Once again, for everyone to ponder...
Here is the list of pilot groups that have "chosen" the IBT....
Go Jet
Gulfstream
Horizon
Republic
Omni
USA 3000
World
ABX
Amerijet
Atlas
Flight Options
Kalitta
Miami Air
I understand why the IBT likes to call themselves a "cargo pilots" union (as long as you are not Fedex or UPS).
How many Legacy Carriers does the IBT represent? NONE
How many Major Airlines does the IBT represtent? NONE
How many LCC's does the IBT represnt? NONE
If the IBT is so great, why do they not represent any of the jobs that most of us are trying to obtain?
How many legacy carriers are represented by the same union that also represents the regional they outsource to? Quite a few. 2 years ago most of us would have been more than open to an in house union. However that time has come and gone. We may be "inexperienced regional guys", but you need to know that we understand our management and their tactics more than you do.
