How? I enjoy going to work that's how. For the most part the people we work with are hard working, well intentioned and seem to care. However, things like healthcare and retirement should be much better.
You couldn't possibly agree that our healthcare and retirement are sufficient? I you have a family you are paying a lot of money to have them covered. This is not acceptable, plain and simple.
Sorry if you missed the point.

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?

My former colleagues Flight Options just laid off a bunch today. They've been in a union fight for 4 years (one that I voted for). Good luck pickin' that pepper out of the fly $hit!To what do you attribute their layoffs?

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.

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!

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...

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!
