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
recently someone "reported" that a both a small number and a low percentage authorized the strike vote--- Of course this was completely incorrect and inaccurate-- ( maybe mgmt posted this) it only adds cohesion to an already ****ed off pilot group.
Anyway , just wanted to get the FACTS out.
SKIPPY--- honest and the straight shooter
