What to you mean all of a sudden?

Over the past couple of years, we've watched a criminal MBA and now a union-busting lawyer do their best to destroy our company and our careers.

This isn't all of a sudden, I assure you.
 
A strike is a long way off still.
 
NJA pilots are very happy with the current contract

NJA pilots want the company to grow and prosper and sales to increase

NJA pilots are not negotiating a contract

pilots are being poked in the hip with a sharp stick while sleeping even though they are not interested in the fight

Well >> if you poke the sleeping giant long enough eventually he will wake up and realize that he needs to protect himself from further injury

just common sense
 
Ok, I wasn't aware that things were so bad over there, when is the strike??

Raj has it exactly right.

A strike is not an option for so-called "minor" disputes (those that aren't from negotiating new contracts). But we won't stand idly by while the contract is disregarded either.
 
I think someone should send an e-mail to the Columbus Dispatch. In it explain exactly what management will start doing (following the playbook type stuff)

1) I predict management will delay any mid size order and blame the Union.

2) Sales will not meet goals. Management will then blame the Union and the picket event as the sole reason.

3) "If" NJA furloughs, management will blame the Union and their inability to re-negotiate 1.5.4(c).

Management will not accept any blame for their lack of sales, marketing or whatever else Santulli had that they most certainly don't.
 
Six figures? What crack pipe are you smoking? I max out the FO payscale in 2 yrs and will never, ever see six figures at NJA unless I upgrade in what, 6 more years at best? Great, I'll be a 13 year SIC who will never see even 90K while I have junior guys making over 50K more than me because of a hurried integration. And then the company helps me lose 12% of my 401K by an illegal plan change, and now they want to play more games? Sorry, but, uh, NO.
BTW I didn't vote for BO, but I'll bet many of those unemployed people did...they got what they asked for, and it aint my fault. Picketing is here. Once you guys in the GLC start getting the bend over treatment the the NJA side has had for years, I'll bet you change your tune.

Obvioulsly, you haven't figured out that G4dude had his head shoved so far up his ass, that he couldn't even fathom that other people work at Netjets other than him. His Bubba team has been disrupted, and he is mad. He has no sympathy for you. He has no heart. All he has is his love for himself, and his sadness that things are not perfect for him anymore. Cry me a river, you ass kissing POS.

I can't figure out what advantage the company thinks it gets by antagonizing the union. Why not play nice? I don't get it.

Because they don't want a union on the property.

But wouldn't making you guys angry make the union stronger and more aggressive? How would that help get rid of the union? It doesn't make sense to me. I think there is another explanation for what happened at the meeting, but I have no idea what it is.
 
But wouldn't making you guys angry make the union stronger and more aggressive? Yes, and yes. Not only does it waken a sleeping giant, it also angers other non-bargaining employees at the company. Then they organize. Look at the dispatchers for example. The more he upsets us, the more he will get what he doesn't want. How would that help get rid of the union? It doesn't make sense to me. I think there is another explanation for what happened at the meeting, but I have no idea what it is.

Comments in red above. JH was going for a divide and conquer tactic. The pre-written blast email that was sent after the meeting is evidence of that. He was hoping that there would be suckers who ACTUALLY blame the union leadership for the failure of the meeting and you be vocal.

He had NO intention of having a productive meeting with the union. If he didn't leave because of the lawyers, it would have been something else (a remark taken out of context, the way someone holds a coffee cup, the color of someone's shirt, etc...). He, and the entire current EMT, hasn't learned what happens to the pilots when they become upset.

If you're curious of my opinion as to "another explanation for what happened at the meeting" it is inexperience and bad leadership from the CEO.

and furthermore... from probably '05-late 2009 ( I was there starting in '07) there seemed to be excellent union-management relationship. Outstanding even, especially from '07 on.

Many of the current non-bargaining groups may remember how the relationship was so great and EVERYONE seemed to be so happy. Things were going SO well etc... Now things are not, and what is the one major difference between now and then? A new EMT...Everything else being somewhat equal, the management team appears to be the only component that has destroyed everything. (destroyed meaning the atmosphere, sense of pride and any chance of a on time recovery...Santulli would have had us back by now or atleast on a schedule consistent with what was advertised)
 
I live in Delaware and I was there. I had recurrent the previous week and just stayed a couple of extra days. (I coordinated alternate last day travel) Of course it meant that I’m only home for 2 days before going back on the road but to walk the line with 75-80 of my brothers - priceless.

Having my wife there was just icing on the cake.


Congrats Grizz, ya made the blog!!:beer:

although I think the pet name is kinda dumb.... Then again, the idiots we are dealing with are kinda dumb also.....

And there it is in a nutshell.... By far the worst management I've ever witnessed. Aviation or otherwise.. Well there was that guy Bernie M.

Wow, the first post you've made that isn't 100% retarded. Congratulations, you're finally learning.
 
They just don't get it. They need to watch Santulli's videos. riding out a Recession and Proving to your customers that you care

That's the difference. It was his company and our company. The same can not be said of Sokol and JH.

I was able to understand the Brooklynese even w/o the subtitles.
FWIW, the unclear word at 2:11 is Zeitgeist.
