My Rant on the STUPID & SPINELESS Flight Options Management!

[waka]

B19,

How about you man up and tell everyone that I've got you pegged? You still refuse to answer my question about the fractional advisory board. Am I going to be the one that has to out you, or will you do it voluntarily?

Ignoring me will only make the pain worse when it comes time to name names.

Asking B19 to "man up" is too way tall of an order. He has been an ass kissing coward all of his life.

Normally I would be against naming names on a public message board. However, in this idiot's case, I make an exception.

 

[AeroBoy]

Waka, since posting users' real names violates FlightInfo policy, I can just name his company since it includes his last name.

Soon it will be time to for B19 to get compliant.

 

[Helmsalee]

What Peachy said. Plus record profits for the company.

 

[netjetwife]

AB, good tip on the company name.

Not to mention, Peachy and Helm, that the 2007 contract was done 3 years early in solution-focused Interest Based Bargaining that produced a win-win situation for the pilots and the company.

Waka, as the female poster who is constantly stalked by the fudspinner I agree with your assessment that he's a coward. He lurks in the shadows, pouncing on practically every post I make but dives for cover when you guys ask pointed questions...

Beware the word-twister loose on the board. You can spot it's yellow back slithering into it's hole every time a spotlight shines across the fud.

I respond to anybody that says stupid things. You just happen to say more stupid things than anybody else.

but dives for cover when you guys ask pointed questions....

Diving for cover because I don't give out personal information? Puh-leeeeese. :laugh:

What has 1108 done to help the Flight Options pilots? It's a lot worse now than it was two years ago. Not fully "I told you so" territory yet. But it's close.

so you dont like unions?

so you've said.....

you have anything constructive to add? or just more union bashin cause your unhappy with how your life turned out.

 

[LizardEyes]

So you blowhard, I and the rest of the Flight Options pilots are supposed to roll over and continue to get screwed. I don't think so. Why do you think it took just 9 months for Frontier to negotiate their first contract? Gosh I wonder why Southwest does so well even though a big bad union is on property. Because, smart management recognizes that it's employees can be a positive lever for efficiency and growth. Yea, the notion that two groups can work together is probably a foreign concept to you. I am sooo sorry you had a bad experience earlier in your rough life under the heel of the union goons (intentional sarcasm inserted) . May I suggest some therapy, maybe Dr Phil has an opening soon.

PM me his info and I'll get it out for everyone to see. Out the dork!

I have Resident Idiot 19 on ignore but, only since you quoted him;

Flight Options pilots are operating much more safely and legally than 2 years ago BECAUSE of the union. The union's safety committee has teeth, FLOPS Safety department simply kisses MS's ass. Resident Idiot 19 won't answer to that because he has no clue about what is going on at FLOPS.

...........oh, and he is a coward.

Tell that to the couple hundred pilots and employees that just got terminated. In the scheme of things, even if it was true that unions had a positive impact on safety, that's but a small piece of the big picture. The union turmoil and distractions on the propery counteracts anything the union safety committee will help. The big picture? Flight Options is not doing better than it was before.

 

[fischman]

That's funny, I thought it was management that fired those people. Not the union.

 

[waka]

This message is hidden because B19 Flyer is on your ignore list.

Hey Coward, I don't know what you said but, I will assume that it is the same old trite lame brained material you have been using.

So, do you have any data to support this claim? This is quite a bold statement to make without supporting facts...

And as far as the ignore function, you're just limiting yourself to one side of the argument. This endangers your ability have a well informed view on this or any subject (I know, just like I said in my post in the FO mechanics union thread).
The choir rarely cares about what the preacher is saying.

 

[waka]

uhm, "bold statement"? You either don't work there or, if you do, you have your head in the sand.

