Flylow - thanks for the thoughtful response instead of another attack. I havent read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, but I'll see if I can find a copy to read.

Hey Einstein, it's called BOOKS-A-MILLION or BARNES AND NOBLE !!! And while you are in he BUSINESS section, pick up a few more books and study before posting here. Your ignorance flows like wet poooooooo.

There is no need to be nasty. Rich Dad Poor Dad is a good book but I found Millionaire Next Door to be more useful. You will be doing yourself a tremendous favor by reading it. The Motley Fool books are good as well.

I still have to wonder though, if a union is so good then wouldnt it have a role (and be able to maintain its presence in the workforce around historical rates of 35-40%) regardless of the jobs available?

No problem!

I agree with some of your points but I think that aviation is an Unionized anomaly. Pilots themselves find that they are divided on the issue. Most Unionized employees are real salt of the earth, blue collor laborers that are not very highly educated. They care about Friday and 4:30 happy hour. They are concerned about what the Union can do for them... not the other way around.

Many pilots are Unionized but pilots by nature are very type A, go getter, highly educated, self motivated, politically conservative people. Many pilots struggle with the political dichotomy alone in that many are Republican thinkers represented by a body that has it's roots founded in Democratic soil.

I believe that Unions remain in aviation due to the nature of the beast. If management cuts back to maximize profits (which they try constantly to do- it's thei job) it can have a hugely negative affect on safety. The Union is the only device available on the market to provide a ying for managemnts cost cutting yang. It is one of the only legal vehicles to initiate programs and changes in a corporation without waiting for the FAA to insist on change following bloodshed.

A few years ago I read about DOCTORS wanting to unionize in Austin TX. If BigD is reading maybe he can tell us what happened.

It was a UNION Army that freed the slaves.

millionaire next door and the subsequent releases are a must read for everyone. Great books that really tell how people make their money-

Doesnt matter if you make 2ml a year if you spend 2ml plus one dollar you are poorer than the guy that makes 45k and saves a dollar.

Really? Please give us a class on business and why it is ok to lose a buck in operations, but not ok to pay an employee.

My apologies, I did not realize you were not getting a paycheck.

Thanks for the insight. I am surprised the teamsters negotiators recommended a bad contract to you.

But you have peaked my curiosity and I will go back do more research.

Thanks again

I am of the belief that we had a very uneducated, blinded by management, MEC working for us before. Maybe they accepted some sort of side offer, then proceeded to offer a horrible contract at best? I wonder why they declined to assist the new MEC and negotiating committee today with their knowledge.

All we are asking is to be paid at least industry standard for the work we do, and have some quality of life at the same time. If NetJets is so bad off that they can't afford to pay us what 90% of the rest of the country's aviation departments are paying, then this place, and all of our jobs do deserve to be gone.

I comprehended everything you said. I am quickly losing respect for dispatchers @ NJA. Then again, you may not really be a dispatcher

ok, put it to bed. I know who this guy is and I know he is a dispatcher. Allright already move on.

I think it is because noone has said anything good about them. I wouldnt help either if my efforts were so publicly put down.

We're supposed to take you as a reputable source? Another nameless, faceless troll that showed up on the boards right about the time the TA was starting to lay goose eggs? Not hardly pal.
