B19 Flyer,
Do you have a wife or spouse?
Asked and answered.
While you have tried to denigrate NJW's position on other workers, all you have really done is to show your own derogatory opinion (or lack of understanding), of the people that share and support the lives of the line pilots.
Asked answered, please review her words on the CS pay thread.
NJW HAS a job in the Fractional industry! It is the same type of support role that you are attempting to denigrate her responses for.
Asked and answered.
When we, (Strong Union) began to organize and discuss things in 2004, we worked with a lot of experienced people who told us some pretty important things. Amongst the group were United pilots who lead the 1985 strike. One of the most valuable lessons we heard, was how important the family/spousal support was to the success of the strike. Many of those who told us this, were not original backers of the concept.
Success for the strike, not the success of the company and long term investment for all employees.
I have no idea why you would denigrate NJW's contributions.
Asked and answered, and I feel that the word denigrate and disagree have far different meanings. The word disagree is much more appropriate.
I have worked with NJW's husband for the last four years. He worked with me in my role as the Executive Board liason between Training and Management for most of that time. He is a "leader" of this organization because he worked his ass off to make it work, and has the intellectual capability AND experience to make that happen. Quite frankly, he could have had a management position paying far more than he can make in any Union volunteer "paid" position a long time ago.
If you think he got paid enough in his "volunteer" work to cover what he lost in other wages, you would be sadly mistaken. In addition to the real money he could have had, he skipped out on some large chunks of supplemental duty pay, (instructor etc.) because he did not get trained for months because the Union position required too much work, and he CHOSE to do that rather than get the extra pay.
Any pay that members of 1108, or now NJASAP, are paid, is designed primarily to reimburse for other lost opportunities. It has been calculated to approximate the average additional income that our contract provided for actually flying the line and picking up some of the many benefits that we provided contractually, with the additional days work done for the pilots included at a bare minimum pay.
Asked and answered, but for the sake of current conversation, does the union prorate and reimburse Netjets for the money paid for health insurance and workers comp premiums, taxes and other benefits (vacation, hoildays) like the union reimburses him for time lost flying? It would be fair, don't you agree?
You can review my posts on this question also.
Nobody ever responded because we both know the truth.
So...., I'm putting a lot of info out, but don't see the same from you......, do people know your name?
Asked and answered.
Are you really a pilot?
Asked and answered.
Do you work for a Fractional company?
Asked and answered.
Would you let me compare your resume to that of NJW's husband?
Asked and answered, and I know little of his resume, nor do I care about it. From the posts I read he's an honorable guy. But I reserve the right to disagree with his wife's opinions if she is going to post.
I would guess that the answers are mixed. My name's below.
If you are really a Flight Options pilot, who cares about a new contract, feel free to contact some of your leadership and ask for my number.
Ahh.. no... and I find that funny.
They should all have it, and I would be happy to talk.
No... I've talked to enough MEC leaders to know where they are coming from. You aren't going to change my opinion on unions after a couple of decades in the industry watching unions tear apart companies and families.
