49 votes, or about the amount of new hires they promised out of seniority upgrades. If 49 had voted for representation, we would have been deadlocked. So closer than you think at first glance.

Anyone want to prognosticate who is the first one (are the first ones) terminated? As a bonus, call the time when the purge starts! I'll start: original Flex organizing committee members and eboard members. It will start before the weekend.

Route 66 is union hater, scab wannabe not a FlexJet pilot thus his gross ignorance.

Flytolive is a liberal left wing antifa scumbag who doesn’t believe pilots can make intelligent decisions for themselves. Flytolive has to call people names, threaten people with violence, has a low IQ and his only repartee is to demean anyone who doesn’t march to his low standards of Aviation. He and those like him are the reasons 1108 lost. Think about it. It’s happening at the major airlines too.

Pay NO attention to the “Flytolive” behind the curtain.

There. Doesn’t that kind of diatribe make you “pro-union”liberals feel better and accomplished now? As your titanic is sinking around you dont you think it’s time to think that maybe you’re looking at the way labor is doing business is DOING IT WRONG or are new and better ways available to accomplish our professions goals?

I just don’t believe pilots will gain. History repeats itself with us, we always attack and demean others instead of trying to fix what’s wrong. Sounds like the democrat party.

Like flex jet fine good for you. Hate flex jet fine good for you. Quit (if you work there) everyone wins. Want to work there you will have better QOL flying single pilot freight. Just saying. Same thing can be said of regional pilots as well.

Let’s be clear, I do not believe that a career F/O is anyone’s aspiration and will be where attrition for any carrier less than a legacy will retain pilots. From my discussion with many of the pilots who voted against 1108 it was the loss of the LOS that was stripped from the, because of the arbitration. I’m not surprised at this. And here Again is the reason unions are losing their grips. Cross-group unity is sparce at best. Look, Ricci probably isn’t going to pay major salaries, there is no surprise. But you will see improvements over the year or then you can expect a union push next year. Even the airline union model here at the legacy American is weak because of poor contract language. Give the LEC rep here in Charlotte a call and ask hi, how bad the scheduling (rescheduling) provisions are over here. The Dallas LEC and Dallas President runs the show.

Thank you for saying in a short statement what I sometimes take twice as long to say.

I don’t have NJ salaries available but if Ricci wants pilots, like everyone else (including American) they will be paying competitive salaries or he won’t get pilots. Look, this supply and demand situation has the potential to play out well for the profession if labor could start thinking outside the box and be willing to be more inclusive across Company platforms. They call those things SOPs.

Airline pilot compensation has doubled in the last five years and you characterize it as the Titanic sinking. Who is that guy talking to himself? Route66.

Does Flex have 12 year FOs? NOPE
