NO ONE from the union has said that this was passed long in either a letter or an e-mail. These are both assumptions made by posters on this board.

There are many, many ways that the company could have asserted that mainline partners not hire RJET pilots. I suspect that an e-mail or letter would have been the last method by which they would have done so, as either is easily discovered as evidence.

The union has said that RJET has or is encouraging mainline airlines to not hire RJET pilots. RJET sent a letter to the union threatening to sue if they didn't stop spreading "unfounded accusations" and the union's lawyer told the company, in legal terms, to "pound sand."

The union is pretty confident that this happened. So confident, in fact, that when the company threatened to sue, the union essentially said, "Go right ahead."

I believe the union leadership.

 

Has any body seen the two page Teamsters ad in AOPA Pilot magazine this month? This might be floating around other magazines as well.

 

I haven't seen it but I'm pretty sure I can guess what's in it. Teamsters has been running ads like this in newspapers and magazines for years. You can see how effective it's been. I realize that their hands are largely tied by the RLA, but it sure seams like they're all bark and no bite.

 

...about six months, actually.

Very. RJET is now largely considered the "plan B" for most prospective applicants and HR is doing backflips trying to get pilots through the front door.

If you've a better suggestion, let's hear it!

 

My 5 years at RAH were without a doubt the most miserable time in my life. Good riddance!

 

Tell us how you really feel.

 

[QUOTE=sqwkvfr;1505029]...about six months, actually.

Actually, he's correct. I saw them post a magazine ad back in 2006 as I prepared to go to the regionals and again in 2008. Can't remember much about them, but they have been doing it for many years, both ALPA and Teamsters.

 

Saw it in Flying magazine too, I wished they kept the paint jobs on the planes so everyone could see what kind of airline United/UsAirways/American etc. W hored their flying out too.

 

I don't have my AOPA magazine with me right now, but I believe the Teamsters did name names; i.e., American, United, Delta.

 

It certainly isn't out of the question to use the word "miserable" when describing life at RJET.
