Options Pilots About To Draw A Line In The Sand!!!

[netjetwife]

It's only fair and right that those who want to vote on a contract that was fought for fair treatment and respect should be required to first extend that attitude to their fellow 1108 Members.

UNION DUES ARE A WISE INVESTMENT IN YOUR FUTURE

 

[ProFracPilot]

If the money is not at least industry standard, I and 25 of the people that I am close to will vote it down Just in time for peak travel.

+1 to your list.

What would you say industry standard is right now?

1108

The 1108 is now pushing away the pilots that are not current with dues to be the new SFO's (good ol boys club) of Flight options. Very sad.

Sad for the New Good Ole Boys Members...

The 1108 is now pushing away the pilots that are not current with dues to be the new SFO's (good ol boys club) of Flight options. Very sad.

Because once the Contract is settled, that small group will become more and more isolated.

Hiring will eventually start again. All those New Hires will be Members in Good Standing (or at least pay a service fee of approx the same amount). That hold out group of Freeloaders who decided they would take their raises on the backs of their fellow pilots financial and back busting support, will become further isolated. And that's OK. They made their bed, they decided to stand with Management rather than their fellow Pilot brothers.

This, of course, is just the divide and conquer kind of stuff that Management loves. However, too little, too late. The Freeloader Club at Options has become rather small.

I hope they enjoy their futures as an ever shrinking minority.


Freedom is NOT Free

Migs

How many of us MIGS will vote NO to a contract and shut down Flight Options? or Kenn just locks us out in OCT and rehires the guys that are furloughed and hungry.

A contract is a BIG IF! We need 50+1 to vote yes.

Oh you mean the scum that refuse to do their part. I can live with that.

They can become Ricci's eunuchs for all I care. Once they scab they're nothing to me.

We need?????

Can I assume that you are a MIG and will be voting?

If not, don't worry about it. I will vote NO unless it is industry standard.

Vote on what??? There will be no TA. Uncle Kenn will NEVER agree to one therefore there will be nothing to vote on.

Whats next

What if no agreement is reached during the 30-day cooling off period?
If no agreement is reached by the end of the 30-day cooling off period, the parties are free to exercise "self-help." This means that the carrier is free to impose its last offer, temporarily cease operations or engage in other self-help activity (e.g., hiring permanent replacements). The union is free to strike or engage in other self-help activity.

This was copied directly from the IPA (UPS pilots union) website. Note the part about hiring "permanent replacements"

 

[netjetwife]

Theoretically possible, but extremely difficult to pull off. The FLOPs know the owners wouldn't wait while replacements were hired and the training bill would be huge. Not to mention, could they even find that many pilots willing to be forever branded a scab....:erm:

Managers frequently use the replacement threat to intimidate the workforce. My husband wouldn't let it stop him if he was an Options pilot and I don't see those guys caving after coming this far. NJW

Then why are you so worried?


Get on with your life and enjoy the $100 per year raise that is in place.

Leave the union to negotiate for its members.

 

[Frac Cap]

I know Kenn doesn't like unions, but I don't think he would want to be regarded as the Frank Lorenzo of the fractional world. Then how would he be able to come out with the sequel, management by trust part 2, the unions best steward.
