FLOPS giving a bribe

[FR8DOG777]

Well I am doing at least 159% less trips today than last year. By doing so it affects the owners and the company. My two biggest enemies.
The company, well they are the enemy for obvious reasons. The owners it may be a little more indirect. I feel that if I can disservice the owner and they get upset enough then they might cry to Shiatfinger and put pressure on him to settle a labor agreement with the pilots. Shiatfinger surely isn't listening to the pilots, maybe he will listen to the owners. Those are the people also paying Shiatfingers salary as well as the pilot's.

So owners here is a shout out to you(if you read this board). Plan on sitting around a long time waiting for that jet FLOPS promised you this holiday season. I hope your children are not as disappointed as mine this Christmas. Since its going to be tight around this house due to the pay cut we all just received. Have a safe flight on that cheap sub-par charter company they find for you to take your trip in that flogged out Lear.

LOL. I thought the same thing. Jetwash is only stealing from his owner. The comany will pass along the costs. Interesting to see what will happen when the savvy owner being flown at 290 peaks up into the cockpit and asks why? Does he have the nads to say, "because my health care is going up, you are going to pay."

To quote one of our senior FLOPS pilots, "The best way to get a sheep herder's attention is to kill a few of his sheep."

'sides, the least of my worries is some passenger second guessing the way I'm flying. Anything you tell him will be taken out of context and used against you. So tell him nothing. Turn the seat belt light on and tell him to please observe it.

Due to upper flight levels traffic saturation, atc assigned FL290. Also, they requested maximum forward speed. :laugh:

Owners do not pay for the fuel on empty legs. Flops does.

To those few who have complained that I don't have a dog in this fight: Newsflash! I'm gonna adopt FR8DOG777.... because he stands up for frac families and tells it like it is.

Prior to the new CBA the NJ wages qualified our son for the reduced price "poor" kid lunch at his public school and another FO in our area was feeding his kids with WIC . I'm sharing this with those of you who might be making the mistake of thinking that FR8 is just speaking metaphorically about stealing food out of his kids' mouths. When wages are so low that frac pilots have to use govt assistance to feed their children, your refusal to help the cause is keeping them from feeding their families on their own. That's all the same in the end...

:0 Thanks NJW. With the current situation here at FLOPS I may need to be adopted. Or at least get some sort of sponsorship.
For just pennies a day you can help feed a FLOPS family. I will send you pictures and a profile of the FLOPS family you are sponsoring so you can share with your friends and family. So call today 866-505-1108. Send your money for FLOPS Family Sponsorship to IBT1108 630 Morrison RD. Ste. 110 Gahanna, OH 43230

Don't forget about getting you aircraft deiced as well.

Since I can't see the top of tail I will need to get it de-iced to be safe. The wings might look good but you can't be sure, so better to take the delay and de ice the tail.

As for fuel burns I know what the company pays and what the owners pay. I may not have stated it clearly, but the added costs will go to the proper account.

None of you ever answered my question.
When the company goes under, what will you have to show for it?

Pride and dignity still intact, my FUD spreading friend.

I will be able to say I didn't let MS drive down the entire fractional industry. You say "when" like you have knowledge of such activity transpiring at FLOPS. All companies cry poor and threaten to close the doors during negotiations. My attitude is " I was looking for a job when I found this one." If FLOPS doesn't pony up the bucks soon I hope they do go under for the sake of every professional pilot out there. It is like stomping out what seems to be an incurable disease. If it comes to that, then I have a few years of service put in with a crappy company to show for it. Either way I see it, I win. FLOPS going out of business, or getting the pay we deserve. Also remember that if FLOPS closes the doors each and every over paid manager will be out of work. They will also be the people Raytheon blames for such an event. I am going to say something that may seem real shocking to most. FLOPS will pay us what we deserve before they will ever close down shop. When they find that it is Cheaper to make peace with the pilots they will do it. They will do whatever it takes to stay in business to save their own jobs including pay the pilots. You sir/ma'am can spread your FUD to some unsuspecting Koolaid drinker.

The ability to hold you head high and say, "we didn't cave and end up like the airlines.... giving back and giving back till we work for peanuts with no self respect."

Looks like random flyer is the new familyguy.
