4) Junior Flight Options pilots headed your way with the promise of Ken Ricci that they will be in the Lear for just six months and will be transitioned into the G as PIC ahead of all FlexPilots. Dedicated Flight Option crews with seniority protected above and beyond yours.

Sounds like the start of a B scale. They upgrade into the new equipment at the FO payscale. Thats a pretty big hit for the guys at the top of the FLEX seniority list, but then again, Uncle always wanted to return to a merit based system.

A fifth stripe will look just fabulous with that purple tie!

The G positions are interview for your job (again), dedicated crew positions. They pay a basic salary, which you can increase through an undefined bonus system. Be advised, you will lose vacation and days off. Vacation is two (2) weeks and your days off depend on utilization. There will be five pilots per airplane. One "manager", one "assistant manager", and three "captains". If you believe the "manager" is going to fly more than just to stay current, I would like to sell you some land at 60N30W...the three "captains" will be flying 20+ days a month and the bonus they earn will be split by the two "managers". No Thanks.

Dedicated crews are another great idea thought up by those that don't fly for those that do.

When the idea fails, again, because it's a just a bad plan or no credible crews volunteer, they'll think up some new great plan and we'll all just watch and wonder "what were they thinking?".

Is it true one of your pilots was almost fired for critisizing the new uniform? What's the story on this?

 

[GlorifiedCabbie]

I heard he was still a target. Looks like the campaign of intimidation has been renewed.

 

[luckydog]

On non FJ asking a question about a rumor being answered by another non FJ guy and drawing a conclusion. At least wait until someone answers the first dumb question before making up more stupid sh!it!

FI is a great place to get the up-to-minute facts.

... and that uniforms deserves all the trash talk it gets.

How can he be a "target" if he has the almighty protection of the IBT?

Is this the type of protection you are attempting to offer the FJ pilots?

 

[GlorifiedCabbie]

Everyone knows when you are a "target" at flex, it's the training dept. that weeds them out. "Almighty protection of the IBT?" Can't answer to that either. Another straw man argument from Confessions of a Unionbuster.

So, explain to me how these targeted individuals are allowed to continue pass checkrides time after time when they were at best "questionable?" You have to routinely screw up and once you finally put it in the dirt is your job in jeopardy.

And exactly who is this "everyone" you speak of?

Are these the same people that told you my job is now to come on here and fight the union?

 

[GlorifiedCabbie]

I'm not giving up those FJ pilots' names even if you ask nicely. It must really be eating away at you to see your comfortable little fiefdom slipping away,

Nope, not worried one bit actually, thanks for your concern.

 

[GlorifiedCabbie]

No problem, just trying to give you guys a heads up. The FO training department claims you have a bloated program. That's what they are telling us. I don't know what they are telling you but good luck all the same.

I have seen many many people that cause problems go in and out of the training center without problems. I think they have a bunch of good guys in the department and don't know of anyone with the reputation that you speak of. Once again you have been mislead...
