Colgan Pilots Don't Pick Up Open Time!!!
 

To all Colgan Pilots, please don't pick up open time without draft pay. Why should you help out the company and not get paid for it when they make you sit at an airport all day with a broke aircraft and they don't pay you for that anymore. Don't make excuses and say "it fits in my schedule, I don't mind helping out the company." Make them pay you the draft pay, Colgan did this to themselves by not hiring, or upgrading for the last year. And with the flu going around let them either pay us or cancel flights. Don't pick up open time without getting the draft pay, tell everyone else!

I suggest you delete this thread ASAP. If you don't know why I suggest you do some research.............

MODS. Please delete this thread

Why can't a private citizen make a comment in a public forum. Does he not have freedom of speech and expression? He is not slandering or threatening anyone nor making false accusations. I also assume he is not an elected official of the MEC (I can see that being wrong) so his opinion is nothing more than his viewpoint on a matter (which he has the right to have).

Because you are condoning illegal job action in an open forum that can be traced back to you.

Thank you................................

I could see freedom of speech being used to defend this post. But sadly it would probably go to court and probably fail. Freedom of speech is dieing and it is our job as citizens to protect it.

Mod note:

The best course of action if one would like to report a TOS violation, is to use the report a post feature. It's the red triangle in the lower left hand corner of your screen. That will start a thread at the admin section for all the mods to see and take action, if necessary.

There is nothing illegal about NOT picking up open time..

If he's not a union official, it's not illegal for him to be saying anything like this. How do you think grassroots campaigns get started?

Best of luck to the OP.

Actually, it is. See UAL if you don't believe me.

This is a publicly viewed and available forum, NOT grassroots. Please do us all a favor and keep this stuff off the internet / email / text messages. Grassroots means IN-PERSON, discussions like this one belong in the crewrooms and cockpits.
