Vacation No Float
 

Disgusting. And you wonder why we can't get a good contract. Ole Sliceback floated 24 days. Nice job clown!

Sad. Very sad. And we wonder why we can’t get an industry leading contract when OUR OWN LINE PILOTS can’t even follow a simple union request to build unity and leverage.

To those who floated.... I don’t know how you can look yourselves in the mirror when your FELLOW UNION MEMBERS are sacrificing LOTS OF $$$ to promote unity and leverage... while you suck it all up at our expense.

Disgusting and shameful. NO excuses.

I'd prefer, in the next contract, no vacation floating allowed but allow the ability to pick up over vacation. Right now if you get awarded a crappy vacation week (ie winter) like pretty much half the company gets, it's useless. For those with kids they can't go anywhere (school) and end up sitting at home under a blanket hoping it doesn't snow.

I recently flew with a no floater and he had some pretty good points. I won't judge either way.

You should judge either way. The union asked us not to float.

And how many of the leaders or former leaders didn't? Hoenstly I've lost interest. Clearly many don't follow directives, instead of lashing out and blaming floaters they need to understand why people are doing it.

Exactly! Looks like the senior demographic floated more than the junior side. God help us if they increase the retirement age. Lots of dead weight in the top half of the seniority list.

That's why I'd expect a contract rather quickly... Get a yes vote from the ladder pullers before the new guys take over.

Dude. BS.

Your union asked you NOT TO FLOAT.

There is no gray area here. Either you’re a unionist. Or you’re a self serving individualist.

There is no excuse to float when your union has asked you not to, in the interest of creating leverage... especially during Section 6.

The principle in not crossing a picket line is pretty much the same.

Wow. Management is so proud of you.

So your excuse to float is based on the fact that others don’t follow the directives? Great union ethics dude.

AGAIN Slice???
