One Fractional Union

[Bill_Lumbergh]

Fractional pilots association (FPA)

We already have one: IBT1108. A fractional union run by fractional pilots with the full strength and support of a national union of workers willing to stand up for each other, whenever it is ever needed.

Ok. I'll be the jerk and ask the obvious question. What would be in it for NJASAP? It is bigger than all the other fracs combined. It seems to me that our dues would be sent to other locals in order to help them, and a tiny fraction would be sent to help NJASAP.

NJASAP is fighting the endless bankroll of BRK, and it's mighty legal team. Dues need to stay there, and not to someone else.

NJA's competitors unionizing with maximum leverage would drive competitors' operating costs higher, benefitting NJA's pilots. All done under the guise of helping the poor downtrodden pilots of Flex and FLOPS. What a laugh. Also, Clay Lacy and other management companies would benefit enormously for the same reason.

G, you seem to keep bringing up Clay Lacy. He started out in the Lear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7Xq2KEDAnY

I don't think that net jets would ever go back to the IBT.

Don't be so sure.
Wait till they picket Omaha and don't have the Teamster's represented police to protect them this time.

Funny video!!!!!!! Thanks! I never worked for Clay, but did a lot of recovery/selloff trips for him.

Protect them from WHAT, exactly?

Interfering with legal informational picketing is a major violation of the NLRA and would result in an immediate lawsuit in federal court. Expect to see a minimum of 100 picketers in Omaha in May. Yours truly among them.

The Teamsters are a laugh a minute.

If a fractional goes on strike and the company tries to cover with charter flights, would those pilots be considered 'scabs'?

*i was reading the Clay thread.

Your a laugh every 30sec
