FLOPS 17th Anouncement

[Starman]

Repeat after me -

Checklist complete.

Gear up.

Nice landing, sir.

I'll get the bags.


Get used to the idea. I bet you wish you had a union now.

 

[Starman]

I'm not clinging to a thing. But you should keep on hoping that you'll be something other than a red-headed stepchild in this industry. Keep on hoping that you are not being sold down the river by Raytheon. Keep on hoping that being an "at will" employee was the best bet for your pilot group. (Boy you sure saved some money on them dues...didn't you!)

Oh yeah, come talk to me in a few months when all this is a done deal and you're really screwed. I promise to have a little bit of compassion by then.

Thor......."Last I checked, the Union was really doing a great job for you guys"

Great another dumb azzzz pilot flying the friendly skys. Dude the union hasn't done any better for NJ, BUT they arn't loosing anything, LIKE WE ARE. So twist it how ever you want, but add up all that you don't have (unless you a SFO, which explains everything) and look at what a pilot at NJ has lost since there contract. And I'm by far saying its rosey over there.

As Starman said ......But you should keep on hoping that you'll be something other than a red-headed stepchild in this industry. Keep on hoping that you are not being sold down the river by Raytheon.

I think that is a very true statement!!!What about you? Thor

 

[AceCrackshot]

You know Starman, I was going to give you a long disseration on airline unionism, and explain why you're wrong, and then I realized, you're a troll. First rule of the webboard. Don't feed the troll.

Grow up children

You sound like children. union opinion not withstanding, we all do the same thing, the same way, deal with the same bullshiet from passengers and to some degree the companies, stay in the same hotels, have the same aggravations, etc, etc.

We may or may not end up all working for the same company at sometime in the future how it all works out is above all our pay grades, so instead of the pissen match you boys are in, I'm sure there is something of more pressing value you could debate.

FracDaddy I have to agree with you, but as you said "deal with the same bullshiet from passengers and to some degree the companies"

Well I'm tired of hearing the same bullshiet from inside our own pilot ranks. And the funny thing is they have no real reason for there thoughts, but they just want to be different.

I had a guy tell me "we havent lost that much to warrent a union"

 

[dime line]

Hey Ace I see that you have some B1900 time, from where?

 

[gray eagle]

Yes, it is a good chuckle to watch the kids play and complain and stab at each other.

I suspect the NJA guys and gals have voted in some good folks: time will tell.

You FLOPS guys are up against it. Friends tell me the number of fleet types is droping to four and that guys and gals in departing fleet types are off to training in the XP and Bjet. I understand the the G-4 and Challenger are going away along with all the 800a and citation acft. Good luck

 

[gunfyter]

Not impressed by pilots from one company taunted those from another.

Unions. I like them. But A union is not going to make a company successful if the management of the company is killing it. You gotta get rid of that management and get in someone new.

Thor u r hard to believe

Live4flyng: Old news. That rumor has been going around for two years now. Keeps getting bebter with each re-birth. All that is going to happen is Raytheon assuming more control of Flight Options by edging other investors out. In about 18 months Raytheon will have total control and then Maybe, just maybe, your rumor of choice will have a chance.

Thor, your above comment really does show just how little you know or understand. How people like you find your way into the front end of an airplane is beyond me. If you do not understand a topic I would suggest you not make stupid comments. Just what percentage do you think Raytheon has of FLOPS and I might add have had since they took over? Who has been in control the past two years? Do you really not know that Raytheon has more than 60% of FLOPS? Just what percent do you think it takes for Raytheon to have total control?

Elvis is alive and well, and will be purchasing Flight Options. Crew catering will consist exclusively of peanut butter and banana sandwiches. New call sign will be Hound Dog, and new uniforms will be very similar to the white costumes Elvis Impersonators usually wear. (Pilots will also be encouraged to talk on the radio using their best Elvis impersonation, i.e. " Roger,Hound Dog 725 cleared for the ILS, thank you, thank you very much".

Don't forget the Caddy...

...as long as every pilot gets a customized Caddy from the factory, it wouldn't be so bad. Sign me up!

51 % is total control. I do not live in or near Athens, TN, GA, etc. You have the wrong one.

 

[minimums]

we all have one thing in common and

I think we can all agree on one thing............ALL THE FRACTIONALS SUCK!
