United Strike Vote

[dicko]

I dunno who Ferg is but my strike vote is a giant no. I do not want to strike that is simply how I feel. I will honor the picket line becaue of peer pressure not because of my beliefs.

It's a strange new world with strange new terminology. On this date, the 'iScab' is created.

Wow Newman what rock did you crawl out from under? Some of us know who you are and better yet know your past. Fully expect you to hop scotch past any future picket line. For god sakes stop posting and get to VJM for that redeye NOW!

And yes guys he does legit work for CAL. The scabs that interviewed him must have been in awe of such raw BOHICA talent...

 

[NavinRJohnson]

Flamebait. Just blow him off...

 

[Speedtape]

Isn't a strike vote right out of the ALPA playbook?

What's the difference between whipsawing between mainline and regional and whipsawing between mainline pilots on 70-90 seaters and "real" mainline pilots? While bringing the small jets in house inflates the mainline pilot roster, there's not much evidence that it helps lift total mainline pilot compensation. In fact it puts downward pressure on pay rates for the narrowbody fleets. Plus there will be a cost to bring small jets to the mainline, and who is willing to pay that cost?

Holy crap, HelloNewWoman is back! I was wondering where this flamebaiting loser had been for five years. If anyone is wondering, just go back to look at his old posts. He was one of the quintessential SkyWest anti-union wannabe scabs. It seems five years at a union carrier hasn't taught him anything yet.

Yes I will admit I was a bit brash 5 years ago. After much reflection yes some of my posts were flamebait but those days are over. I simply disagree with using a strike as a tool. Again I will never cross a picket line, if that is what the majority wants and we actually get a release I won't work one single flight until the strike is resolved. Going on strike is part of "the game" and I have already saved enough to prepare should that happen. That being said it is a waste of time and we need to be realistic on scope. Delta is very successful with 76 seat scope and we can be too WITH CERTAIN PROTECTIONS. We need to cap it and if they park any of our airplanes then we need to flow back to captain jobs at the regionals or they need to park the 76 seaters as well.

On a side note you bet I will pick up open time if offered, after all I need to pad the bank account on the very slim chance we do get released

I don't know who you are but it's easy to talk crap on a forum. I dare you to meet in the IAH crew room and spew this nonsense there. I guarantee your gonna here it from the rest of us. So just continue to hide behind your keyboard.
And you better believe I'm voting for a strike.:angryfire

Go ahead and vote for it. I will vote no and in all honesty the chance of being released is very slim. You think Mr Obama wants to trash the economy with it being so fragile? I don't think so. I will not talk like that in the crew lounge out loud of course not. I know how to keep it real. As has been stated before people know who I am and what I stand for. If we do get released I already have money saved so I will be fine. I am tired of being told how to vote and how to live my life. I do not like ALPA and I do not like the concept of strikes. That being said I will respect the majority should a strike(extremely unlikely thank goodness) actually come to fruition. Quit trying to intimidate me, it does not work.

 

[HelloNewman]

Oh and PCL what do I need to be taught? I went to college and learned to think for myself. Maybe I am in the minority but I have rejected the union mentality and I am not ashamed of it at all.

I have had a good dose of logic. The dollar is WEAK. This so called recovery is pretty much a farce.

I agree, which is why you should be in favor of anything that prevents you from getting furloughed when the downsizing comes.

You should change your name to "the scab who hasn't scabed yet"

I will not scab under any conditions. I have saved up 2 years pay already so again a strike does not scare me I simply do not believe in the union talk. In case you haven't read my previous posts I will not cross a picket line as I have saved up enough money. I will not walk in circles with silly signs but I also will not be a scab so you can stop being so excited about runing my career. I have already cleared probation and I am still thriving

I just enjoy giving you $hit because you set yourself up for it.
