As of today, every team except one, has withdrawn from this program. Great job those of you who made the right decision. You last five need to get on the right side of this.
The hybrid program was different. Don't use that program as another justification for your decision. The hybrid program was wholly owned aircraft that required crews to move so it couldn't be forced on people. Two completely different situations. We are still waiting on the dedicated program info. If it ends up paying less will you still voluntarily do the same job for less money than a fleet captain?
And we also need you Flight Options pilots to show us what it means to be union. You want us to join you, show us that you aren't just a bunch of backstabbing opportunists.

Yes, what a bad day for all the junior employees at Flex. There is no opportunity, the very people that accuse the junior employees of being selfish should take a hard look in the mirror. They are selfish too, some of their post on yammer where despicable and one of the guys I will never respect again. It is clear he has his standards captains position - just as long as no one else will ever be promoted he is happy. Hope the external new hires enjoy flying the 350 as the pilot group has made it impossible for fellow junior Flex employees to be promoted.
"If our FJ management isn't running the show, we'll organize. If we lose our pension, we'll organize. If they change anything on our "contract", we'll organize. If new pilots are paid more than we are, we'll organize. If junior pilots get to upgrade out of seniority, we'll organize. If we have dedicated crewing, we'll organize. If anyone but FJ pilots fly the Globals, we'll organize. If we have to wear some captain cupcake costume, we'll organize."
Collectively, the FJ pilots keep moving the line. Where & when does it end? You've been consistent only about saying the 1108 is bad and shaking your fist at uncle threatening to organize if he takes just one more step.
Then you've done nothing but roll over and waited for his next slap.
You guys should read some textbooks about different systems that employees are measured. Seniority has its inherit weakness, yes the marginal and very weak are secure of their job based on seniority and not performance. The good thing about seniority it tends to keep employees around for a long time. A performance based system has its good and bad characteristics as well. Its like pilots have never thought about any of these things.
really, luckydog? In the time it took you think up that red herring, you could have read half of them on any number of threads here.
I have got a lot of things I would rather use the $108/month than Union dues: however, it is well spent. I am a 15 year PIC and make $103,000/year. As of "right now", I have flown 748hrs this year.
With out the CBA of duty times, scheduling, no call in rest, maintenance resolution process, and being able to contact my Union Rep when things were beyond what I could do, physically, and beyond the CBA, this year would have been worse.
Granted, I'm glad that I flew so much, and made money for the company I fly for, BUT I have called fatigue 3 times this year. Without the protection of the CBA I would be a hurting Unit, me thinks. I am not a "dyed in the Union wool" guy, but without our CBA it would have been a year that I would not want to do again.
That's how this year was at FOLPs for me. If you FLEX guys think you'll get a better deal, drive on, and God Speed....but I think you might want to give this Union thing a look.
I think you all fly bout half as much as I have...and make 30-40% more....really, how long do you think that will pass, with your new/our leadership?
