Look who's hiding... By your theory, we shouldn't trust you; therfore, your opinion means nothing.
But I am not hiding. This is my last name.

Has anyone noticed how many union naysayers there are with a CL300 type rating? This is the biggest hurdle we have to getting the union in. New hires are happy because of those 2-3 day layovers in Europe or Hawaii, and the Capt's have the "I've got mine, pull up the rope" mentality. For the new hires, wait until you upgrade to the Lear fleet and actually have to work, get the 2am wake up several days in a row, and then get home at 2345 on your last day. It'll change your perspective. And for you Challenger Capt's, remember where you came from. For those of you that came from a Regional...don't compare the Teamsters to ALPA. The problem with ALPA is they always worked for 2% of 6 figures much harder than they did for 2% of 20K. We won't be facing that problem.
Talked to a CAB member the other day and was told that unless they get closure to some items that have been on the table for the last 2-3 years, the CAB will be disolved, gone, no more. I think even the CAB members have realized it is a form of Union busting in itself. It appears that the pilots have a voice, and it appears that management is listening, but nothing is ever accomplished.
Send the cards in!!!

So, Bailey, are you advising that it's better not to even try because there's the possibility that your contract might not be as good as the NJ pilots got? Isn't some written protection better than none at all? Aren't improvements worth fighting for? Don't you believe that professional pilots deserve more compensation than less skilled workers who are home every night and don't take responsibility for lives and equipment worth millions? Do you not believe in the American right to vote?
