How to Preflight a Flight Options Citation X

[Freedom]

You Sir need to do your homework

His agenda is to put his company out of business. It is a contract negotiating tactic.

While I do not support anyone who operates broken aircraft. This is a little extreme.

I wish you guys the best in your contract negotiations. You deserve it. I just do not think this is the way to do it.

Ask several NetJets Pilots what got them their Contract and you will hear the words: "The Pledge"

Our Lawyers have told us not to use the term because they feel the scum bag lawyers over at Ford and Harrison might sue us if we did, claiming an illegal job action.

There are copies of the Pledge floating around from the NetJets battle days, but in essense, it said not to do the company ANY favors during negotiations and to fly by the book. Both totally legal techniques I might add.

This technique however is only effective when the vast majority of the Pilots take it upon themselves to execute it.

The Pilots are the grease that keeps a Corporate Jet fleet operating. Read between the lines. Without our cooperation, things will naturally slow to a crawl.

No. I don't want to wait 5 or 6 years for a contract. I want to motivate Management to stop dragging their feet NOW.

How about the rest of you? Its legal. In mass, its effective. Let's stand shoulder to shoulder and demand a Contract!

Freedom is not Free.

Thank you for noticing my point. That illustrates my problem with these people all along. Why would you put the company that you are trying to get more money from out of business? It just doesn't make sense. I see it as the whole " biting the hand tha feeds" dilemma.

Management wants you to think exactly that. If you want a contract, this chicken$hit not biting the hand that feeds mentality has to stop.

And, you end up taking out a bunch of other people that depend on the company that are niether pro-union or anti-union, they just want to work.
Why????

There should be no one on the fence. FLOPS is a union shop, period. Once a contract is negotiated, the fence sitters will benefit so they had better stop slacking off and practice some solidarity instead of riding the coat tails of those who are practicing solidarity. I have more respect for a pro management pilot than I do a fence sitter. At least he takes a stand.

I know who you are talking about now. Captain Coat tails. He is nothing more than a parasite that sits on the sidelines and he has the nerve to complain about others not working hard enough? Doesn't that boy have any self-respect?

Nope. He is a narcissist. And when he walks away thinking he's impressed everyone he doesn't seeing them rolling their eyes and mumbling about him behind his back.
