ExpressJet?

[chawbein]

I just heard on the local news that "some ExpressJet pilots have left the cockpit and headed to the picket line". Is this for real, or just a symbolic thing?

 

[Vortilon]

They had informational picketing yesterday....not sure of today

 

[Nova]

It was scheduled for yesterday to coincide with the shareholders meeting. Picketing took place at all 3 hubs and outside the meeting in Houston. The next picketing event hasn't been scheduled yet.

How many showed in Houston?

 

[Nova]

120 or so.

Why? What's the problem at Xjet?

 

[Ben Franklin]

there's no problem at Xjet. We will sign our 9% pay raise, get hosed on profit sharing and like it.


Everyone will bash the SH!T out of us on these boards and we will like it.

Xjet will be the laughing stock of the industry and we will like it.

Crap, at least Mesa gets jackets.


Oh well, at least Eagle will be next and we can all wallow in our misery and cheap wine together.


Sincerely,

B. Franklin

You should have received an email from the NC that included a letter that outlined in detail our current negotiation situation. If you aren't on the email list (shame on you) I think they are planning on mailing it to everyone as well.

NEWSFLASH

DO NOT APPLY TO ExpressJet until a contract is signed.

It only adds credence to the ExpressJet CEO saying "you could all quit tomorrow and I could put an ad in the paper and get people to fill your seats for free."

Pilots need to start standing up for this profession even before they get their first paid flying job.

People should boycott applying to any airline who is in contract negotiations.
