Union at Shares

[Ultra Grump]

"Pilots" is plural. It means: more than one pilot. "Pilot's" is possessive. It denotes ownership, like the Gay Pilot's Association.

Actually, I think you're talking about the Lonely Gay Pilot's Association, as it's just the one gay pilot associating with himself (would that then be the Masturbator Pilot's Association?). Otherwise, it's the Gay Pilots' Association.

What are you doing Friday night big boy?




How do you know when you've won an argument? When the other resorts to name calling.

We at the GPA (Gay Pilot's Association) pride ourselves on excellent grammar and spelling. Therefore, let me just point out a couple more for you.

I don't know what talking "thrash" is. Perhaps you meant talking "trash"?

I'd rather have brains than brawn any day. Crawl back in your cave.

Back to class fischman. Pilots, is indeed plural. The correct way to denote plural possesive is pilots'. Your example, pilot's, would imply the GPA only has one member. Could that be you?

Why is the only cure to things is to bring in a union? Every company in the frac industry has its downfalls, union or not. At CitationShares, we have more positives going for us than negatives, this WITHOUT a union. How about the unfortunate people at FLOPS, the union sure screwed them with their induction. This goes to show that the union CAN be stood up to. C'mon NJ people tell me that there is nothing that you disagree (double negative) with with what your company and union came to terms with and I'll call you a liar. Remember that your union dues are comming out of your paycheck! None are comming out of mine!

Oh really, why don't you tell me how the union at FLops is screwing us more than management is screwing us.

And how much do you pay for health insurance?, out of your pocket, moron

Great post. Can't wait to hear his response.

 

[pilotpat]

He's going to respond the same way he did on the CS Insurance thread:
"It depends on who you want to cover on your insurance".

How about, "It costs a ton of cash per month"? That ought to be about right.

From another thread:

HMO plus dental and vision

single 65/month
emp plus 1 156/month
emp plus 2 or more 233/month

I pay about $100/month in union dues. I have free health insurance for me and my family. Let's say I have a wife and 1 or 2 kids. Who comes out ahead in that scenario? BTW, aren't you guys charged $10/meal for your crew food? One per duty day = another $150-200 per month. I generally get 2-3 crew meals per duty day. I'll gladly pay my $100/month in union dues to avoid being nickel-and-dimed to the poorhouse.

Never say never but CS will not ever have free health benefits. I will gamble and say free health care as we know it today will go away at NJ as well. I would bet the typical CS pilot gets on average 1 crew meal per tour. Personally, I couldn't stomach 2-3 crew meals per duty period. After a while it's like eating the same thing over and over.

I think you do come out ahead, overall, but let's not forget CS pilots get more per diem than you. Not sure but I believe it's about ten dollars more per day?

You guys must not fly much, then. How can you keep airplanes moving with one crew meal per tour? Your per diem rate is significantly better than ours, I'll give you that.

I personally can't imagine how anyone can go a whole tour of flying without ordering crew meals. Anyone who does must be going hungry or is spending a lot of their personal time chasing down food. I just don't see any reason to do that; ten dollars is what I'd spend on a decent meal anyway, if not more.

Ive only had one crew meal in all of last year combined. When you're hungry, you go get something to eat.

Stuff happens on a daily basis...I've had too many lunch and dinner plans thwarted due to the changing needs of the company. Besides, when I get a break I want to relax in a LazyBoy, not go driving around in an unfamiliar city looking for food. But, to each his own.

That's exactly why your company should provide you with a crew meal free of charge.

A union contract isn't just about money, it provides a measure of protection against the constant pressure to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

If a company expects you to be ready at a moments notice, they need to meet your basic needs. Food and rest are at the top of the list.

Hump will not respond to this. What could he say?
