FLOPS Strike ballots are being sent out !!!

[jetwash]

Negotiations failed to reach a TA today.
Monday September 21 strike ballots go out.


I vote YES !!!!!!!

 

[Frac Cap]

2nd vote for yes. And I know of 25 others in my circle that I don't know if they post here, but you can count them in.

 

[TurboHonda]

What an excellent time to be a member in good standing.

Right, Skumza.

 

[dime line]

I'm in.

Love the "spin" the company put on this weekly announcement

 

[Narrow Bridge]

Great idea, lets strike! We should work with our partners at Netjets and strike at the same time they are issued hundreds of furloughs and thousands in concessions. If we plan it correctly, we can all be out of work for the holidays. I'm in!

 

[-FlyAuburn-]

You know what. I am so fed up with this industry. I say we bring them to their knees. How about ALL pilots EVERYWHERE strike on the SAME DAY. If it were only possible. No planes in the air, anywhere. Until we started getting paid and treated like professionals again. And I say this as a NetJets pilot. Yes, I do well if you compare me to FOs at most other majors/regionals/fracs/blahblahblahs, but is that saying much? NO! We deserve better for what we do, period.

Go getem guys!!!! It's ABOUT TIME!

 

[dash_trash]

Have my old uniform and more than willing to help "WALK THE LINE."

Hopefully those left can finally see the light ... The company never had any intention of negotiating in good faith ... Please shown them what they deserve.

 

[HSDriver]

I don't think this is any big surprise. The management is just playing it out until the very end. Once the strike vote is done the company will know whether the pilots really have the balls to shut the place down or not and will then know whether to come to the table in Oct prepared to negotiate.

Come on people, lets put some muscle behind our negotiators next month. Vote YES.

If we're all out on the street how will the rich and famous get from HPN/TEB to PBI/APF?

Good luck folks!!!

I love the part about us going into the busy sales season and the new PR campaign coming out.( same time as the strike vote PR campaign)

I wonder how the customer who just bought a Jetpass card 48 hours after seeing the Ad will react after he hears about the strike vote? ( I am sure that NJ, CS and Flex salesmen will spread the news)

 

[shanes123]

Good luck folks.

Go ahead and strike. Digging ditches is so much fun!!

Dude, I can go and be a cabbie or limo (sedan) driver and make what we make at FLOPS

 

[Bronco Buster]

I have voted to strike twice and actually been on strike once in this business. When management refuses to negotiate in good faith, then it's time to take a stand and be counted. Most of the time it works to your advantaqe to strike when there is no other honorable alternative. It's better to "die" standing up for what is right.

 

[993_Pilot]

I've had it too, My "YES" ballot will be back in the mailbox the same day that I get it.

 

[FastJP4]

Go ahead and strike. Digging ditches is so much fun!!

Pilot + poor planning = digging ditches.

Pilot + good planning = multiple options


Best wishes to you guys.

Then do it, fool. And write up scratches and stickers on the limos too, so you don't have to drive them - even though that's what you were hired to do.
Typical.

 

[skanza]

Right, Skumza.

Like it matters to me. Like anyone knows who I am.
F-off.


Oh, its Skanza once again. Thanks, you foreign car driving fool.

 

[dime line]

Skumza, is that all you have, so I guess we will see you on the picket line, hu?

 

[realityman]

Good luck guys!! You deserve better. Most of us at NJ's are routing for you!

Skanza is sounding a bit scared. But like the doubters we had here, I'm sure he won't refuse the bigger paychecks when they come. At any rate, he can always do what he keeps suggesting of others, go find work elsewhere. You're a union shop, and if he doesn't like it, he can always try another company. Hey, I hear all the employees at B19's place are exceptionally happy! Maybe they're hiring?

 

[Myster79]

Count me as a YES vote. I will see all of you in CGF...sign in hand!

Not just CGF, there will be pickets at TEB, PBI and LAS anywhere there are Flight Options MX facilities.

I cant wait to see him pay the "Required Back Dues" check in order to retain his employment at FLOPS. So from Nov 06 to Dec 09. Thats some big benjamins, for a haters of unions.

Good luck guys and gals. Been a long road for ya's.

 

[GhettoBeechjet]

Best of luck guys.

Ed we all know who you are. We also know that none of this will affect since you will be the first to cross the picket line. Your disgust with the union is purely because a contract would affect your special deal. It would really stink if you were treated just like the other pilots wouldn't it? Maybe your friend Bob would put you back in management.
