Flexjet Pilot Authorization Card

Union does not help that. Look at AA/TWA, USAir/AWA, AA/RenoAir. All of them are unionized and they were still stapled to the bottom of the list.

However, NJA (union) and NJI (non-union) will be done via a virtual seniority list that is DOH. No stapling in this instance.

LOL-I believe you commented last year how they would never be over 100 planes. Next year will your number be 150? According to bombardier, the 300 is sold out until 2012. How many does flexjets have? I guess their owners dont mind being a "test bed." What's the alternative? Buying the "very well tested" G200, Ultra, CX? How's the hawker 4000 "test bed" coming along? I wonder if CAL is getting nervous about being a "test bed" for the 787? LOL......

AMEN BROTHA!!!

DRINKS ON ME!!!!!

It depends what you bring to the table. TWA- within a month of chapter 7. USAir- they were in dire straights. RenoAir- no comment necessary.

Doesn't matter though, Netjets buying us is a joke.

This drive is really gaining some momentum. New users are signing up on the IBT board every single day. I keep running into other pilots in the FBO lounges and the union drive is almost always brought up by somebody. It sounds like a lot are sending in their cards. Lots of new hires coming through too. We need to make sure they get the website for the IBT forum.

I really hope that the integration goes by DOH and the merger goes smoothly. But saying that a union keeps you from being stapled to the bottom is misinformation.

Just getting this back to the top. I have talked to many crews that don't know where to get their cards. Now would be a key time to make another mass mailing.

Bailey - where did I say what you mentioned, "a union keeps you from being stapled to the bottom"? I did not state that.

You were the one that mentioned "staple jobs" and I pointed out that the NJA/NJI merger is going to be done via virtual seniority list that gives credit for DOH. No staple job in that instance.

Print some out and leave them in the flight planning room at FBO's.

Bailey, read their contract concerning your stapling comment. IBT representation would allow us some seniority integration. Without IBT representation we more than likely go to the bottom.



1.10(c)(i)​

​

If pilots of the acquired carrier are hired by the Company, the seniority lists of
the respective pilot groups shall be integrated pursuant to Teamsters Merger Policy if
both groups are represented by the IBT, or if the pilots of the acquired airline are not
represented by the IBT, then pursuant to a method to be determined by the Union.
Seniority integration procedures shall be promptly initiated following announcement of
an operational merger affecting the seniority of the pilot groups. ​

Any clue on how many cards are sent in?
