Evergreen
 

Any Evergreen guys in here ? Whats going on with you folks ?

They did some hiring this summer but the last 100 will be parked in December. Some PFE's will get furloughed and perhaps FOs unless 400 training picks up. Next 400 is scheduled next summer but they are hinting one or two may show up early 2009. Labor unrest is growing, informational picketing has started. Billboard truck was driving around the cargo facts conference the last couple of days and picketing is planned at JFK Oct 27th. Come and join the fun!

Why don't all the ACMI guys just form a single union? Maybe then we can get some attention!:confused: Just a thought! Not ALPA, not Teamsters, but a group that just caters to the ACMI guys. Just a thought. Any comments?

Osps! Guess I should have started a new thread.:eek:

Its a good idea. I just wonder how many would sign onto something like this in order to make it workable?

we are here
 

theres a few of us that check on here. Mostly keep quite and watch though.

They are aggressively bidding several contracts (including pax work) but nothing encouraging yet. Labor unrest growing.
