So is there a place to contribute to the strike fund??

Or the infamous Visine drops ...

I've heard from Flight Attendants that a few drops of Visine in a cup of coffee accelerates the digestive tract to warp speed.

I always stayed on their good side ...

A picket line is more symbolic than anything. Although it is more common with factories, coal mines etc., it has never been necessary to have one point of entrance to a workplace. What is much more important for a successful strike is solidarity...not only among the employees at the company with the labor dispute, but solidarity from other companies in the same industry,employees working for related industries and even consumers of the goods or services affected by the strike.

I partially agree with this. However, I don't think the new strategies should replace a strike. Strikes should always be an option.

PAY NO ATTENTION TO WHISTLE DAN.

The guy is an EX pilot. He has been fired twice and brought back onto the property twice with the help and resources of union representation. The axe he grinds for unions is because on his second trip around on the property, he could not pass his "final, do or die" sim ride with the feds on board and feels somehow the union is to blame.

I was all for bringing him back after the first time, even at the cost to our contract that it took. But the old saying "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me" applies here. As a past grievance case worker, I was taught that we can't pick and choose our battles, we must fight them all. In this mans case the union did, and successfully so. He has no one to blame but himself.

Aeroservice Inc., famous for their simulators and pilot seminars, has put together a crew in order to bring back an AJT aircraft from Las Piedras, Venezuela. The craft is arriving at MIA at 3:15pm. Also, two Aeroservice instructors, R.P. and W.S. both retired, has decided to become rats and crew AJT aircraft. Great PR Aeroservice. Let it also be known that the king of all scabs at AJT has been hiding his car in their parking lot. You rat N.D.

If you don't want to contribute to a strike fund here is a simple way of getting involved.

Amerijet does training at Aeroservice in Miami. This establishment has some good people but there are a bunch of Ex Eastern SCABS that work there and have operated flights for Amerijet.

Aeroservice also does job fairs where airlines like Southwest, Jetblue, Airtran, etc. used their services as a venue for to attract pilots.

The training pilots at Aeroservice have crossed the picket line for Amerijet and flown their airplanes.

Send an email to [email protected] an ex Eastern SCAB himself and director of training and let him know that you will never ever attend one of their job fairs nor will you ever get a type rating there. Also contact your union and make sure they are not involved in any job fair hosted by Aeroservice.

Keep our profession alive and strong!

Not really surprised considering some of the new blood that they have there including one person ( a silent partner of Jet U Fame ) that helped rip off 100's of pilots. My gut tells me he is involved in this big time probably making the phone calls himself, he is just the type.

How about posting names of these "heros" so we all know who they
are.

Labor Rallies to Support Amerijet Pilots and Flight Engineers.
U.S. Congressman Hastings Weighs In. Congressman Hastings Deeply Troubled by and Concerned about the Unsafe and Unsanitary Conditions Amerijet Forces on its Pilots and Flight Engineers. Amerijet Now Attempting to Out Source its Cargo Operations to a Foreign Carrier

The pilots and flight engineers of Ft. Lauderdale based Amerijet Air Cargo remain on strike in their demands for a first contract providing for fair wages, benefits, safe and sanitary working conditions. Major passenger and cargo airline pilot groups across the U.S. have joined with the 62 Amerijet flight deck crewmembers showing their support for the South Florida-based pilots, flight engineers and their families. In addition to those pilot groups from the U.S. cargo and passenger airlines who have promised not carry Amerijet freight on their aircraft, several major national trucking firms have also joined in support, including UPS, YRC and ABF. At Miami International Airport, Teamster-represented maintenance workers and cleaners are also refusing to cross the picket lines at the cargo facility on the west side of the airport.

In a desperate attempt to begin moving the backlog of hundreds of thousands pounds of perishable and time critical freight that is growing daily since this past Thursday when the airline walked out of negotiations; Amerijet’s management is now attempting to hire foreign airlines to stem the backlog of undelivered freight. The Teamsters are also fielding reports that Amerijet management has begun a campaign of threatening crewmembers if they don’t cross the picket lines.

The Amerijet pilots and flight engineers have been joined in large numbers by pilots from UPS, Atlas Air, and Kalitta; all of whom are Amerijet competitors. Additionally, the pilot unions at American, USAirways, America West, Southwest and others have joined the Amerijet pilots and flight engineers on the picket lines and are contributing their time and money in support. Other South Florida unions, as well as organized labor in the Caribbean and South America are also supporting the strikers.
