In a more recent example of management bungling, the upper management at FLOPS thought they had uncovered a clandestine conspiracy to create an illegal job action, in the form of an orchestrated slowdown during the Thanksgiving holiday period. Good grief, our pilots can’t even get together on sending in the dues they voted for, much less participate in anything creative.

In any case our CEO authorized $10,000,000 worth of prepaid charter to thwart the actions of these renegade pilots. As it turned out, we had crews and planes parked at FBOs, watching those non-refundable charters doing our work for us, while we sat and laughed about our idiotic Alfred E. Neuman look-alike.

With egg plastered on his face, our CEO was determined to shift the blame for his ineptness to an expendable scape-goat. He was able to illegally obtain a post from the Union message board that contained an out of context reference to the non-existent slow-down that he had imagined.

The author of the post was called to Cleveland, subjected to a kangaroo court, and fired.

It appears that the executive clown has finally over-estimated the gullibility and selfishness of the pilot masses and may have actually turned the tide in favor of the union.

What an imbecile.
 
Truly Stupid

The truly asinine aspect of this management blunder is that they singled out this one lowly pilots and laid the responsibility for the phantom slow down on him. He must have been an incredibly powerful, influential man to have been able to organize this threatened slow down all by his self.

I would love to be present when Sheeringa is called on the carpet to answer for for pissing 10 mill down the crapper. I can hear it now. :laugh:

"Mr. Swanson, this mean old pilot did this on purpose, he made me do it. He had a whole paragraph in a post on that nasty Union message board that Ford & Harrison said was going to shut the company down. We even had our Ford & Harrison lawyer threaten the union and the union leadership because of what this mean old pilot said.

You know Mr. Swanson if you will just let me fire all of those nasty old pilots it will solve all of our problems. We don't need them anyway. After we get rid of them we can get rid of all those junky old airplanes we won't need them anymore. With out airplanes we wont need maintenance people, we can get rid of them. Now we will just be finding charter for our owners so we only need a few people for that, we can shut down OCC and it will just be all of us real smart management types left to arrange charters for those stupid demanding owners.

See what a great CEO I am. Now I'm ready to help another aviation company that does not know what they are doing."

We are so lucky to have him.:puke:

It wasn't even a paragraph. It was a couple of ambigous sentences that referred to "the holiday season" being something that will be looked back on as being something significant.

I didn't get it when he wrote it. But I can see how an embarrassed assinine incompetent would jump all over that ******************** and instruct his minions to weed out the rebels and fire them so he can show the people he answers to what he did to "fix the problem."
 
Flt Opts management is using privilaged internal union communications to fire pilots?????:confused:

If I recall there was a warning before you signd on about the "Wire Tap act" and something about secure communications.

I smell a lawsuit coming on against the company and the individual pilot who passed on the info. In a sworn deposition everyone will tell the truth and in the end the mole will be exposed for all to see.

One question is if you are convicted of a Wire Tap or the Stored Communications Act crime is that a felony? If you are a convicted felon are you able to pass the Homeland security clearance to fly part 135? Anyone with legal knowledge have any answers?



If I was the pilot fired I would consider a civil lawsiut against the company mole on the union board.

This should get interesting.

The reality of the situation is if the company were sued to find out who the mole is, all they have to say is they don't know who the pilots was. It was drooped off in a envelope with no unedifying information. In other words they can't tell what that they don't know.:confused:

Our best chance of finding who these pilots are is from every one of us keeping our eyes and ears open. Sooner or later we will find out who they are.:angryfire
 
What you guys need is an anonymous message board.... gee, I wonder where you could find one of those???
 
$10 million

$10 million?

Pocket change at Air-Kelly Airlines.

There goes the Christmas bonus.

Sheeringa is a pinhead. He constantly proves that.

pilots should find a way to anonomously post - the union should provide that.

The Union should also pay for this guy's lawyer.

Ya wonder why Rome burned.....
