Great Lakes...Bye Bye Local 747

[Cardinal]

Actually NetJets was part of local 284, a dock loaders and trucker union. We where unhappy with thier corrupt truck driver thinking and no progress on the contract. We wanted controll of our own money with pilots running the local.

Thanks for the clarification. Good thinking, too!

I was under the impression that the NetJets pilots are at a different Local (it's NOT 747) for a reason. Heard they bailed from Local 747 dissatisfied. It's taken years, but I finally believe that Rainey is truly corrupt.

Be-400xpdriver is correct. We were 284 but when our new MEC took over, they quickly succeeded in getting a new Local exclusively for NJA piots: 1108. I think 1108 might be the local that some of the other fractionals might organize under.

Hey everyone, the Kalitta Air guys are pretty fed up with the Local 747 as well. Let's just says it's been around 3 (!) years since our contract was amendable, and besides a bad TA, we've gotten nothing.

Not too many folks over CHQ/Shuttle/Republic are too pleased with them either. They might be getting their walking papers from us too.
