Commute Air Picketing

[TurboAWD]

Good for you, thanks for acting like a professional pilot and union member.

I have PM'd you the info.

Ah, nothing like a good ole fashion picketing!
What a waste of time, it's just nothing but a photo op for ALPA's top selling magazine.
I wonder if they will have their poster boy on the cover, you know, the guy who is mature beyond his years!? Tim Martins IS Alpa!

Thanks for the info from the several people that have PM'ed me. I will spread the word and try to be there if I can.

Good job supporting your brothers/sisters. I would be there but will be working a trip.

No he's patrolling Jersey next week in the F15. He was just promoted to General.

I heard he's taking some time off from CommutAir because he's going to replace "The Situation" on next season Jersey Shore.

No you heard wrong, he's actually taking some time off to do Undercover Boss as the CEO of Commutair. He got an all clear for a two week furlough from his F15 duty at the NJ Guard.

Sometimes it helps, some times it doesn't.

Complaining on the internet never helps.

And the picketing is when? Where? I'm sure some other CommutAir parolees would be interested to know...

Help stand up for our profession! Join CommutAir pilots in Cleveland for their first ALPA picket, Tuesday, October 26.
The pilots of CommutAir welcome all ALPA pilots to join them in their first-ever informational picketing event this Tuesday, October 26, in Cleveland. The CommutAir pilots joined ALPA in 2008 and have been in negotiations for the past 20 months for their first contract. Last month CommutAir management presented a shocking economic proposal that demands a 9 percent pay cut for the CMT group, who are already among the lowest-paid pilots in the industry. This proposal would make the CMT pilots dead last in pay among fee-for-departure carriers, a direct assault on ALPA’s fight for pay parity among regional pilots. The CommutAir pilots refuse to participate in this race to the bottom, and need your help.
