Im Ready, UNION AT FLEX

[jetwash]

Is it true Ricci just fired the Flex CEO, and if so, are you guys prepared for what comes next?

She wasn't fired, she just wants to spend more time with her family and seek other opportunities.

If that is not a wake up call then nothing will be.we called that from day 1

This is very typical occurance of what happens to a President when a company is bought. Not just a Ricci thing.

Oh and with no union, your little perk..."pay for parking"... will be first to go. RTA was a company that paid for long term parking and when Ricci took over, it was day 3 that he said they don't pay for parking.

Hopefully you guys are going to renegotiate this?

Are you serious that FO doesn't pay for your parking? Do they just expect you to park at the FBO?

it wasn't their problem. that is what was said

That is correct. KR's argument is that we spend a lot of money on fuel & services at FBO's and he expects them to host our pilots and drive them to the main terminal as a courtesy. However, we can expense a $2 tip for the ride to the main terminal!...Don't you think that's great?

Which aircraft are you referring to?

I believe this is all a great plan by KR to get rid of the Union at FO. Unfortunately for him if the new "red label" program goes forward as planned we will have a union at FJ before we stop worrying about cold weather this year.

The sad part is, even if we vote in a union now (or the day we were purchased) it won't stop "red label" from happening since we wouldn't have a CBA to stop it. Ask any FJ pilot about my post (not anonymous) on Yammer regarding this subject and you might be suprised what I said.

I think the mindset at FJ is that we just hope this program will fail and go away. Failure would have to be determined by the one who created this program, KR. If he wants it to work, he will make it work until the financial backers of DAC see him throwing money away because he can't accept when an idea is not a good one.

Sad day at FJ.

Did Hell freeze over????!!!!!

I am putting my head in a deeper hole in the sand and I will keep going deeper until I find the truth.

 

[shanes123]

because he can't accept when an idea is not a good one.....

Watch what you say TWA... KR has no bad ideas they are all brilliant and anyone that has ever said anything different has found themselves looking for work. Not FUD just fact!

The Flex a/c, KR does not like the Dallas FSDO, he has an amazing relationship in Rochester, so amazing that even other FSDO's are amazed. Trust me, it won't be long before all a/c are on Flops certificate.

The options pilots are standing strong on the red label. There will be some that will go for it, but they would go wipe KR's as* every time he sh*t if he threw money at them.

The red label will not be stopped, this is his dedicated screwing part 3. 1st, back in the Flops original days, 2nd the globals, and now this. It will proceed forward, guys that you probably all ready trained in dfw from flops that were sllready running their mouths during Indoc about the dedicated screwing will take it.

It's up to us, too make a decision, we can unite in 1 company and union, get an all covering new contract and at which point that is agreed to and voted yes on, the language in that contract would dictate the future of the red label program.

These were not outside orders, these a/c orders were from flexjet, these a/c belong to flexjet. look at our phenoms, they might be painted and rebranded, but which pilots are flying them and why.

If ever there was a time for FJ and flops pilots to stand together it is now

I think you guys at Flex need to settle down and take a deep breath. The last thing you guys need is a Union. If having a Union at FO is such a great thing, why is there a mass exodus of pilots leaving here to go to Flex? Voting in a union is going to destroy your quality of life. KR is loyal to those that show loyalty to him.
