I guess all the union cheerleaders aren't going to state the fact that the union turned down the VSP and wouldn't allow its pilots to take part in it. If they would have allowed it, then that would have lowered the furloughs or eliminated the need to furlough altogether depending on the number of pilots who took it. Over 40 pilots on the Flexjet side took it.

All of this is in writing and can be confirmed. Not Hyperbole!!!!

Since management has refused to meet with the pilots and negotiate ANYTHING, they never intended to negotiate this. If our pilot representatives had said yes, management would have immediately come back with a different proposal and demanded that be accepted. Management would have done this until the pilots said no, then tried to blame the union and furloughed anyway. Why? Because that is the mentality of these scumbags.

Ken Ricci comes out and offers VSP to the FLOPS side anyways.
Says he expects legal action from the Union for this.
The furloughed guys are offered this as well. Question remains, if 50 senior gents take the VSP, will the furloughs be called back?
