Will you at least admit your wonderful bosses LIED to the entire Flex jet pilot group about Yammer?

I'm not convinced that you(FO pilots) aren't the ones being lied to. Maybe you need to Check yourself...

On the flip side, I could ask why is the options MEC not communicating with the flex pilots? If they want us to join up, and if they are negotiating fences on our behalf, maybe some communication is in order. Not everyone will listen, but still. Might help with the rumors going back and forth

It's being worked on, but it's got some hurdles. Hopefully soon guys at Flex will be getting communications from the Union

What hurdles? Send us a letter. How hard is that.

Selling a pay cut as a big hurdle.

No Union Needed! Yes! I accept my UNION recall rights.

So the only way I can show that I care about my fellow pilots is by wanting your union.

In my years at union carriers the union never once came to my aid since I never asked for it or needed it. If you go to work and do your job per the FOM you don't need a union to protect yourself.

Maybe you should start by asking yourself what things you are doing that make you feel the union may need to protect you from disciplinary action? If you just stop doing those things you no longer need protection. See, problem solved and no union needed.

Wait I just heard from a reliable source that Shanes is going to be brought in and fired tomorrow, no wait he is going to be demoted to FO. No wait, they are going to force him to become CP. That would be the best punishment of all.

Bet my source is just about as accurate as yours is.

So, don't need a union? But without it... no recall rights.

Seems like the "union" is something needed... at least to that degree.

Going to defer?

 

[The Architect]

Checked. And Checked Again.

I'm not convinced that you(FO pilots) aren't the ones being lied to. Maybe you need to Check yourself...

Checked.

Nope.

Information is correct.

Lies originate with management on this one. Specifically DW.

Ask DW if the union made more than one request for Flight Options pilots to access Yammer. And that access was DENIED.

How would you explain a pay cut as a good thing?

No pilot at FO wants to see you guys take a pay cut

 

[dime line]

What hurdles? Send us a letter. How hard is that.

What you think FO management just handed the union a current list of pilots and emails, phone numbers and hm addresses? The union has to make that happen.

Going to defer?

Have been deferring for years. Hope to not have to go back to work in a "toxic" union environment. Only reason I would go back would be if things got terrible here at FJ.

 

[FR8DOG777]

And if that doesn't work out for you, you can always write a book and give employment interview seminars on how to land a high paying major airline job flying state of the art equipment like the shady eighty!

Question for the FO pilots, what form of integration does your side prefer, A straight date of hire or percentage of seniority? Please never mind the fences, we understand there will be fences in place, however, most of us want to know where we'll be on the seniority list when the pilot groups are combined. And we do understand they will be integrated, just a matter of when and how.

 

[The Architect]

What do you call this?

Nice to be protected by a CBA. Isn't it?

To have an agreement that you can defer recall multiple times.

So much against even considering unionization at Flexjet, but you lived under the protections of a union agreement and continue to use that union agreement even after leaving that carrier.

You probably don't want to get defined as "a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements."

Maybe judging so soon is not the best thing. Perhaps, it would be better to let things continue to play out before being so decisive.

Unfortunately this is something that is private between the company and union, nothing public has been said or written about the preferred method. But from what I''ve heard, DOH is the preferred choice.

Since the junior FO pilot on property is a 2000 hire, I think we all know the answer to that one, no?

DOH
Of course that us what you guys prefer, it benefits you most.

Hahahahahaha

Keep dreaming.

The only way DOH would work would be with a permanent fence that would keep the groups separate.

A more realistic plan would be a ratioed integration of active pilots. Look at where you are on your respective list in % and that is about where you end up on the new list.

Please keep telling us that you want DOH. It will make it easier to keep your union away from our company.
