Hey rusty did you delete the original post?

I've got a bet going with RTRHD. He's going to owe me a steak at grill 23.

Besides I was waiting for the union will take over the world post from NJW.

Please be accurate about my beliefs. I am for professional compensation packages for professional pilots. I support whatever works within each group to raise the bar and obtain the contract they deserve.

How about just a colt 45 at Mr. C's?

The bet is that the brotherhood won’t even file the single carrier lawsuit. If I lose I will have to pay off in HPN. Because we hardly get to stay in Secaucus, we have to stay at the Hanoi Hilton. LOL Thats what I bet Diesel......."O" yea Unions Suck. I almost forgot. I gotta counter NJW.

Common you're a GV guy. You can pony up more than a beer at outback.

Lets do it right. Dinner within the fine area of HPN.

Basically outback or PF Changs.

Don't let a X guy have to show you up.

 

[RTRHD]

Agreed

Hey NJW. You always start with, "I'm for whatever works..." and end with, "...to get a contract..."

That, to me, says that you only support unions since if you don't have a union then you don't have a contract. Maybe that's why folks think you're on a crusade.

What if a pilot group worked at a non-union frac and made $20,000 a month in the right seat and $80,000 a month in the left seat with free medical, 20 days off a month and full pension. Would you be for those professional pilots or would you still insist they get a contract? Seriously, I'm curious.

Can an in-house pilot group not bargain for the pilots? Could a strong advisory committee not persuade management to sign a contract with the pilots? I thought that was what those groups were trying to accomplish at Flex and Avantair? An agreement signed by both parties is generally called a contract. If a PAC or a CAB can get the company to sign an agreement they deserve credit for doing so. I recognize that strong leaders backed by the majority of their pilots can make a difference. I know there are groups trying and I wish them success.

Glass, it seems to me that their wages and work rules are much more secure when the company is willing to put it all in writing and sign their name to it. That represents a commitment to their pilots whose skills and experience are helping to build the business. The only reason not to sign it is so that they can change things at anytime. What other reason would there be? Seriously, I can't think of one. Regards, NJW
