Im Ready, UNION AT FLEX

[shanes123]

Well in all sincerity I hope this will be the final straw that wakes everyone up. Let's all ban together and make this a good company where everyone can at least be on a equal playing field The union will not fix everything but it will keep things fair for the most part. It's better then the alternative. No more kiss your bonus away. Cause it will be contractualy protected

What bonus? It's gone now.

What bonus? It's gone now.

Doh... It's not gone. According to them, the bonus will be specific to the group and not a blanket bonus. Now, how much that will be is yet to be said.

Whatever

Kenn's never really believed in employee bonuses, he's stated that over the years (outside of his inner circle, that is). You could ask the FO mechs and mx controllers about the 'bonus' program they had back in the day, and how much money they saw from that one. And of course the 'profit sharing' in the current pilot contract, which is designed never to pay a dime. Hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't plan that money into next year's family vacation budget if I were at Flex. Sorry for your loss.

That's what history would suggest. There's an old adage in money and investing, 'The four most dangerous words in investing are, this time it's different.' Seems to be good advice, too, after a DAC acquisition, no matter how much you might hope otherwise.

And that's acceptable to you. To take something away that everyone had only to give to a select few. Those that fly tired, sick or broken airplanes. When 1 group gets it and another doesn't all because 1 airplane might be in mx more than the others. How are guys gonna feel about it then.

It used to be a COMPANY WIDE bonus at FJ. Not just the pilots, but MX, office staff, etc.
I'm still amazed there isn't more outrage about this. If he has taken away the 2014 bonus after being promised all year. If this is true, they have taken $7-10 thousand from each pilot.

 

[shanes123]

Theres a reason FLOPS has a union and it appears the FJ guys are starting to see why. The biggest Union advocate at FLOPS has always been this management not the pilots.

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.

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.

 

[shanes123]

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?
