But your contract and work rules will be forced on us.
Are you saying I would get to keep my current direct contract with management?
The numbers favor FO.
If every FO pilots voted for the IBT and every FJ pilot voted against it, what would the outcome be? That sounds to me like you would be forcing your union on us.
But it would be ok, because at least the pay cuts and worse work rules would be protected. I would sleep better at night knowing that only the IBT contract would force a pay cut on me, management wouldn't be able to do it at any time like they have in the past. Oh wait, they never have.
So my choices are a guaranteed pay cut with the IBT or a pay cut the IBT says management will give us. Sounds like one is a certainty.
You truly speak of someone that does not have a clue on how this will work
You are so against the union you WANT to believe that you WILL be FORCED on our contract.
This is not how it will work
Currently management and the union have been meeting to work out integration, this includes protection rights for both sides.
This would mean that you wouldn't lose your seat, your pay, etc...
What you have, you keep, what we have we keep.
When this is agreed upon, a single carrier petition will take place.
Upon ruling of single carrier, a vote for representation takes place. It will be yes or no.
If the outcome is yes, then negotiations for a NEW contract that would cover the entire combined pilot group would start.
So please tell me exactly how you would be forced on our contract, our pay, etc.......
And really, you believe that every single Flops pilot will vote yes
You might be knowledgeable about all these emails with who is in charge.
But you don't have any clue on how this merging of the groups, and the union, the contract, etc... works.
Your ignorance really shines through, or you are trying to spread FUD to the other Flex pilots in hopes that you can make them believe that they will lose everything if they vote yes, so you can get your personal way and not have a union.
Which one is it?????
