Hurray for the 1108, The RIFed are back !

[993_Pilot]

According to Kenn's weekly message today, the RIFed pilots were offered their jobs back. Welcome back all !

Wait and See

I don't know, Ricci's message said some of the RIFd pilots were contacted. I haven't seen much activity on the 1108 board from the 70 letting on that they have been contacted. Looking forward to official 1108 communication soon.

Some may choose not to return because they have found other employment, and maybe all of them have not yet had contact, but it is my understanding that they will all be offered their jobs back, and with full back pay!

Way Cool

That would really make a statement. Now let's get a contract TAed to vote on.

Ok I want to see how B19 is gonna spin this!!!!

Way to go 1108. For anybody who doesnt like unions, the 1108 got a lot of pilots jobs back today. Thanks to all who made this happen.

Good on ya 1108!

Outstanding news. Hang tight and don't be so willing to vote on the first TA. You are all having an impact-in a very possitive way. B19? He'll claim some other crap, especially after you get your first CBA and FLOPs makes money with happy pilots. Facts have a way of remaining obscure with some folks.

Thanks for the update, 993! Good post, Pervis! Absolutely, Hogprint! Kudos all around: to the leaders who worked the issue, to the pilotgroup for the solidarity that made it possible, and to the unjustifiably fired pilots and their families for their patience and faith in the cause. DL, your post sounds like a toast...

So, I'll echo it... Hear! Hear! Congratulations guys! :beer:
Lizard, I couldn't agree more! Now onward to a fair TA!!

It's amazing, an hour after a post about unions and the fractional biz pops up and ol B19 is here. Kinda like he gets paid to post as a union buster

Nah, couldn't be, he's just our friendly neighborhood non-union cargo company employee like he claims to be................

 

[netjetwife]

I totally agree, Imac. Rather telling, isn't it?!

 

[imacdog]

Yes it is. Nonunion cargo employees have way too much time on their hands!

BTW congrats to the guys who are getting their jobs back - hopefully the next step will be a good contract to vote on.

 

[netjetwife]

Definitely! If management is smart they'll keep the momentum going. Clearing this hurdle shows that they're getting the teamwork idea at last. That's a logical guess, and if true, it bodes well for putting out a decent TA in the near future. Hopefully, the FLOPS aren't going to waste time with a POSTA. After all they've put the pilotgroup thru that would be a stupid idea destined to backfire. Giving MS the boot raised spirits. Bringing back the wrongly fired pilots is another morale boost. If they want profits to rise, too, the best thing they can do is offer the Options pilots a fair contract guaranteed to motivate them and keep morale going up. Good Luck, guys! NJW

I'm BAAAAACK!!!


All pilots will be contacted, this may take time due to people being on vacation or employeed elsewhere. I was contacted Thursday night.
Now, we will all work on a TA.

 

[netjetwife]

Good news, indeed! Welcome Back, Slowjet!
Your's is one of the posts I was looking for to make it a "done deal". Now that I can stop holding my breath... here's a card for you and your fellow pilots.....

To the Options Pilots and Families, Especially Those Returning--
