What are we thinking?

[jetwash]

We need to take a stand! We should have been given the chance to vote on the companies offer.

We are taking a stand by not being distracted from our goal of an industry standard contract.

When an acceptable one is worked out you will be able to vote on it.

I've taken my stand. I stopped paying my dues after I saw the company package and discovered the 1108 refused it. I know I may be alone on this site, but I know I'm not the only one to stop paying dues. This is not the economy to play hard ball in.

Rupert?

Aren't you Stewies Teddy Bear on Family Guy?

What a dope!

You will fit right in with the 2 MEC guys.

Flops Pilots!

Don't think for a second that the actions of your MEC members has anything to do with how we feel about you all.

We are and always been with you guys in your cause.

We know you are all upstanding professionals. The words of the union busters will not influence us.

They will come out of the woodwork now for sure.

Take care, Semore

2008 has been a rough year in aviation.

United will furlough 950 pilots.

Northwest cuts salaries by $358 million dollars.

Continental eliminates 3000 positions and cuts salaries by $300 million dollars.

AirTran issues between 5% and 13% pay cuts to its employees.

American plans to cut capacity by up to 12% and furlough pilots.

Sun Country furloughs 30% of its pilots.

Frontier files for Chapter 11.

Aloha files for Chapter 11.

Skybus closes its doors.

ATA closes its doors.


The worst is saved for last,

Flight Options offers up to 35% pay raises and the 1108 negotiators (the same guys that tried to steal money from NJA) have refused it.

What are we doing here people? We need to take a stand! We should have been given the chance to vote on the companies offer.

Ed M. Stick your head back in your dumb a$$ and shut up. One of your copilots was recounting to me this same crap you were telling him last week, almost verbatim. You were an incompetent pilot before you were anointed as a manager, and now you are a incompetent pilot again. My only hope is that you don't get someone killed with your stupidity.

You incompetent POS

35% pay raise for who??? It sure wasn't any of the FO's.

WOW... You truly are clueless. The only pilots I know that would accept a horrible offer like that are bad pilots. You guys are lucky you have job, so you will take anything. The majority of us are very good at what we do and we know what we are worth. If Flops goes out of business tomorrow a lot of us would find employment relatively soon. People like you, who probably can't pass a sim eval may have something to worry about!
