captain152- already did... sorry it just sickens me that a company who painted such a rosy picture at the interview runs operations like this. It was my first regional interview though FWIW...

Everyone preaches unity and unions, or just claims to all be in this same industry together but we are all just knocking each other down. No, I don't have a solution to recommend- but look at the BIG picture industry wise. A single mgmt group reinventing the wheel can quickly become the "Status quo" which helps nobody. Look at reduced rest, look at low pay rates, look at PBS. These are now "lessons" but unity (throughout the industry, not doing a union ad here) can keep things in our court. This is BS for those at 9L.
That being said- VOTE ALPA. (had to put it in somewhere!) |
Colgan guys will be opening up an ALPA Vote real soon here, at least they are trying to improve things.

I know we r going to have a apla vote but what about teamsters. Someone told me that they had enough cards but I havnt heard about a vote

Yeah, same here, I'm a relatively senior FO with the time requirements. When I called to ask about upgrades, they STRESSED that it's based on seniority. yeah, that's fine and I'm totally for that. seriously, who are they trying to BS?

When there is a vote, you can vote for whoever you want. Even though ALPA intitiated the vote, it doesn't mean that you are restricted to voting for ALPA alone. As long as over 50% of pilots PARTICIPATE in the vote (i.e. vote yes for a union), then whatever union gets the majority of those that participated wins.

The only thing you will gain is turboprop PIC (which, IMO, will not get you far). Get hired at a larger regional. Second year FO pay is better than what you will make as a captain! Then upgrade, get jet PIC and go from there!
