NJA Pilots Vote

[mt2]

Don't mean to be ignorant but why the vote ?? I thought NJA was IBT already ?? Decertification ?? Merging of two groups ??

Thx..

The vote is to decertify IBT or form our own in house union. "NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP)."

How many votes are needed to vote in NJASAP?

 

[fischman]

However much the total vote count is: 50%+1.

So if only 10 pilots vote, 6 will be enough to vote in either orginization.

As a friendly warning, some of the NJ pilots mistook their voting packet as junk mail.

The union leadership wasn't even smart enough to make the packet not look like junk mail.

Wouldn't it be poetic justice to discover the union got decertified because the union couldn't get the package to look important enough to open?

Some of the NJA pilots wanted to leave the Teamsters when they left Local 284 and set up (pilot exclusive) 1108, but the timing wasn't right then. Now it is. For the approximately 2800 NJA pilots, who have a lengthy contract and a good working relationship with the Company, becoming independent is the next logical step. There's also potentially an additional advantage. It is speculated that NJA and NJI will combine and the NJI pilots are thought to prefer an in-house Association.

The pilots of Flight Options will remain in 1108. Their group is considerable smaller and they're at the bargaining table so that makes sense. NJASAP and 1108 have a written agreement that the NJASAP pilots will help the 1108 leadership set up their own office and the two groups will work together in the future on mutually beneficial projects.

Good to hear from you, B! I wouldn't worry too much about your scenario, considering over 50% of elegible voters have already voted with two weeks until the vote closes.

"Mac, I don't know (or care) what the fudspinner suggested. His opinion is irrelevant. You are right. The votes are coming in.

To those of you who may think you voted when you sent in your card: That just indicated interest in having NJASAP represent you. Something the NMB needed to see. This is the official election so the 85% plus who mailed in a card do need to call in your vote, too. Telephonic and/or electronic voting is something the NJ pilotgroup has long wanted. NJASAP is already delivering...:beer:

Ahh... but there's the rub!

(pirate talk because those stupid boots represent so much pillaging)

When it gets tough, (and it will because it always does when the contract is up), those paid volunteers will not have the strength of the national union and they will see how STUPID and greedy what they are doing is now.

REMEMBER THAT NJW PROFITS FROM NJASAP BECAUSE HER HUSBAND IS A PAID "VOLUNTEER"
SHE HAS A PERSONAL AND VESTED INTEREST IN IT'S SUCCESS. ​
