How is any of this GROWTH? I didn't go to harvard so maybe someone can tell how we are experiencing growth? We are shrinking. The company won't even acknowledge that. We're to scared to take the next step and bring the globals here, so the door has been wide open for NJ's to get em. Well think about this Flex, how do you suppose we are going to continue "growth" let alone stay in business, when our competitor flies our products, at less cost than we offer? Flexjet needs a very large broom. And if i get one more msg about we all need to try to save 1 gal of gas per leg or how we need to save $2 a night by switching to a crappy hotel, i'm going to lose it! I'm out

Now, now, you don't want our upper management to lose out on their bonuses would you? Our "leadership" and I use that term loosely is more concerned with their bonuses vs growing our company...

I think this is the sentiment among everyone. We have been doing our job, without complaints on anything, since the furlough and, we have met or exceeded every demand put on us by management in that time frame and for what??? We have gotten nothing in return, not even a pat on the back. Ok, we got a bonus last year; should that not be given to everyone if the company does well?? Well, the company is kicking a$$ and taking names the past year and we have all sacrificed and done as we are told and what do hear now?? We might layoff again??? That's a handsome reward for the sacrifices we have made on the line AND, the dispatchers etc... I think we have the absolute worst marketing and sales team of any fractional and until that broom hits the top floor, it will be the status quo people.

I will say this also, if this rumor is found to be true about globals going to netjets, the company can probably welcome a union vote not too shortly after. I think people at Flex are fed up with stagnation and excuses while other fracs are starting to prosper again. The only hand we have in the game is a vote; as sad as I hate to say it, its the only way the employees can get back at the negative morale trickling from the top office of fred greed.

Why wait to find out if this is true? Time for a union at Flex...
 
An organization is only as good as its leaders. You guys are *************************ed.

Ok, where have you guy's been? There's been a grass roots movement for the past 2 mos. The rumor is that an overwhelming amount of Yes votes have been received and the process is well underway. Can't believe you all have been left out of the loop. They've been very careful about who's been approached in hopes of keeping things below the radar until the the votes were counted.

On another note, Art I can't believe I'm saying this but your last few posts have been lucid, well thought out and generally lacking the usual one sided, simple minded and irrational ramblings I've come to expect.

Bravo.

I sent my card in 2 or so years ago when the last drive for a union was on. Wasn't aware of a new drive - if so where does one log on to vote - also need to get the word out as I don't know of anyone who is aware of the "grass root drive'. First I've heard about it and I think if it was more public it would be very welcome news and have a lot of support from crew members.

That's because we keep throwing the same people at new problems. This is also true with our third party messenger leader.

If you want a good chuckle, find out what his educational background is.

One thing is for sure..the times they are a'changing....for the better.
