Low (ridiculous low pay), long days, min days off, no toilets, not even drinking water and poor treatment are a few of the things they deal with day in and day out. I please ask of all fellow professional pilots to support our brothers at ajt. Amerijet not only threatens the well being of its crews but the entire industry, as they are very close to starting B767 operations and expansion into new markets worldwide, all this believe it or not under the same conditions as the B727 same pay ohhh yeah not counting the 10% pay cut they recently imposed and all the other crap. So again please support our fellow aviators in any way possible and lets all remember the names of those scabs that will cross the line! Remember!!! Once a scab always a scab don't let those same idiots screw you like they've done for the rest of the good honest professional Amerijet pilots!
If this strike occurs the IBT local needs to communicate to other unions how financial contributions can be made to mitigate the pain during the strike. Sent checks to the Comair pilots , will contribute to Amerijet pilots.
Good luck
