On a serious note, is the FLOPS company wide meeting today or tomorrow? Will one of you please post an update? Thank you!

I believe it's today at 2pm and our VP of Ops will attend.

Just a quick run down of the meeting.

Will have two store front operations but behind the all will be intergrated.
All flying will be done on Flight Options certificate so as to cut out business jet solutions.
flex aircraft will be painted to look a little more like Flight Options
All pilots will come together to form one big happy family like the Brady Bunch.
The Brady bunch will then vote to keep the union, or live like Woody Alen and Mia Farrows children. ( which include the late night visits to your room)

He was even able to slip in some Bull $hit such as giving the reason why the Flops employees don't have their 401k match back is because the pilots union bagained it away from all the employees.


So as you can see nothing has changed.

Correct, I forgot about the 401K!
Bad bad bad union contract, this is why we do not have our 401K, you have to love this statement.

Now that we are merging pilot groups, It would be nice to ditch IBT and start an in house union. Either way, my vote is YES!

All the anti-union cool aide drinkers are in for a shocking wake up...

I will concede that everything you guys have told us has come to fruition. Hopefully, all the lies that have been told to us repeatedly will be enough to convince enough of the combined pilots to hold representation.

Not enough folks unless NJ's lets us join theirs.

You don't have to worry about that, KR already has his group of former managers and a$$ kissers working on that.
They are trying to get the IBT out and bring in a more management friendly "union", who the company will give free office space to in CGF.
They have a "secret" money donor who will fund their cause and in return he asks nothing from them.

The whole group is a joke and pilots such as myself who don't care much for the IBT feel that they are a bigger danger to our future then staying with what we got. Maybe later when all of this confusion of merging is done and the first unified contract comes out we can make changes if they are needed.

Wow, he really is a master at manipulation. The good news is that this merger (lists)is starting to sink in with the flex pilot group and I bet some are starting to change their mind about how they will vote.

Just step back flex pilots and retread some old emails from KR on the purchase of flex...then ask yourself if any of it was true? Not one thing he said has been truthful. Wait til you start taking orders from JK BR TM.. The lowest time most inexperienced pilot at flops is the chief pilot. Why you think that is???? Ask around get facts.. Not opinions... You have union haters and union lovers. But at the end of the day you need to ask yourself if giving up the protection of even a bad contract is worth putting up with those nazis!!!! And having no work rules.

I haven't been a big fan of unions after my experiences in the airlines, but after being forced to sign that agreement letter, and the fact that nothing he or our management has told us has been truthfull, I have started thinking that since Kenn seems to think he needs legal protection from us that I just might need protection from him.
