Commuteair/xjt merge.
JB resigned today from his ALPA position after he basically yelled, “FIRE!” in the theatre. Apparently that was a violation of his NDA with what he said. This revelation he discovered could not be withheld from his coworkers because it supposedly directly effected their lives but he never shared what the news actually was in any detail. He just said, “Horrible things are coming soon! Get your logbooks up to date!” He got everybody all worked up and ALPA asked for his resignation. He should have went ahead and spilled the beans since he was asked to resign over it.
He can’t spill the beans.He is still bound by the NDA and can probably be held personally liable for violating it.

20+ years in a rj doesn’t exactly give one much room to say what long haul flying is like. For those that don’t take care of themselves it can put some hard miles on the body. I never see those guys in the gym. Once you learn what works for you, WB flying is what you make of it. I fly productive trips, get a bunch of sleep, and I’m in pretty good shape for a older guy. My trips involve a 12 hr duty day going out, and a 14 hour day heading home with a 3-3.5 hour break in the bunks. I don’t go bar hopping with the guys, but I’m much more healthy than those who do.
Tell that to one of our FA's whose husband dropped dead of a heart attack at the age of 59 in perfect health with no family history of heart problems. He worked at Fed Ex for 24 years. Ask any Fed Ex pilot. They joke we don't live long but we make lots of money.
One more thing Jr just because someone who may have been flying an RJ for over 20 years doesn't do something else on the side. Open your Eyes.

Ok keep believing that you know more than Boston College and the University of Texas. A study was done by Fed Ex and Air Canada separately. Your body is affected by not going to sleep when your brain tells you it's sleep time. It's not just long haul flying it's night shift jobs also.

You couldn’t be further from the truth. He has never been good for the pilot group. He was/is a cancer. It started with his failed attempt with the RJDC suit, sowing the seeds of discontent between the 2 pilot groups, calling for illegal work actions and the list goes on. He is lucky to have a job at Xjet.

Yeah, he definitely comes as someone with a case of sour grape syndrome.

She is still around. And from what I've heard, the company is giving her a hard time about something, and he is all ****ed off over that.
