That's actually the sweet smell of an honest, non-union paycheck.

As a union member, you wouldn't be used to that smell. Paychecks issued to union members have that yucky, bitter contract taste to them. Makes the rest of us want to puke. uke:

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

B19 Flyer. You are a total tool.

Yes, and proud of the honesty I bring forth every day. I resemble that remark.



Look at all the turmoil that the NJA group and Flight Options has had to endure, and it's not over yet. Only the union fracs are whining. Would you like some cheese with that whine? :beer:

 

[brokeflyer]

avantair is next on the union list. time to get those boys a fair paycheck and fair working conditions. Managment there is just lining their pockets for doing completly nothing. the pilots are the ones doing all thoe work.

Yes, cheese will go well with my whine? Can you help us buy some with that management paycheck (oh yea from that management contract you have)

Honesty??? BWAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell me again. What turmoil has the CBA caused NetJets? That's right. NONE. NetJets would have furloughed 495 without a CBA.

I'm waiting to learn more about your wide-body, non-union, international turboprop carrier. Tell us how AWESOME it is KB!!!

NJ has the highest pilot per airplane ratio in the industry forced by the CBA. Those pilots would have never been laid off because they shouldn't have been hired in the first place had the contract not been so greedy.

All of the other pilots that had to make decisions on their careers prior to that when the golden parachutes were offered lived turmoil each and every day trying to make decisions on their future.

That industry leading contract has been nothing but turmoil for the bottom of the seniority list while the top of the list is protected, just like the union always does. Nothing but greed.

My carrier has not laid anybody off or forced pay cuts and it is awesome to not have to worry about a union screwing things up. The only unhappy people on this board are union members.

I predicted NJ turmoil with that "industry leading" contract, it began with the packages, continued with the layoffs and the contract will be next after one more round of layoffs. Mark my words, expensive "industry leading" contracts NEVER survive, market forces always brings them back to reality. The FLOPS T/A may indeed be the industry leading contract before it's all over, and if 1108 hadn't waited so long they would have gotten a whole lot more than they did. What a waste of time and money.

I have no contract Butthead.. (or is it Beavis?)

Yes, cheese will go well with my whine? Can you help us buy some with that management paycheck (oh yea from that management contract you have)

I noted that 1108 wasn't going to have a contract for the FLOPS pilots for at least three years, (nearly four years ago), and that pearl of wisdom still applies to me. Just like FLOPS, I have no contract Butthead.. (or is it Beavis?)

I have a trip from LGB to SFO ...

That's pushing the range on a Falcon isn't it? You're going to have wet footprint on that one!
