well that was quick.....

so once again, ill put it another way so you understand. I know a guy that will fly your gulfstream for $20k per year. So you need to take a cut down to $19,000 per year or you will be out of work....and also you need to work 20 days per month now too.

how would you feel about that?

I would change careers, with regret. But the job belongs to the company, not to me.

Probably the same way I would feel if a cheaper cell phone with equal service and plan came around.

If my company didn't want to lower the cost to be competitive, I'd have to go with the more affordable cell phone.

In today's economy, pilots are willing to fly for less because many of them simply want to work in their chosen fields. Doesn't mean they are not as good as a company pilot, just means that they are willing to work and feed their family.

If a company wanted to terminate me because they found a cheaper pilot, that would mean I'd need to lower my cost to be competitive. I'd rather be making less money than be unemployed.

It's a concept unions don't understand. They'd rather see everybody out of work instead.

Bravo!

Or go fly for another company who paid me more. Which I am looking at doing now, due to the activities of our beloved union.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I do so enjoy engaging my union brethren in these intellectual and civilized discussions. The mutual respect of professionals warms the cockles of my heart.

I have no problem with "intellectual and civilized" discussions.

I do have a problem with pilots who don't respect the profession. I also have a problem with pilots who remain on property after a furlough who make light of those on the street, which you have done. You further claim to know what it feels like, as you have been laid off 11 times (somehow I doubt this number). Until you've been in THIS job market, you don't have the slightest clue. You also incessantly complain about the union, yet have you done anything other than post uninformed drivel on this message board? Have you called / emailed / carrier pigeoned Luthi to tell him you think he's full of crap? Have you resigned your NJASAP membership in protest of the direction the union is going? They're all options.....

If you leave, I wish you well. Sadly, our pilot group will be better off without you.

Don't feel bad that we picked you out, G. It (stooges posting as pilots) has been done before and it'll happen again, but coming on even stronger than those like you in the past kind of made you stick out like a sore thumb. Next time, a little more discretion, and you'll keep up the charade longer.

Only someone from the union echo chamber would think I am a stooge. Wolfpackpilot and gutshotdraw know who I am, by the way. On a lighter note, the reason I have so much time to post is that I am recovering from an illness.

 

[imacdog]

On to phase 2 I see, claiming support from others (usually in the form of saying you get many PM's agreeing with you), and toning down in the posting just a bit to get others to trust you again after you've been figured out.

Seen it before, G. All too predictable.

Rectocranial inversion?

Rectocranial inversion?

Could be! Maybe Steve Martin's Cranial Screwtop Procedure will fix it.

I wish you a speedy recovery, G4. And I'm glad you will have your flying job to return to after your recovery is complete.

FMLA doesn't guarantee that.
