Harassment @ FLOPS

[DObyDEFAULT]

Pay your dues

Assistant BE40 P.M. loves to harass the pilots - it different now that you a union rep and lawyer sitting beside you listening to company B.S. as they try to "stuff your folder" with even more B.S.

Operative word is "try". Union Stewards are trained to know the rules and make sure they are followed. To those who believe that a union is only to get you a contract, from what I've seen, that is just the beginning.

I second the call for Options pilots to invest in their fight and future. Dragging your message boldly across the sky is a great reason to send in your dues. If it comes to picketing I can tell you that the permits for that can be steep. We've all heard it said--It takes money to make money--and it is very fitting in this situation.
Hang in there!

nejetwife...cant you go get a job or something?

 

[netjetwife]

While it may not be obvious to you, this does qualify. As helpmate to my husband I fully support his role as a volunteer/leader for NJ pilots and I'm setting an example for my children in how to stand up for one's self.

Go Wart Hogs!..

Dude, You need to review this board before coming out with such a weak ass flame.
Like her or not, she's not going away.

I happen to like her.

Thanks X402! So true....I'm digging in my heels and cheering on those pilots turning in cards and fighting for a fair/good contract. Wart Hog, review my early posts and you will see that I suggested the other frac pilots stand up for themselves when I asked them to support the NJ pilots during their contract battle. Now that they are it would be terribly remiss of me not to cheer them on, as well. Worse than that, I'd be a hypocrite, no better than the selfish pilots/frac family members that I complain about. My family is now much better off financially, but the victory doesn't feel complete when I have a very good idea what other frac families are still facing.

My posts have always been motivated by personal convictions. I strongly believe that all professional pilots deserve to be compensated accordingly. I hold the view that frac families are all in this together and that establishing a "going rate" benefits us all. Additionally, I was asked by some Options pilots to lend my voice to their cause and I consider it a pleasure and a privilege to do so. I'll be cheering them on until they get a contract, but I have no wish to irritate those not interested in that support. Please feel free to put me on your ignore list if you dislike my style of encouragement and level of participation. NJW

Keep up the good work NJW. I like her "go smack the lips off somebody" attitude. To me, that's a Lady!!:blush:

What a cheerful definition..... Thanks for the vote of confidence, LF... and the laugh...

Apparently this is all she is capable of doing. I'm sure "bubba" from down the street takes a bit of her time while the old man is out making her $$$$.

I think you need to apoligize, publicly and privately, after you sober up.

Then never post again on this board.

 

[honeycomb]

I would have to agree .... except about the never again posting comment.

 

[netjetwife]

I'm used to being a target here, but that was worse than normal... The only one I visit down the street is the mother of my children's playmates, who is also my friend. Divorce may (sadly) be common for pilots but we've been happily married for 22 yrs. Another correction--I'm the frugal one in my family. Though what any of that has to do with the issues is totally beyond me...

Here's my shopping tip to help frac families stretch their dollars: you can get good buys at http://www.homedecoratorsoutlet.com/index.php

I'll third that...no need for that kind of talk here.

 

[netjetwife]

Thanks, gentlemen!

[arewethereyet]

Sorry,

Have a nice day.

 

[netjetwife]

I appreciate the apology as you very badly missed the mark. I've honored my marriage vows since the day I took them and the promise I made to my husband that I would be a stay home mother. Moms that work outside the home have adult interaction. Posting here provides me with the chance to talk to other adults about interests that affect my family. Those who have suggested my children are ignored when I post wouldn't say that if they saw the pile of toys and coloring books around my computer...

I strongly believe that aviation families deserve the same option of having one parent home with the children that other professionals take for granted. I think that pilots are gone so much that it gives stability to their children when one parent is with them full time. When that is not a financial possibility something is seriously wrong and it certainly isn't the pilots' fault. NJW

Yo, Arewethereyet, when your ready to come over to the real world, and quit sucking uncle sams thumb, then you have the right to post here, untill then go and be happy flying fast in your shinny jet.

 

[netjetwife]

A military pilot? (looking at his profile) So he is...(raised eyebrows) that's very surprising. During my husband's 20 plus yrs in the active duty AF I was never insulted by a pilot....

DL, please don't judge all military pilots by that misdeed. My husband worked very hard for his military pay and my family gave up a lot for the defense of our country. Now my husband works just as hard for the pilots (in addition to flying the line) and my family gives up a lot for his service to the Union. Other former military pilots at NJ also volunteer in the Union and we have NJ pilots on military LOA stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq. (One is a member of this board). Pilots work hard whether they are civilian or military and all deserve respect for their skills. Likewise, the lifestyle is difficult for all of their families and they deserve recognition for supporting pilots.

New day, new jet, gentlemen....next topic please....

Well, I suppose at least it's keeping the thread alive.

I'll enjoy my "shiny" (properly spelled) jet thanks.

I think your current position says enough to me that I'll waste this much time with you and that's it.

Have a nice day.
