What is with the arrogance/hubris around this place? It wasn't that long ago that the entire profession was in the gutter. Union or not, it is unreal the disdain some show toward others.

Rant over.

Hey, you guys have better rates than those of us at Spirit and we are represented by the mighty ALPA!! We don't even get overtime here!

 

[NEDude]

I am thinking the new pay rates and the carrot being dangled just a bit further may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. An organizing campaign is gathering steam quickly and in just a day and a half over 100 of the 600 pilots on property have committed to supporting a national union organizing campaign. It looks like the ALPA is the favorite to be the one, but Teamsters and the TWU are also being considered. The latter is on record as wanting to add pilots into their mix of flight attendants, mechanics and dispatchers. We will see how this moves forward, but in just a few days the ball has really gotten rolling.

Look at the negotiating environments............

mmmmmmmmmmm.......that blue juice sure is tasty.

Why don't you tell us about your health insurance? On second thought, you might want to keep that to yourself.

Every pilot group is trying to make improvements to their pay/QOL, and this is a step in the right direction for VX pilots.

Look at the negotiating environments............

I bet every VX guy would trade their 'agreement' for our CBA. You can't reason with many of those 26%er fools. Either way, good on VX for moving in the right direction.

That should make the B6/VX merger a bit easier with 2 ALPA carriers

Just like USAirways/America West, or Republic/Northwest. Those went well.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

There will be no mergers with VX. Anyone looking to buy us just wants to kill the brand and maybe get the airframes. I am happy we are a private company with (so far) patient owners. Don't expect anything more and you won't be disappointed.

 

[snap145]

I stand corrected....my apologies B6 drivers...its certainly a step in the right direction for VX guys though...dont personally know anything about theyre soft money or premium pay...arent the B6 rates included with a loss of premium...not saying its better or worse just comparing!

In the news today: virgin is shopping various banks for their ipo later this year.

Majority of pilots are sick and tired of the carrot. I expect ALPA on property in less than a year. Guys are done waiting. Time to open those wallets or risk losing a lot of guys in the next year or two.
