Im Ready, UNION AT FLEX

[slowtation capt]

KR did what KR does. He said that he heard you about the uniform, and was delaying it and forming choices. That was the look here at my left hand, while my right hand swipes away your bonus. KR lives the Lookey lookey here, and bam something major occurs over here.

 

[doh]

It is not lost on me that we have lost something approaching $15,000 this year.

 

[Dirty Squirrel]

And that's acceptable to you.

Nope.

 

[el raton]

I know this, we better choose what master we're going to serve pretty quick. If not, a lot of captains may find themselves serving their current FO's because they werent quick to jump on the DC program. At some point there will be enough captains and only a need for FOs.

Get ready to work harder than you ever have..life at flex has changed for the worst.

I take no pleasure in saying this but we told the FJ guys what they were in store for now it's time for us to band together and stop the erosion of our pay and QOL.. Who's ready?

 

[slowtation capt]

Nope.

Ok, good. Wasn't sure by your post.

:laugh: you have no idea how banded together we are now. KR scared the bejesus out of flex pilots on Saturday. He squashed any threat of flex organizing. The drive is dead! because of this both you and I will be forced into The DC program. It's over Shane, the pilots lost.

 

[shanes123]

Wish I could of heard that meeting. There had to be some "by me taking this away its gonna be better then what you had before" nonsense

 

[C604Pilot]

You didn't miss a thing. Half of the message was full of inaccurate info and lies. In the other part he kept fumbling the details and talking about himself.

If this is true, then I feel for you guys, because you just empowered him to do anything that he likes.

What you don't understand is you're gonna be forced into the DC too. All new airplanes are dedicated from here on out. The traditional fleets will decrease to nothing. Either we join or when there's no need for us we'll be furloughed.

All I can tell you is I haven't flown with a pilot who is anti union in quite a while. Even the most hard core non-unionists are saying we have to do something to protect ourselves.

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[doh]

You'll see a vote in less than a year. One way or another, 1108 will file voluntarily or it will be forced upon them. Personally, I'd like to vote sooner rather than later.

 

[The Architect]

Federal Law Will Apply

What you don't understand is you're gonna be forced into the DC too. All new airplanes are dedicated from here on out. The traditional fleets will decrease to nothing. Either we join or when there's no need for us we'll be furloughed.

The same theme has been consistent from the Architect. There's will be seniority integration. Period.

At some point the IBT will file for a single carrier determination. No matter what - with or without any union representation - a seniority intergration will still occur. It's the law.

So, the theory of forever stapling to the bottom as described by Kenn... Well, that won't last forever.

Note that Kenn stated the Flight Options pilots "resigned" their seniority and came to Flex. Sorry - LIE. Those pilots are simply on leaves of absence at Flight Options. And when it all shakes out, the seniority integration will be based on their Flight Options number.

So, both groups vote for representation and have a equal say in seniority integration and a CBA. Or, seniority integration occurs according to Kenn - after which some "at will" pilots raise a but load on money and try to sue Kenn. Doubt that law suit will happen without a union. And Kenn knows it.

And of course, kiss all agreements good bye. Oh, the wonderful world of pilots "at will".

Good news! Everyone can organize and try for another union drive a year down the road. Good luck with that mess.

Oh, almost forget. Furloughed. Not a chance. Plenty of work at DAC. Haven't you been listening?

Uncle is certainly a master, but 99% of the work performed by the 1108 is done by my peers, so I don’t see them as my master. Sure, I have abide by the CBA, but it’s something myself & my peers voted on.

It is not lost on me that we have lost something approaching $15,000 this year. DOH

Again I’m asking, when will it be enough? Through all our bullying and shouting and goobering, we’ve all said the same thing: This is what life is like working for uncle without a CBA. So what else has to be taken away? What other lies does uncle have to tell? What other former Flex managers have to leave? What other games with seniority have to be played?

When you’ve had enough, let us know.

Dude, freakin' file the single carrier already! Quit asking me when it's enough! All you have to do is file!!!!!

Then give the IBT 1108 a little confidence that representation won't be voted down after filing. We have been on your side of the fence, and don't care to go back to working for Kenn without a union contract. All you need to do is get 50%+1 of the Flex pilots to express their interest by turning in a card asking for representation.

 

[Flex605]

Flex pilots are truly the biggest pussies I have ever seen . A man comes and robs them and they say oh well ......when is enough enough. ken has won and will continue to win . Ken if you are watching do anything you want to us my peers have no back bone . Please make sure you leave enough money for us to pay our mortgage and car payments . Thank you sir
Note- no union drive to flex. The possible drive is completely dead .

Get ready for a new set of rules to follow, not the Feds, but KRs.


Oh, and buy a bigger roller board too.