A. I worked there
B. Pilots don't fly broken airplanes nearly as much.
C. Pilots don't fly over duty nearly as much
D. Pilots are performing more thorough preflights
E. Pilots are helping each other perform more thorough preflights. This, in no small part, has to do with union solidarity.
F. The union's Safety Committee issues DYK's (Did You Know?) on a regular basis. These DYK's are proactive advisories on issues regarding safety and regulatory compliance. The company's safety department has been historically reactive and never issued bulletins that didn't have a pro management spin.
G. The union made sure there was union involvement in the ASAP program per FAA guidelines when management attempted to keep the union out. The union is very proactive on getting pilots to submit ASAP reports. These ASAP reports have resulted in certain intimidation program PSM's losing their positions and being placed in non-safety related duties (i.e. Aircraft Support Manager).
H. The union showed management the absurdity of the "productivity meetings" and showed them that pilots do not control their number of legs flown per day. This somewhat curbed management's on-going intimidation programs.

others, feel free to add to the list

:laugh: I needed a minute to recover from my laughter.

That would only apply if B19 actually made cogent and sensible arguments. That would also apply if B19 actually answers your questions. If well informed views are to be had, they are most certainly not from a babbling troll like B19.

I have no trouble having an intelligent debate with someone with an opposing view. The keyword being "intelligent".

 

[netjetwife]

Well said, Waka. We don't need to read a bunch of union bashing posts to figure out what we think...

By the time the Options pilots collected enough cards during the organizing drive to call for a vote the subject had been discussed at length and each pilot had had ample time to make up his/her mind about the Union. The same can be said of those who applied to a unionized pilotgroup. Obviously, the union question was considered and found acceptable or the pilot wouldn't have applied there.

Skanza is throwing out chaff to hide his real agenda. Feel free to use the ignore function selectively to enhance your board time. That's what it's there for. If you don't like a posting style give it the boot.

 

[skanza]

uhm, "bold statement"? You either don't work there or, if you do, you have your head in the sand.

A. I worked there ...worked
B. Pilots don't fly broken airplanes nearly as much. ...data?
C. Pilots don't fly over duty nearly as much ...it's voluntary
D. Pilots are performing more thorough preflights...yeah, to disrupt trips for the union agenda under the guise of "safety"
E. Pilots are helping each other perform more thorough preflights. This, in no small part, has to do with union solidarity. see "E"
F. The union's Safety Committee issues DYK's (Did You Know?) on a regular basis. These DYK's are proactive advisories on issues regarding safety and regulatory compliance. The company's safety department has been historically reactive and never issued bulletins that didn't have a pro management spin. ...and there's no pro union spin in those DYKs, right?
G. The union made sure there was union involvement in the ASAP program per FAA guidelines when management attempted to keep the union out. The union is very proactive on getting pilots to submit ASAP reports. These ASAP reports have resulted in certain intimidation program PSM's losing their positions and being placed in non-safety related duties (i.e. Aircraft Support Manager). ...union involement is not required to effectively execute the ASAP program. Its apples and oranges. ASAP=all about safety Union=all about "pay me more for less"
H. The union showed management the absurdity of the "productivity meetings" and showed them that pilots do not control their number of legs flown per day. This somewhat curbed management's on-going intimidation programs. ...um, yes. They do. See "E" above once again

others, feel free to add to the list

Skanza, to better help me understand your perspective can you please tell me where you are currently employed and what your job position is?

 

[skanza]

This is fun!

Well said, Waka. We don't need to read a bunch of union bashing posts to figure out what we think... And yours aren't management bashing? Come on you can do better.

By the time the Options pilots collected enough cards during the organizing drive to call for a vote the subject had been discussed at length and each pilot had had ample time to make up his/her mind about the Union. The same can be said of those who applied to a unionized pilotgroup. Obviously, the union question was considered and found acceptable or the pilot wouldn't have applied there. Flight Options is not Netjets and won't be. You always compare them, but it doesn't fit. Get over it and worry about your own business and giving your husband airhead.

Skanza is throwing out chaff to hide his real agenda. Feel free to use the ignore function selectively to enhance your board time. That's what it's there for. If you don't like a posting style give it the boot. Or if you don't want to expand your mind on something because you don't like the content, you can ignore. Like I said, the chior never gets any information from the preacher.

I have an idea for your boot wifey...

 

[skanza]

Skanza, to better help me understand your perspective can you please tell me where you are currently employed and what your job position is?

Sure, I'll give you my name number and address while I'm at it. Rrrrriiiiight.
Go back to hiding on the internet like the rest of us.

 

[waka]

Skanza, Did yolu even work at FLOPS? I doubt it. You sound almost as dumb and ignorant as B19! Keep it up and you might catch him.
