There has been very little Union Communication on this other than you guys were released and went on strike yesterday.

APC, in my opinion, is not where Pilots should be hearing of a Pilot Strike.

That being said, I am behind AmeriJet Pilots efforts to negotiate a fair an equitable contract. Godspeed to all of you! You certainly have my support.

Yes the IBT has contacted other unions they've done a good job so far, that has been of great help. From what I hear yesterday Amerijet tried to use another carrier to move their freight and their pilots refused.

May AJT pilots succeed where other crews have failed.

Incredible to me that they have apparently had a crew fly today. It never ceases to amaze me the willingness some people have to volunteer to be a scab. I hope the IBT is taking names.

Do you have evidence or reason to believe that it was not a management crew at the controls?

Not to incite too much emotion, but would you consider Managment flying during a strike to be strike breaking activity ? I have seen it approached both ways by Unions.

so far 11 scabs, they were received by a very enthusiastic group of AJT pilots on strike when they got to customs at KMIA. Others were confronted as they parked their cars at what they tought was a secret location. The rest boarded a chattered learjet at signature aviation KMIA to pick up a stranded aircraft. Names are being taken and will be available for all to see very soonnnnnn.

At least for me, any single person crossing the line is a scab, mgmt. or not. I haven't heard if the crew flying today is mgmt but in my eyes you fly struck cargo you're a scab, period. JMO

Bingo!!! Just curious if the band of brothers at AJT banded in total together.
