What part of G4 pilots don’t have a contract, do you not get? Teamsters, and any union via the RLA has little to no recourse at this point. How is G4 management taking advantage of this situation; working out for us is the real problem. You seem to be taking pop-shots at us, just beating some drum about your personal vendetta about the teamsters. At this point nobody here cares about which union is better. We don’t have a contract.
The reasons for having the Teamsters here has been hashed out long ago. Right now our focus is on getting our first contract. In case you missed that; G4 pilots do not have a contract. There are some good reasons why the teamsters happen to be our bargaining agent at this point. That could change, but right now that’s not our focus.
