This is very sad news. It's just unbelievable that Textron finds itself unwilling to invest in what was a very solid brand only a few years ago. What a bunch of losers...
Cessna is heading in the same direction. Textron is just pure poison.
Godspeed to all those affected, at least the...
Very possible...
Sad that Unky Kenny knows he can get away with this because he knows his audience will never see the person sitting next to themselves as a colleague but rather as a competitor for whatever scraps fall off the stage.
Couldn't agree more. What's sad is that there is just not enough unity of purpose amongst us, the worker bees, to clearly signal:
NOT WITH US! NOT THIS TIME!
Instead there is always someone willing to kowtow and carry their water no matter how poisonous...
Shame on us for being so...
Not too good, but he's still desperately hoping that all of us forget what and whom he supported all these years. It's a bitch when you meet all those you've kicked in the nuts again on the way down...
Wish we could have an investigation of CitationAir's original owner and his cronies. He raped that place blind right underneath the noses of Cessna and walked away scot-free.
Yes, they are not in a position to loose their cool and unlike yourself scream like a teenage girl. They could be sued which is why besides a lot of other reasons they can't fire their lawyers either. Are you really this dimwitted to have to be told that?
If you had any leadership experience...
Your leaders are the ones who stuck their personal necks out to found your damn Union when you had nothing. They're not politicians and they are as fired up as you are. The only difference is they are not in a position to sound off the way you can on an anonymous board.
If you are fed up...
You do realize that it's you and every other Flops and CA pilot that together make up the 1108. Until you realize, that it's you (yes, as in you personally) that needs to grow a pair by stepping up and finally supporting your Union. If you insist on waiting for others to carry your water you...
"Not too bad", and yet he asks if a family can make it on that in the NE...
He's become "Brooks" in the Shawshank Redemption. He's an "instituitional Man" as Morgan Freeman puts it.

What, did TC and Phildo remove you from their XMas card list? Been told that your services will no longer be required after the takeover or what?
Yeah, you're not management...Hah! Me thinks thou protests a whee bit much...
Interesting turn of phrase there Bogus. Freudian Slip?
1108 has explained their legal position clearly and succinctly while Ricci just said "I'm a lawyer", whatever that is supposed to mean. How you can interpret their points as "looking out for themselves" is just so much unreasoned prejudice.
If you can't recognize that Ricci is just using his...
That petition was actually circulated? How sad.
Amazingly that apparently there are always some pilots who really are swayed by the retarded argument that CA Pilots are worth less than FLOPS Pilots based on how their companies performed economically.
Reminds me of the a-holes at AA in the...
Well, look who's finally coming around... All it took is your cushy little side show being threatened and you come a runnin.
Guess you're hoping you can switch sides again and become a line guy real quick? :puke:
Now where did I put my old United Clicker....?
HumpyeeBLowtard has been...
You're not heartless, just misinformed... didn't you know stock options and bonuses not only trump common sense but also invalidate physics? God bless the Job Creators. :eek:
Yes you're right, things did not work out too well at CA precisely because too many pilots decided like you to take their chances...by the time they woke up it was almost too late...in other words too little too late. It's amazing that this lesson just does not seem to sink in no matter how...
Happy with their integration? Are you serious? I can't believe you are this naive. It's about following the law and not whether or not anyone is happy.
You did notice that it is IBT 1108 and not FLOPS 1108, it's not your personal local. The IBT is obligated by law to represent both pilot...
Let's see...I wonder how ALPA handled that when Continental and United combined just recently?
MB is a law & Duty of Fair Representation is a law. Laws tend to obligate people to act in accordance to what is stated in them if they want to avoid lawsuits and or jail time.
In other words: No...
Outerfix,
It's been said here more than once. It will be DOH and fences with the Teamsters and it will be something similar to that without them. What you have not answered is how you are going to represent yourself in front of the inevitable arbitrator? Who is going to pay for the lawyers...
Ah a voice of reason. Seems to me that most Options pilots who have not supported their Union up to this point are going to get religion any day now when they begin to realize it's really not a very good idea to be dealing with integration and seniority issues unrepresented.
No matter what...
