Kid, I love you opinion on scope! Really.

But, you should not post that "Luthi stated the company is going to keep shrinking over the next ten years."

Not so, you put together a bunch of posts and summarized that on your own.

He NEVER stated that in ANY post on the union message board.
Just plain wrong to claim that. I have talked to a steward about this tonight.

I may not "see the reality in front of me", but, you dont read what is written right in front of you.

Brews on me then!! BUt it is undeniable that the clowns running the show are shrinking the circus. We need to hold their feet to the fire.

Business contracts are between one company and another, between 2 entities. A union contract is between a company (one entity) and the union, which does not represent the interests of all the workers, just a majority. In my free market system, an agreement between one company and one worker is the way to do it. Then, each worker's interests are satisfied, not just a majority of the group's. If the individual worker is not satisfied, (s)he has the option to not complete the agreement. No need for strikes or slowdowns or class warfare discussions on Flightinfo. No coercive rule by the Majority. We are Individuals, not Members of a Herd.

In that case it might be best for you to move on from NJA, as then you will be able to look for a place to have a single contract with your employer.

Two senior G drivers just did last month in case you hadn't heard. Woo-hoo. Moved up two numbers...

I hadn't heard that because I don't have access to the big boy board. Good for them though, hopefully they found good work.

That is what I had before being forced to join the union. (and I know I could have opted to just pay the dues, which is a distinction without a difference.) At my age, I am probably stuck here, which is fine as long as the Union doesn't begin a war with the company.

Pretty cool! I hope they enjoy the new gig! Is their plane a 550?

Well the choice is yours, no one is holding a gun to your head to stay. Since you are choosing to stay though, you might as well get used to the idea of being in a union shop.

I love the job, dislike the union. Planning to stay, but the job was better before the union sucked us in.

Let's see, we had FamilyGuy for the '05 contract who managed to go away after it was signed. Then we had B19 for the FLOPS battle who has gone away after their contract was signed.

Now that management wants to open up Section 6 next year, ALL OF THE SUDDEN G4 comes out of the woodwork.

Yeah... No ulterior motives. We are smarter than that. Please don't insult our intelligence. This is an OLD union busting tactic that we don't fall for.

Fischman, I never really went away. I've always been here, just decided that everything I'd said had come true and there was little more to be stated. All of you wanted to say I was wrong, yet every single thing I predicted came true, didn't it?

It was never about the FLOPS contract which was a joke when compared to what it could have been had the union negotiated in good faith instead of dragging it out.

That little gem of a NJ contract is killing the company isn't it? Just as I said it would. Every single thing I squawked about is happening.

'Nuff said.
