ask dal dpa guys how they feel about everyone in one big happy union. I'm pro union where needed, but all employing the same union is plane stupid.
A few folks at F9 have been buried in labor issues for a number of years now. We are attempting to resurrect our in-house union from the dead after being raided by the IBT.
I am wondering out loud if we can, at a later date, create an LCC union with three or four Local unions. It would be a Joint Council of sorts, with one main legislative body from three for four LCC airbus operators. Each separate airline would maintain their own Local for the purposes of negotiating, collection of dues, CBA administration but the JC would have a Constitution including among other things a merger policy.
Why would this be beneficial? I think LCC consolidation is a given. Why not have an approved merger procedure and avoid the great unknown of SLI arbitration. I am sure Eischen and Nicolau and Bloch could use another $300-$500K at our expense but why not make an attempt to control the process?
Meanwhile, you keep your dues in-house and attempt to establish an industry wide, LCC narrow body benefit package.
Joint Council with reps from say...F9,Spirit,JB and Virgin. We could get JB and Virgin without a showing of interest, just a write-in. That may compel Spirit to join, who knows.
Anyone who is up for making B6 a career, send in a card. Tell your friends to send in a card. Sadly, many yes voters have yet to send in a card. The clock is ticking. New health care plans are right around the corner. Think last year was bad? Send in a card!
"In business, you don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate."
New plans are out. Are they notably worse than last year?
You take issue with it? You wont even know the extent of the increase and/or reduction is benefit until you need a specific treatment that was covered in previous years and all of a sudden isnt.
It wont be disclosed or included in any of the presentations by johanna. Everything is ra ra free pizza here until you find yourself broke.
Wait until that simple biopsy on that freckle on your back ends up costing you $900 after insurance.. Ask me how i know
Plus that bill came yesterday and oh by the way I already spent $11,000 this year for my family NOT including the $3600 in yearly premiums.
Then again smartass you might take exception with his assumptions because afterall coverage couldnt get any worse !!!!
Wake up boy you might be 31 years old but you are not exempt from life
He doesn't care because he uses his wife's medical insurance. This koolaide cabbage patch is a putz.
Last years plans are plenty bad enough. Just cause they kept them the same doesn't mean anything.
It is still going to cost me in the thousands of dollars to have a kid.
I still care Pinnacle pilot. Tell me, how would you characterize your overall compensation as a Pinnacle pilot relative to industry standard?
You are such as pucking ****************************** bag. Pilots are suffering under these plans and you are setting calendar reminders to bring up a useless point. Our plans suck!!! And they suck more this year because we have to suffer under them for another year. We have a sub 200 pilot at Jetblue that is dealing with the terrible health plans right now. Imagine the risk a new hire is assuming since the seed money is NOT prorated takes.Agree that our medical is inexcusable. The relevance of my post is a reply to the post I quoted and the impression it gave about 2014 plan changes.

Why don't you seek him out and make your snickering stupid point - "see the plans is not worse than last year" to him. You don't have the BALLS. He is a really nice guy and I sure it will take every ounce of niceness not to ______ up and down the block. You are so wrapped up in BP.com brownie points while real people and their kids are suffering under this BS medical plan. It is pucking gross. Grow up!!!
Do us all a favor and leave!!! FAST!!! Oh but you are the pucking ****************************** bag that wants things to stay bad here so that everyone else leaves and you become King $hit of turd Island. You are throwing other under the bus so that you might benefit with different days off. WOW!!!
No I'm not pissed. You are just a pucking ****************************** bag!!
standard pro-union shaming tactics. Unless you post 100% that management sucks and union can do no wrong, you will get these responses. Gang mentality I think it is called, they make you want to belong because of the love they bring.Do you feel better now?
Splert did you ever hear of a pm.....all this does is make jetblue pilots look like idiots.
What can I say, name calling at its best. Truly the best way to deal with someone who you disagree with. Very coolYip you a douce to even bring the union subject into this.
