NYT: "Market for Corporate Jets Goes Into Free Fall"

[BeeDubya]

<<Not true, 1108 is still trying to dig into all the other fracs even though the pilots don't want it. They are lobbying all the time and proudly state that they want to have the entire industry.
<<<<<<<<

Not true. IBT 1108 has never approached any group. Each time a group has attempted a card drive with IBT 1108, the pilots of the group conducting the drive approached the 1108 Organizing Committee for assistance. The IBT (and 1108 specifically) have offered help to other groups wishing to organize, but have never approached those other pilot groups.

The vision of Strong Union (and later 1108) was for a fully-organized fractional industry, but it has always been stated that the motivation must be internal, so the Union has never gone "searching" for others to Unionize. It's a program of "attraction" not "recruitment."

When a company is going through tough times....you can commercial the folks out cheaper...just how it goes.

Yeah. When that manufacturer's production line breaks down at the factory in East Dumpistan and is costing a $100 grand an hour to sit idle, I'm SURE it'll be cheaper to send the engineering team from HQ to the factory on an airline that takes three connections and two days.....
