Did TPG try to sell Travel Management too? I can’t find any mention of it.

The Teamsters dropped them today. I’d say those guys are in for a rough ride.

Some of us sleep well at night knowing we disrupted the lives of a subpar management group. Those people aren’t in their positions anymore, so mission accomplished.

Unhappy Define "dropped them"

Hey Magnum,


Can you define "dropped them"? Does that mean decertified? I wasn't aware that a group could be "dropped".


I guess the progress that the pilot group did make will be returned to the FAR 134 1/2 days of old with rolling clock, ect.


Well, they fought a good fight

Regardless of the motivations it will still go down as a failure and an embarrassment in the Teamster National Library.

I would imagine a lot of peoples hard earned dues got paid over the last few years waiting on the contract that was promised and all for nothing, but hey you showed them!

I'm sure all of the pilots who paid dues all of those years and were promised a contract are thrilled.....

They had a card drive led by a Cal83 scab to decertify the union, and collected enough cards for a vote. At this point, the Teamsters elected to withdraw their support of the TMC pilots due to their general attitude towards the 1108, and unwillingness to act as a group. In general, they said the TMC pilots are a bunch of scumbags, and they’re on their own.

Last month, I had two days of reserve and one five day trip (as a first officer) at my 121 airline. The month payed three times what I made as a five year captain at TMC. The benefits are far superior as well, and none of that would exist without union representation.

Thanks to my union, I no longer have to worry about my ability to pay bills should I lose my medical. Thanks to my union, my annual minimum retirement check will be 2 times (or more) what I made annually at TMC. Thanks to my union, I don’t have to worry about being terminated after FMLA expires. Thanks to my union, the list of examples goes on and on.

For the young pilots of Travel Management that didn’t know any better, I am saddened by what a few seniors have been able to convince you to do. Hopefully you’ll soon realize the error of their ways, and get out before it’s too late.
