FLOPS Impass?

[netjetwife]

what happened to your signature skumza? I liked it better before you took it out... Anyway you can join B19 in my ignore list. Youre nothing more than a management troll. You and Bob can go find your non union utopia elsewhere cause it isnt happening at Options!

Well said! You, too, Galaxy! Ignore the FUD and the mind games and decide for yourself whose posts are worth reading and whose you prefer to skip via the ignore function. No one feels guilty not taking a sales call or zapping out commercials. Being selective on the board is no different than that. Those of us using the ignore function have seen enough anti-pilot, anti-union, FUD to know that we don't want to waste our time reading more of the same. I'm glad I've set my screen to focus on the frac community friends I care about while I turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the Chicken Littles and fudspinners. FltOps isn't going to cave in over fair wages. IF it were to happen it would be because of bad management and the FLOPS obviously shouldn't be in business if the only way they could make it was by exploiting the pilotgroup that helped to build the business. I'm proud of the Options pilots and the stand you're taking for yourselves, your families, your fellow pilots, and the frac community!

THOSE RUNNING A FUD CAMPAIGN AND BAD MOUTHING THE FRAC COMMUNITY WARRANT THE IGNORE LIST BOOT

This is classic union rhetoric, they all think they are doing something new. Once the company begins to trend it for evidence, the judge will grant an injunction against the union, the union will claim they didn't sanction it and the union will be told to cease and desist anyway along with putting 25 grand as a bond.

They aren't as bright as they think they are.

JUST LIKE EMAY INCIDENT! SUCK AN ENGINE PLUG, HOT START, COVER UP, FLY PLANE ALL WEEKEND, GET PHONE CALL FROM FAA, TAKE PLANE FOR BOROSCOPE. COVER UP, COVER UP, COVER UP! THROW PILOT BEHIND ASAP TO PROTECT HIM.

PRICELESS

I still don't see how closing the doors is the only alternative to having a contract.
Contract=pay squeezed out of a non-existent fund that will go away soon
Close the doors=no pay
Both equal "End it now" so why don't you quit instead of ruining it for the rest that actually want to work for FO.
Better that a union leach... The union will not negotiate for me. I won't take it. I said I would take it if I had to, but since I don't, I won't. You can't change that, pal.

This just proves you are not a pilot at FLOPS and have nothing in this except your F & H paycheck.
You guessed it--close the doors. We will all get new jobs that pay a lot more when the owners go elsewhere. Except you FUD Spinners. You will have to wait till the next company revolts against Shatfinger.
Contract or CLOSE the DOORs is the ONLY option! Choose one the go tell it to your boss. We will take either one..
They have made enough money off us. We will no longer subsidize the luxury travel for the wealthy nor support weak and inept mgt.
I will not quit nor fail! I am here till the end for better or for worse!

Galaxy, I know you are only interested in a FAIR contract that offers parity with your frac peers, but don't be surprised when the FLOPS offer you guys a POSTA first... Remember, that all of this is very predictable; they're taking their cues from Fud and Harassment who sits right next to them at the bargaining table. What a waste of money that could, and should, be spent pulling up the wages of their own workers. They'll claim they can't pay the pilots the professional salary they're worth, at the same time they're helping to fill the F&H coffers with your pay raise... Here's an ugly irony; you know that firm doesn't work without a contract..and they certainly expect to get the going rate for their expertise...

THE FLOPS HAVE HIRED UNION-BUSTERS TO HELP THEM NEGOTIATE. THAT KIND OF BARGAINING NEEDS TO GET THE BOOT.

Any Idea how much they are being paid???

I know what they will try NJW, I have read the FUD Bible and watched the events unfold at NJA for 8 years. I expect nothing less from our contract. I am sure they will put garbage across the table. I have tons of trust in the MEC that they will not even push crap on us to vote on.

It is just fun watching mgt struggle running a company when F & H is set out to break the union even if it destroys the company. F & H will take no blame and move on to the next victim. FLOPS will spend the next 5 years trying to recover from this.

Around 3:30 in the second link will answer your question. The Unionbusters are charging around 1500-2500 per day + expenses. The lawyers that they work with are getting 700 to 1000 per hour.

Excellent post!!

There you have it. Not the kind of money a hurting company can come up with, is it... I have Levitt's book, but it's even more interesting to watch him in person--laying it out there--all the manipulation, making pawns of the supervisors, etc. This series should be required viewing for the entire Options group. You heard Levitt, union busters will do and say whatever it takes; they care nothing about the workers' well being and morale they are trying to destroy. Put the fudspinners on your ignore list and please don't quote them. They are here to run their propaganda war and the frac pilots (and their supporters) should shut them down by shutting them out.

Another Levitt quote from Confessions Of A Union Buster: Watching the crude and abusive nature of my old associates during those years, I was forced to acknowledge the vile nature of my field. Slowly I began to realize that my more polished techniques were just a distilled version of the same villainy. Not only were working people crushed by the cruelty of the union busters, but the companies themselves were raped, as consultants and attorneys conspired to wring as much money as they could out of their clients. .... I felt repulsed by what I saw and sickened that I was, in fact, a prominent member of the club. I renounced the field.
