Only went back a few pages. Can someone explain what red label is?

Special crews stuck together on the same plane?

Red Label is a marketing program that lists specific crews to specific tail numbers.
A current or future share owner can buy into the normal fractional ownership plan or into Red Label. Flex has seen a massive surge of new owners into the Red Label program since it started.

Needless to say, the union doesn't like it and wants it dissolved.

Funny how you left out the part about how Red Label crews are grossly overpaid for flying the same aircraft as their peers, how they routinely DON'T fly their assigned tails, and get bags of money thrown at them in the name of bonuses while the rest of us barely get bonuses worth a days pay. And most importantly, how it's a scheme to pit pro and anti union guys against each other in an effort to decertify the Union. Didn't you notice how they immediately shut down Yammer when the union leadership guys started taking it to RH and his minions? They don't like being exposed for the frauds that they are.

I didn't leave out any of your details. The post asked what Red Label is. I explained it as it is.
As for your comments, I can't speak for the Red Label Challengers Legacys and Lears, but the Global's aren't making wads of cash as you say. They are paid average at best for a Global PIC and the bonuses have been scarce since 90 and 91 have spent more time in MX than flying.
As for Yammer, the company could grow thicker skin, but the pilots should also find a non company source to whine and complain.
The company doesn't like the union idea and neither do half or more of the pilots......but I find it hard to see how Ken could create a marketing sales "gimmick" to wamfoozle the union and also make wads of cash and sales.

The majors are hiring if you want out!

Your response was fine right up to the shot at the union. As far as Yammer goes, if it was strictly for the company to use as a company information forum, then they should've never picked a fight on there with the Union by posting blatant falsehoods and half truths. I'm glad they decided to fight back and when they did, the company shut the entire site down. Btw, how's the replacement forum coming that they promised would replace it? You see, in Ricci's kingdom, there is no free speech or dissenting.

It wasn't a "shot" at the union. It was truth, the union has demanded the Red Label program be dissolved.
The replacement forum is right around the preverbial corner.
Remember that your free to leave at any time when a job is no longer for you. Vote with your feet!

On a side note, what is the unions position on brand partners flying and outside charter? Serious question

I take exception with your use of the word "overpaid".

NO SUCH THING.

Actually, I've asked every person I've flown on red label airplanes for the last six months (more than half my rotations have been on red label airplanes): "How do you like red label?" The answer from every single one has been: "What is red label?" So your first statement is dubious at best. As for the dissolution of the program, we simply want all pilots to be under the same bid system and pay system. Management seeks segregation, we seek equality. On the pay side, red label is not overpaid. Rather underpaid in comparison to our peers. We seek to at least be paid equally to red label in this arbitration because we all work at least as hard as red label pilots. Do you object to pay parity for all of us? Do you really believe the red label pilots work harder? B------t!

Like Dutch says below, the Union just wants equal pay for the same work. And why should I, or others, leave just because I don't like Red Label. The Union is here to stay so maybe you should leave? The "free to leave at any time" argument is an old one warrants no merit.

The Flight Options contract allows for X amount of outside charter and the amount may vary based on current furloughs and other variables that I'm not privy to at the moment. But as a basic answer to your question, there is language that allows for charter while protecting the jobs of the pilots of the planes that the owners signed up to fly on in the first place. This is called scope protection. It's odd that you ask such a question as a Flexjet or Flight Options pilot. If you work for either of these companies, wouldn't you want as much flying as possible kept under the DAC umbrella? Or do you work for a company outside of DAC?
