With all due respect to the guy that thinks 1224 sold them out. Omni pilots got the contract they deserved, because most of the pilots REFUSED to pay dues or sign up and become members. After 4-years of dealing with an inept pilot group they finally settled on a substandard contract because everyone from the pilots as well as 1224 had had enough. A union is only as strong as the pilots willing to support their union, so if you want to place blame I suggest you look within at the guys that were unwilling to become members in support of their elected union. You all know who you are!
