NJI and NJA Merger Official

What say you Gutshot, Wolfpack?

What is the feeling down SC way? Did this take anyone by surprise, or has the writing been on the wall?

Just wondering. I haven't seen any NJI'ers post here and this threads been here a few days.

What say you Wolfpack?

At this point I don't think my opinion matters much.

OK, so now my question is since all the F.O.s are going to come from NJA, the time line for the crossovers to initiate and control a vote of bringing the union in is about three years, why would 1108 spend any money on the single carrier lawsuit? The difference of lawsuit filed in Fall of 2008 verses infusion of NJA pilots to reach a majority will be about a year difference. Is that worth the money spent?

maybe the single carrier is the only way to force NJI to unionize. (just an uneducated guess)

Guys, the merger is complete. Eventually, there will only be NJA FOs to upgrade. When the fleet about doubles, and there are more NJA pilots, than original NJI guys, how do you think a union vote will go?

The merger is complete, what isn't is the timetable. And I would guess that will be before 2010. Your company bought insurance that the NMB wasnt going to staple you at the bottom of the list. The price is that all FO positions are filled by NJA. Thus your company will, at some point in the future, be entirely NJA.

Any of you NJI guys think, you would be more receptive to going over to NJA, (without a fight) if they had their own in-house group(union)? I can see this being modeled after SWA. In other words send the truck drivers packing.

Hey Gut, You and Wolf fly the G for NJI?

 

[notaNJApilot]

hey if NJA has an in-house Union, they'll be able to lower the dues since that money isn't going to IBT. haha

Why do you care? The handwriting is on the wall. Both groups will have to deal with it, good and bad.

Go back and read so of the other posts, you'll see who WP and GSD work for.
