FLIGHT OPTIONS (and only Flight Options) related PILOT discussion

[waka]

Options has what, around 1700 employees and about 800 pilots? Let's say that 67% of the pilots voted for the union. (about 530)

Pretty safe to say that if the remaining 900 employees had a say in the vote, they would have voted no.

536 yes, 1164 no.

The percentages change a bit eh? It's no longer 67% yes, it's now 69% no.

You are only fooling yourself to think that any non-pilot employee wants to sign his career off to a union that is only there to milk the company from every shred of money they can.

is that the best you can come up with? fabricating numbers that have nothing to do with reality? i see you conveniently ignored the rest of the points in my post. however, i'm not surprised.

you have no idea whatsoever as to what the nonpilot employees of FLOPS feels about management. NONE! only an IDIOT would speculate as you do.

there have been many dispatchers and mechanics that have supported the pilots. you have no idea of the atmosphere of hostility that management has set. there would certainly be more that are vocal if they weren't under such watchful eyes. guess what, dispatchers have been fired for supporting pilots that follow regs and SOP's/

b19, you obviously suck at your job. your incompetence at making your case is laughable. you're a loser so why don't you follow the example of your chicken$hit friend and commit suicide? you wouldn't be missed.

19,

We are more like a Bank... than an airline.

We manage other peoples assets. OPM.

Our top mangement are Investment Bankers... not airline and OEM manufacturer people.

Fractional Reserve Banking

Banks loan out up to 10 times as much money (OPM) as they have on deposit in their "warehouse" called a Bank.


Fractional Aircraft Ownership.

Fracs effectively loan out 10 times as many airplanes as depositors (owners) have stored in their "warehouse" aka a Hangar.

JetCards are like ATM cards... used to withdraw wht you have on deposit.

(sound of hand slapping forehead...)

... in the end it's the non-pilot workers that are there to keep you safe every day...

You mean like our unionized mechanics?

Actually in the end of the day its the pilots that have the final say on safety. Its Flight Options not Accounting Options.

So true, Diesel. A recent video clip comes to mind. When that NJA plane experienced malfunctions in the air there were only two workers in the cockpit who made an impressive emergency landing. Was it last year?...When every NJA worker applauded the two pilots who safely landed the plane after it was torn up in the glider collision.

You union mongering idiots have stated that I have said that, go through all 400 plus posts of mine and see if you can find a single word regarding that.

Union mongering idiots?

Really? Name calling???

and the NJ guys are unhappy with the IBT that supported the sanctioning of 1108 to represent them after they got their industry leading contract because they are paying them too much of their hard earned dues.

My God are you thick! The IBT has not supported us in years. They have done absolutely nothing for us! NOTHING! I will say it again so maybe, just maybe 3 pages from now you won't repeat the same b.s. (FUD). IBT does nothing for the NJA pilots. They have not done anything worth our money since I came hear 6 years ago. We are sending them BIG (ribbit) money now, I expect a return on my cash. We have not seen anything, and for that kind of cash we should have Jimmy on speed dial at his house and the full resources of the IBB. It is a bad business relationship. Time for us to separate and go it alone.

So, b19 stop spinning and move on to something else that you know little about.

I flew for an air-ambulance company 19. Was that also an airline?
