Breaking Colgan Alpa News

[VeeOne]

It's Colgan.........how in the hell does Colgan not have a union???? Chuck was an @$$ and I figured they would have turned ALPA soon after their inception.

 

[WMUSIGPI]

less than 50

honestly if less than 50% cared to vote you probably are better off saving your 2% dues cause for ALPA to work it's members must want to get involved....

Less than half your pilot group voted, either for or against?

Farking apathetic bastards in this industry...

Before you pass judgement you should know that the way the system is setup, a vote at all would go to ALPA. There is no way to vote for management. Just for ALPA or not and because ALPA is the only one petitioning, it goes to them, even if you vote no. This was made very clear and so the fact that people did not vote was a very conscious decision.

The crazy thing is that all of you retards that voted NO have no idea what you have just done. Have you liked the way the Colgans have treated you over the last 5 years, if you have get ready because the ride is about to get more turbulant. Colgan sold the company to the "pinnacle" group 6 months ago without letting any of us know about it. Thats family????? In 6 months when the COLGANS contract with pinnacle expires, after they show pinnacle where the light switches and crappers are they are walking out the door never to return. So those of you NEY voters you have six months left before father pinnacle starts telling you what to do and how to do it, do you think for one minute that they are going to give you anything the colgans have been giving you over the years???? Who is going to be in your corner now when you have a bad day.. Thanks for screwing the rest of us........................................... Those JACK**SES that have had more accidents in this industry than Clinton has had Bl** jobs are going to strip all of us of any pride we have left.

Thanks East Coast Saab crews...I know Houston pulled their weight, and I know the Beech guys were solid.
I dont want to hear any complaining from you East Saab guys when uncle Phil creeps into your room in the middle of the night and has his way with you.

It is ashame....I know many senior folks were against the union because they loved the favoritism from dot and mikey. reality shall smack them in the face when dot and mikey are gone. Also the out and backs they are used to will be gone. They will be happy campers commuting for their first time at colgan and get the lowest pay in the industy. have fun colgan lifers!!

less than 6 mos. A big thanks to the OC and ALPA. This was a tough campaign. Over 40 pilot bases to cover and you still got the word out.

OC member told me.

If you know any call them.


Thank them for the hard work.

 

[flylike44]

is life at colgan so awesome that you'd rather be subject to the whims of freaking pinnacle management than vote in a union?
