Corporate Airlines Pilots to Vote on Union

[belchfire]

It is official. The pilots of Corporate Airlines are to
vote on representation by the IBT Airline Division.

To my friends in the Corpex pilot pool I urge you to
consider the current and past relations that we have
had with our management and to consider the way
the future might play out, with and without
the union and then to vote your convictions.

To everyone else out there in the trenches...we
thank you for the support that you have given us
in the past few troubling weeks, and seek continued
support through what is likely to be a difficult
time of transition.

Good Luck!!!

A vote yes means I will volunteer...

Don't expect anyting to get done unless you are willing to give up spare time.

Unions aren't silver bullets... Expect to solve some problems but create others..

Well said res. I would really like to "have it all"
the kind of relationship with management that
precludes the nessecity of formal labor
agreements. Alas, this seems to be
a thing of the past.

One thing noone has mentioned on either side
of the fence, and I pose it as a question,
simply because I don't know...in the current
market, will being unionized help or hurt
Corpex as a whole in establishing new
code shares?

I don't think corpex being organzied will matter. Most companies that 3C would or does code share with have unions.... nothing new...

Unions look at the company business plan and negotiate pay rates based on that. They just don"t go in and get an unrealistic pay scale...or at least they should not...

Right on...and the cast and crew at corpex has not asked
for anything unrealistic. But would a Unionized company
take well to a non-union pilot group coming in? Or would
they block it and come up with a plan to do that flying
themselves?
