I didn't get a payraise!

In my experience, that's how most people are. Most people ARE hard working, well intentioned, and care. Most firms are full of such people.
You mentioned that pay, healthcare, and retirement are questionable.
I'm just curious, what makes a company "a great company to work for" in your opinion?

AL

I hope your former collegues find employment soon.

To what do you attribute their layoffs?

AL

I'm not going to go down this road with you. It's obvious by the pcrb that our pay is low and that our benefits are not sufficient. If you are interested having representation then vote if not then don't. Remember though, its our future nobody else's.

I know that I am worth much more than what I am currently compensated at. Just curious, are you in management at JB or do you actually fly for JB??

Flight Options Layoff???
 

Hey Learflyer,

Flight Options laid off today?!?:( This isn't the same group of 70 hostages is it? Please clue us in. Thanks!

In Unity,

PS- I almost forgot, Congratulations to the JBPA! I would take ANY union over being an at-will employee any day. And you can work with ALPA to get their same excellent medical and legal package...

Please inform me what I'm "missing out with" by not being with ALPA? Almost Possibly Probably Anyway didn't do crap for me at my 2 previous carriers...other than take 1.9% of my pay so the MECs could meet in Herndon and have steak & red wine. All the while the National Officers were raking in 300k+ I've just gotta know? What a once great, proud UNION down the toilet now RJ union...sad, very sad. What did I miss???

No, it was the bottom 104 on the list. Definetaly economic considerations this time and no games.

Herk,

Apparently I've given you the wrong impression.

I've seen great things achieved by unions and I've seen things get as ugly as they could get short of a chapter 7 filing.

I hear arguments all the time based on what ALPA did in the past. It's all irrelevant!

A union is only as good as its union!

As with any organization comprised of enthusiastic, educated individuals, anything is possible. Communication is one of the most important elements of any organization. Lack of effective communication is also a major weakness in most organizations including pilot groups! Unions certainly facilitate communication.

Shiny new equipment and nice people alone don't make a company great to work for. You can find that anywhere. Only $$$ will support my family and pay my bills!

It's all about the package!

AL

What was your problem with the union again?



AL

When the economy is bad, a union won't do $hit.
