you need to pay more attention. It is obvious from the posts now on rp.org that people have been threaten as the "I have never condoned" threads are popping up by multiple people (SG, ZH etc etc) to distance themselves. They are taking names and the teamsters WILL TERMINATE anyone for TREASON that tries to overthrow them or even have the Government re-manned by someone other then the oh-so-great Gene and Tiff. Dont believe me? I can line you up with the numbers of those that will not publically denounce the Teamsters because they have been very clearly warned that even a word about it will cost them their job. Even the "informations posts" (you know the ones..."i will not condon this and will have nothing to do with it, I'm out...but if you do: this is where I would look/how I would start") are very much in fear of a lost job and have retracted even these posts to save themselves.

The Teamsters are wrong. They have poorly represtented the RJet pilots allowing more furloughs then needed without any pressusre on the company to save jobs, poor contract language resulting in abuse and loop-holes for every greivence, the unlawful and non-represtatation of an entire crew termination based on the word of a hotel house cleaner (but not until after the company allowed them to finish the trip...) and much more. My money, my votes and my confidence are lost with Teamsters.

As a point to show how much they care only about their money: all the pilots being furloughed, all first years on probation, the teamsters have sent out a bill to for the FULL AMOUNT of intial fees and any back dues owed before they lose their jobs and cant take them out of their paychecks anymore. Nice.
