I don't believe they voted to actually strike. They just took a vote to authorize a strike should the time come later down the line.

 

uhhhhhhhhhh

 

Like I said I don't think it was as strike vote but a vote to give the union the ability to strike should it come down to it.

Aviation Today :: ALPA's Northwest Airlink and Delta Connection PCL Pilots Vote Overwhelmingly to Authorize Strike

 

this strike vote means nothing. pinnacle had a 99% strike vote and we are still here, not able to strike, and waiting on a contract. get in line.

 

Didn't the MEC tell those who didn't want it not to vote at all, rather than voting NO?

 

Easy, killer....

 

What would it take to be released for self help? I like the percentage but I sincerely doubt Huals cares about these results. Probably not a surprise for him.

 

to all the waterski brothers and sisters-- i salute those who voted for a strike-- it is a step in the right direction, and those wussies that didnt, benefit from the people who hold the line and for that you are total cowards.


SKIPPY- just calling it like i see it

Congrats





Fellow Pilots,

I know many of you are anxious to know the result of the Strike Authorization Ballot which concluded today. The results were
independently certified and of the eligible Trans States pilots who responded to the strike authorization ballot, nearly 96% authorized
the Trans States MEC to call for a lawful withdrawal of services. An overwhelming majority of pilots have voiced their support for
the negotiating committee and their objective to obtain a fair and equitable contract that meets the expectations of this pilot group.
It also demonstrates to management clearly and loudly our unity and resolve to conclude these negotiations one way or another.

Now more than ever we must remain vigilant in our focus, unwavering in our resolve, knowledgeable about the mediation process, and
informed about our contract negotiations. It is important to remember we have not exhausted all phases of Section 6 negotiations
and a release to self-help has not been granted. However, this vote goes a long way in showing our solidarity in achieving improvements
to our contract that are both deserved and long overdue

 

Good Luck Water Skiers!

Good luck guys and gals. I hope this picks up some steam and gets someone's attention (cough media/public etc cough) for the better. Maybe, just maybe between all the news and public attention lately and now this, things will start to shift in a different direction. Pipe dream maybe but it's nice to be optimistic.
