NJVote 73%Yes 5%No 21% NoVote

[x402]

We don't know why 400 pilots didn't vote, what we do know is that 93% of those that did vote are ready to strike.

What part of this don't you get? Don't try to spin these numbers your way, it won't work. If there are angry brothers, we will deal with those problems in an open manner. IF, mistakes were made, we will fix them and move on.

WE DON'T KNOW WHY THERE WERE ONLY 1600+ VOTES (80% OF THE PILOTS) BUT 93% OF THOSE VOTED TO STRIKE.

WHAT WAS THE TURNOUT IN OHIO FOR THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION? HINT: LESS THAN 80%, alot less.

There are many reasons why some didn't vote. One reason is they are on active duty military. Some are not on the seniority lists yet, etc. When the final numbers on who was eligible to vote comes in in will be over 90 percent of those who received a ballot voted. If someone never received a ballot and they are not on active duy military then it is that persons own fault that they didn't receive a ballot. The numbers against the company just keep going up. 83% no on the TA. 89% yes for the new MEC and now 93% yes for the strike. Seems good to me.

You are right about your angry brothers. And we look forward to you dealing with them and all your brothers. Just remember there are two paths ahead of you. Agree to a contract after reviewing the books, or be put in recess for a long time. You have your vote for your leadership. It is up to you to understand where they are leading you. You do have strong leadership. Just make sure they don't miss the prize, because it is your future they will postpone.

You are right about your angry brothers.
They might be angry about missing the chance to vote, not the outcome.

And we look forward to you dealing with them and all your brothers.

We don't need any help from mgt to deal with Union issues.

Just remember there are two paths ahead of you. Agree to a contract after reviewing the books, or be put in recess for a long time.

As soon as there is a real proposal put forth, it will get a vote.


You have your vote for your leadership. It is up to you to understand where they are leading you. You do have strong leadership. Just make sure they don't miss the prize, because it is your future they will postpone.

Threats again, tisk, tisk. Should we have taken less than a cost of living raise to make everyone in management happy? The prize will be 6S.

I think it sucks they way you all are slamming the workers in the so called Casino - where a person decides to work is their problem not yours. The fact that they have to work here may not be as fabulous as it once was but its what they are choosing to do to support themselves and their family.

Who's slamming the workers in the casino? Sounds like flame bait to me. The funny thing is this management team will be gone in a year. Just like the other four management teams before them. Our union will be here for a looooong time. We are looking out for our friends in Fort Fumble. I have been here a long time I don't want to see my friends in CMH lose their jobs when Shamtulli decides to change management again. What happens everytime when new management comes in? Everyone in CMH gets their departments turned upside down. Don't put all your stock and trust in Bridgeway Bob and "Moisture" they will be gone one day soon.

There are some good folks that work in the casino, although none of them post on this board except for the ones that side with Shamtulli and are hoping NJA pilots don't get market wages and a good contract.

I am in no way taking sides- I take most all of it with a grain of salt these days. I also do NOT want to be put in the Troll group for speaking my mind.

3rd degree burns on my butt and a new tail number

I know I will get flamed ...


but with posts like "we will shut the place down", "it will go under", etc., just be carefull of what you wish for ... it may come true.

If NJA were to shut down, I have many other options (please remember most of my posts support the pilots before you flame me). If the place shuts down, I go somewhere else, or buy a plane with a few friends. Not as good as what I have at NJA, but it works. In fact, I have been looking at a few Falcon 50-EXs. Maybe I charter it out a bit and fly more myself for the same $ per year and a little more headache.

All I know is that if the fractional model falls apart, for whatever reason (1) I find some other way to fly, (2) WB and RTS and the other "Palace" executives find (they have golden, silver or aluminum parachutes while the pilots have none) other positions, and the pilots go where and get what?? Some will go to corporate aviation and many will go to Home Depot or real estate agencies. Just think .. if you shut the place down where are you?? I am OK -- I just get a new tail number.

I support you guys ... but just watch out for the game of chicken.

Fly safe.

Hey Shovelhead, did you ever stop to consider that some of us never got a ballot? I called THRICE and I'm still waiting for my #@&%ing ballot!
