Would NetJets Strike If...?

[Lone Star 31a]

You must have balls of stone, the majority of fractionals have halted work, picket lines everywhere, don't you think you will be remebered? Ask the Eastern scabs how well things worked out for them, and yes I know that scab only applies to Union members crossing lines, but I'm glad you have no interest in any Union shop, it just makes things easier.
We certainly couldn't hurt you at your current place of employment, hope it meets your long term goals in life. I know NJA meets mine.

I am well aware that there isn't a threat of a strike at this time. I'd have to live under stone to be ignorant of that. I am referring to a very real senerio that may happen in the future.

Ok. I'll just go back to my bong and take a long drag now.

A simple observation here:

All of you are blurring the lines between part 121 Air Carriers and your local Kroger Food Stores.

Fractional Aircraft Ownership companies are not only a new ball field for management/pilots, but also for the Government. Just because frac pilots are union doesnt mean "labor issues" are going to handled the same as they are in the airlines... by the unions, the managements or the NMB.

All of this is uncharted waters folks. And you'll just have to wait and see.

FRAC PILOT PRO's:

small number of companies in the business, limited availability... thus a strike could do real damage.

MANAGEMENT PRO's:

99.9% of owners are die hard business people (and or Republicans) who in the long run dont care about pilots, much less the unions that represent them.

Very true, Wolf Pack.

Also Bogart, your question is BS for one simple reason. The only pilots that are a part of 1108 are the NJA pilots. So until the time that another group of pilots joins 1108, it is a question that is moot. But it did get the response you wanted and that was to stir up some shi!. Congrats, loser.

NetJets would let them on their own to fend for themselves. A bunch of union blow hards you are with no spine to stick with your union brothers and sisters. Go back to the 70's and the teamsters and see how Hoffa handled them.

Ok, smart guy. No spine, huh. Well I think you need to thank a teamster pilot the next time you see one. Why, because you are spending the raise that OUR CONTRACT GOT YOU!!!!! The reason we got the contract and you got your raise is, because we have more of a spine then you can even imagine. You are another of pilots on the is board that I thank god I don't have to share a cockpit with.

Now until the time that another pilot group joins 1108, a big IF. It is a moot point. However using your flawed logic, every time United strikes, every group that is ALPA should stike. Don't think that is allowed under the RLA.

Couldn't agree more. I hope more of the Options pilots start to see the light, and may I ad a thanks to the NJ group for thier continued support.

As far as NJ getting CS the raise, I don't think so! Our management was working on a better compensation package for our pilots, so CS could be a career and not just a job. There goal was to keep pilots on the property long term. If CS doesn't have a industry leading management team, then why doesn't all the other fractionals management just do the same and take care of there employees. Why does everyone have to fight so hard to improve there quality of life and compensation package. As, far as I know CS was the only company to truly take care of there employees. I didn't have to fight for any of it and that feels good!!

It must feel good to be able to ride on the coatails of others instead of being leaders.

I'm not a hard core union guy but anybody can see that 1108 got CS their raise. Yeah yeah we all heard that CS was "working on it" yet it didn't come out to right after ours? The company might have a good managment team but they are smart enough to know they had to react to the NJA contract.

HB is just trying to fan the flames. The question is would I participate in a sympathy strike? No I wouldn't, on my work time....... in my off time i'd support them at the pickets. You don't see United striking when American is striking. 1108 is the common union but we are seperate companies and if an owner has a share in both how am I supposed to know? I could care less. Maybe I read the threads wrong but thats the way I see it.

FRACTRASH well said what a great job to have. Not in love with the product but couldn't be happier working here.

"I didn't have to fight for any of it and that feels good!!"

No doubt it does. The 1108 did it for you. Thing is the timing of that raise calls your logic into question. Also the fact that no management not even the most magnanimous, would give a big raise like that without external motivation. Yes I think your management was wise in this instance, even brilliant perhaps. They were able to give you that raise and in the process avoid the additional cost of all of the other things contained in a contract, like the one NJ has and FLOPS soon will have.
