Seems like the Union is coming to CitationAir.

The CEO has acknowledged and accepted the organizers publicly and the rumor has it, the card count is way up. Many sound like the vote could come any day and will be a landslide for the Teamsters.

Anyone else know more?
 
union can't hurt. sometimes it's a necesarry evil when you're gettin the shaft from management.

Well after the president wrote a letter to the pilot group earlier in the year about the state of the company and in that letter he stated that he was sorry he had to make the second reduction in future pay while he understood it would bother some we should all understand that it was not a pay cut, and he was really really sorry for ever posting a payscale in the first place and in future we pilots should just use this PUBLISHED payscale as INFORMATIONAL only.....after that it was only a matter of time.
 
The union is making their big Calvary charge at CA. It won't be passed. Their is too many smart people working here to fall for the unions smoke and mirrors.

"There" not "Their".

what was you saying about smart?

Maybe you should stick to your own kind in management. You're way outta league making the tough decisions.
 
Don't be to harsh on old Bogart, It was just a case of posting while throwing back a couple beers. This will be the closest we've come to unionizing, but I don't think it will pass by a small margin. Many of us at Citationair have zero confidence in Teamsters, my self included. NJ showed them the door and Flight Option's contract wasn't ground breaking. Many of the problems we have here are just the signs of the hard times everyone is having. We just need to suck it up for a while and do are jobs until the shoe is on the other foot.
 
The shoe will never be on the pilots foot, you don't have an say in the rules!
Until the rule are in a CBA the shoe will be in the pilots A$$!
 
I may not agree with everything management does, I do respect the fact there trying to run a business and I've been able to provide for my family. We're not treated all that poorly here at CA. Teamsters are not the answer. If they were why did NJ drop them like a bad habit? Times are hard, just look around at the job market. I know way to many people looking for work and can't find any. I feel blessed to still be employed and making a great salary working for a great company. Face it, we fly multi million dollar jets for a living, life's not that bad.
 
Your right management will always do the right thing for the pilots....keeing your head in the sand will not make it go away. If you dont vote in a union IBT or not... trust me the other shoe will drop.
