Union coming at Flexjet!

[Necromonger]

WL... Now, That is Funny. You actually read those things? Get a Life!

Hello, all.

After quite a while "looking over the shoulder" of a SIC who frequents this board, I've paid my ten bucks for a chance to swim with the sharks. Seems to me that there are a lot of folks here with very strong opinions on the whole pro/anti union business, and I feel that I can add some useful input from the perspective of one who has been through the whole process (I'm a Flight Options pilot, not a mgt pilot or a union committee member, just a line dawg) but really, truly, could not care less whether Flex and CA organize or not. Thanks, all, for making this board interesting, and I look forward to some interesting discussions. (and my apologies for taking the thread momentarily off topic. Since Flex appears to be closest to a vote, I thought that this thread would be most appropriate to jump into.)

His attempt at subtle manipulation is pretty lame.

Pretty hypocritical coming from a union-buster like you. Are you required to bathe before you enter the "cyber-lair" your firm operates, or do they let you work from home?

What?! You paid $10.00 to join FI? (I thought joinging was free) Most of the 50,000 pilots on here would not pay $1.00 to be able post their "opinions". I tell people to go post on the "other" board-FI light-its free and more moderated for your pleasure.

What, and miss out on all the unfounded rumors, childish name calling and hideous spelling/grammar to be found here???

Seriously, though, I'm not sure which other board you are referring to. You mean the Flops IBT board? That one pretty much died after the CBA was signed.

 

[warlord19]

Well, since you lemmings think all non-union fracs have a slave-masttuh(sp) relationship, I'm just trying to live up to your expectations. But you Mr.P, your a class act by yourself.

airlinepilotcentral.com Some of our good friends here are also over there on the Frac forum. But they are forced to play nice most of the time. :beer:

I gotta say. That Chuck Norris thing is really cracking me up for some reason.

... Just sayin'.

You could do it better than belittling a people, but I do like your analogy. There is a correlation between a master-slave relationship and an at-will employee.

By the way, it's "you're", not "your". Using proper grammar would help your case.

"Lemmings". Really? Name calling is the last resort of a weak mind.

You know that stuff never gets old. Since this thread has entered the darkness, we should all take a break and list our fav Chuck facts. :laugh:

 

[gret]

Geez..I think he is OK. His posts are a lot better than most of the drool here.

 

[warlord19]

My, My, the PC folks and assorted lemmings are in high dungeon. Let's look at the chain of events. A couple of the real sharp lemmings have posted here that Flex(and other) non-unions companies have a master-slave relationship. THAT, to me and most of the rest of adult Americans who work union-free(about 90%), is what is offensive. I've yet to hear an apology, nor do I expect one from this crowd. My post was a spoof of that “relationship” using language I hear every day AND from one of my favorite novels 'Huckleberry Finn'....Slave Jim would understand.

And Flex-wife, it seems your PC trained-mind wouldn't let an original idea or opposing opinion ever see the light of day, so I choose to remain “unenlightened” in all matters so dear to you.

And gret, where is your PC hat. Thanks.

I am far from PC, but your now erased message went way over the line. Maybe an apology from you would be in order. A spoof can be extremely tasteless if you didn't already know that. You are hanging around a sick group of people if this is the kind of language and spoofing you hear everyday. I am open to hearing from all sides of this debate including yours but I have now lost all interest to read anything you or if you represent F&H they say. To now defend yourself behind a fictional character is pretty weak.

 

[doh]

Did Warlord get the gate? I see his name is red.

 

[warlord19]

Hey doh. I had to take some time off to read the PC Bible, er, PC Manual. It's a pretty interesting read if you can't get to sleep some night. But talking about unions, the CA string has some adult conversation going on there if you are still interested in this sort of thing. It looks like the effort this year at Flex is dead, but there's always next year. I think the majority of our pilots have weighed both sides and, again, have come to the right conclusion.

Good news for Flex, bad news for NJA, as Flex will be able to compete more efficiently.

 

[pers-headwall]

This string is dead, as is the union drive at Flex.

 

[hammer2]

Uh-oh!

 

[doh]

I'll bite. What's the uh-oh mean?

It was my well thought out response in regards to Citationair's vote, leaving Flex the only fractional without representation.


Sorry, Avantair too.
