Teamsters = Professional Pilots ????

[Diesel]

You’ve hit the nail on the head. During the first big contract battle we had in ‘04-‘05 at NJA, this Forum was awash w our management tools spreading FUD. They were very prolific on here. At least 5 that we knew of.

They monitored this board 24/7. We could see their names down in the rollcall list. If one of us posted, they would come back w an immediate response, or try to! I can’t say if it was organic (as our pilots on this Forum were) or was it coordinated by the Union busting team but it was real.

It was good sport to spar w them on here. We had nothing to lose. The stakes seem higher for your situation. Good luck w these moles. Keep the pressure up. Most of all don’t let them get the upper hand. Respond w the hammer EVERY time they post.

The day after our TA dropped (the one we accepted) the Lumpy’s of this board vanished into thin air...never to be heard from till the next contract battle but in our case it was half hearted on thier part. Their asses had been handed to them in ‘05.

I miss those days.

Is this true?

Two very pro-teamster supporters, both captains, Walked off the job mid-tour. Did not tell their copilots, did not tell their dispatchers, did not tell their Chief Pilot. In the middle of the night they both sneaked home leaving their passengers without a aircraft captain for their next morning flight.

I thought Teamster pilots were "Professionals". Doesn't seem professional to me.

Your "team is as good as the boss. People don't leave a company....they leave the boss.

I wish them well in their future endeavors. You know what though?

They took their votes with them!

That's not the way it works Lumpy. They are still eligible. BTW, not all professional pilots are Teamsters.

You think that makes a difference? You have the same CEO. All the next in line have the same bad attitude. It rubs off so REPRESENTATION is here to stay.

ARE YOU SURE Glory? Are you absolutely sure that's not the way it works?

BTW, The 1108's motto for the longest time was; "Teamsters = Professional Pilots".
Ask the Options guys.
