    Flexjet Pilot Authorization Cards

    Hey finj, dont forget that sending in your card is not a "yes" vote, but rather you are just petitioning to allow for an official union drive. So, you can send in your card, but still decide to vote no when the time comes. So there is no harm in sending in the card. At the very least, it...

    Flexjet Pilot Authorization Cards

    Ummmm..we all work at the same company. So unless you get some special deal, I believe you and I have the same sub-par medical, below industry average pay and 401K and overtime rates, no holiday pay, a PBS system this is not seniority driven, 4 bases (worst the industry), rolling rest, sub-par...

    Japhy...come on man. Nobody is spreading mis-information, we are just better informed than you. Go look again on the BB, there is a thread there about the meeting 2 days ago.

    I agree, DG should have just handed out union cards and it would have saved a lot of time. A pay raise is nice, but it is FAR from the only thing that needs improvement. Many pilots will tell you that QOL is more important than pay. what good is money if you are dead thanks to the rolling...

    well its not like we can just walk into class every week and hand them out. management might frown on that

    Flexjet Unionization

    There is no deadline. It is just an ongoing effort to get the authorization cards, of which we need 70%. Once we get those, then the official union drive begins, and there will be a vote somewhere down the road, and THAT is the important vote which will have a deadline. But like I said, thats...

    If the company throws some raises at us, will they also offer me job protection? Oh wait, they cant do that, only a union can. In that case, I still want a union no matter what they do.

    Flexjet Pilot Authorization Card

    Thats actually a really good thing to point out. I've heard a lot of people say "if we unionize bombardier will just get rid of us." But like you said, they deal with unions throughout the rest of their company so there is no reason to believe they'd simply dump us

    I've never known another airline to do that. do you know of one? its not normal, and we should not put up with it.

    Flexjet Pilot Authorization Card

    Why are so many people willing to "wait until may"? The company says it is for "budget reason." That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. Since when can a company not issue raises for "budget reasons?" Does NJ have to wait until the end of their fiscal year? Dont buy into it...

    Flexjet Pilot Authorization Card

    Why are people on the BB willing to accept the promise of a raise in may? why should we have to wait until may? the "budget"? I dont buy it. does DG get a bonus if we stay under budget for the year? My guess is yes, and there is your reason for pushing increases in pay/QOL to may '08. dont...

    FlexJet first year salary?

    Walsh, there is a reason that people keep saying that, and it is because the majority of Flex pilots now think that we need a union. Your "if you dont like it then leave" attitude is, in my opinion, a bit on the childish side. Surely you must agree that seniority is like gold in this industry...

    Flexjet Pilot Authorization Card

    This drive is really gaining some momentum. New users are signing up on the IBT board every single day. I keep running into other pilots in the FBO lounges and the union drive is almost always brought up by somebody. It sounds like a lot are sending in their cards. Lots of new hires coming...

    well that's ALPA. They dont seem much help to anybody. and Bailey, are you leaning at all towards the the union these days? we want you on our team! Don't make us plan an intervention!

    Flexjet Pilot Authorization Card

    Everybody is talking about the union these days. People are a bit nervous to bring it up, but once they do and learn the person next to them is also pro-union they open up. I was with three crews the other day at a restaurant and it was the topic of the night. only 2 of the 6 had sent in cards...

    Walsh and others. I respect your desire not to be part of a union, but do you agree that perhaps even more powerful than a union itself is the threat of a union? I believe that management must know that we are, at the very least, willing to unionize in order to obtain industry standard pay...
