's senority list before then, and then we will be ALPA anyway)

Hey lets get on the side of democracy here. We had a vote and a majority did not want the union. You should support that. Now we take it from here. The Colgans still have their hands in what goes on and that is just fine with most of us. Once this changes then perhaps it is time for us to look into representation. Let us see what Pinnacle has in store for us first. I am sure if they treat us like crap we will get a union. With all the complaining that goes on it is interesting to see that a majority of the company is in support of the Colgans and life as we know it. Next time and I am sure there will be a next time there should be more senior people involved in the OC. Some Beech Fo telling me what is going on in the aviation industry while charming me with free chinese food just didn't cut it.

Maybe next time around you guys can try the teamsters...

They sure did. Thanks again. You not be left behind...

This lose here at Colgan just goes to show why this industry sucks so bad. A bunch of spineless liars running around useing anyone and anything to climb to the stop, even selling out the pilot sitting next to them. And then these bastards become managment and countinue to beat us down. What can I, us OC peps tried, and you ignorant bags of poop just slammed the door shut on any chance we had to be heard.

 

[av8rjo]

I heard that some guys didn't vote because they thought it would pass anyway. Good example that you should always vote no matter what.

If another 9-11 happens why the hell would anyone make a career flying a turboprop? Most people would not stay for 5-10 years they would goto another career if the hiring dries up. BTW we saw what happened to the airline contracts post 9-11. NEXT

Our contract was ratified 9-13-2001. I've been getting a raise every year.

Oh yeah, our senior turboprop folks make six figures.

Thanks Mr Hoffa.
