Virgin America petitions NMB

[NEDude]

Surprised this has not been posted yet. A group called VAPA has collected enough cards and has petitioned the NMB for a union vote.

 

[Dizel8]

Well done!

 

[Fins Up]

I can't find anything about it. Got a link?

 

[Tomct]

Yep, hopefully VAPA will be on property in the next few months! Nice job guys/gals.

The union side is behind protected site at vapilot dot org.

The company side is: http://www.vxpilots.com/

So far nothing back from the NMB yet on if & when a vote is to be held, but the cards were submitted.

 

[PCL_128]

Well done, gentlemen.

They are smarter than us at B6 apparently.

What? B6 pilots reached the exact same milestone.

What's the point of putting that picture?

What's the point of putting that picture?

Pilots are lazy and I thought I'd save everyone a point and click.

This guy seems to be 'doing his homework".

Does anyone really think Mark or a 3rd party is writing for Mark.

Seems dishonest if Mark is allowing his image to be used while some other group is providing the script.

Oh well he is your stooge and each pilot group has pilots that fight against pilots while hiding that THEY are getting help (scripts) from 3rd party PR company's talent.

I'm sure this stooge is hard at work doing his homework but is really sitting next to his computer waiting for "you have mail" so he can post the text as if he wrote it

Blah......... My bad. Was thinking that it was voted in.

They are possibly about to be smarter than us at B6.

Just wait until the scary shark postcards start arriving in your mailbox. Trust us guys, it's coming. The same PR firm that helped bust our drive (and win their version of a Peabody award for it) are about to go to battle with you. Mark must be dating someone from their office. If you'd like to see the 20-somethings you're up against, here you go...enjoy:

Mark is forwarding a similar PR firms scripts as if they are his own words.

Isnt that a third party telling Mark what to do and say?

I see company hacks....

They're everywhere....

They upgrade in 1 year....then tell you how you don't need a CBA....

They are on their wife's/government health insurance/retirement...then tell you union dues are for suckers...

They get appointed to your pilot committees....then become project pilots




They're everywhere.....

 

[xjt40]

Mark is a self centered doushe working little side deals with management just like the BOBS at Jetblue ! Guys best of luck dont let losers like Mark drag you down and Lie to you! Guys like him have hurt our pilot group and caused us years of lower pay, crappy benefits and 401k. Bargain for what you deserve. The direct relationship is a scam! Good luck!

You probably should not tell your AME you are paranoid schizophrenic...it will not be good for your career. We will just keep that between us girls here on FI, that will keep you safe from the hacks.

Be careful out there.

Once you repeat the mistakes of the other pilot groups which have voted in unioins, you can also circle the drain while they skim 2% off your ever reducing wages.

Pilots Stupidity - Repeating the same stupid mistakes and expecting different outcomes.

Right. Those dumb pilots at Delta, FedEx, UPS and SWA are so much worse off.:erm:

There are guys like him in every company. Stay focused. Here is a sample of what you can expect from the likes of him. This is/was a website to promote an "alternative" to a national union that was in know way sponsored by the company...

Work at JetBlue a few years....

Trust me.....they're everywhere.

I sense a new internet sensational meme in the works... Best of luck to the folks at VA fighting against the propaganda machine of F&H and MWW.

 

[jayme]

Comedy gold!

 

[slavenaway]

What can you guys come up with for this guy?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Anybody wonder why they might have a hard time taking pilots very seriously?

Snack memos, uniforms, celeb sightings, and internet memes. I don't.

VAPA...give me a break. A bunch of crusaders doing a 50 yard dash in a 40 yard hangar.

You might take a hint from the Jetblue Pilot Group as to why the Union thing here has failed not once, but twice. It started with the personal attacks and lies from a very small group of very vocal pilots. It started just like these past few posts and if you keep up your senseless attacks, your outcome will be the same...

Shouldn't you be in the cheering section for the whole non-union/direct relationship thing - as your past posts have more than suggested.

With any luck, you are correct. Angry insults of a well respected pilot will convince the reasonable majority that this is an attempt to hijack the pilot group to fulfill a pesrsonal agenda. This despite claims to taking up this cause in furtherance of unity.

I would not follow this cause into a cross walk....let alone a misguided attempt at "negotiating" improvements to the working relationship with management.

And the idea that a pilot should pay for the privilege of being misrepresented by fear mongering and empty promises of pay raises and IPO payouts...absurd.
