Cal Ewr Pilots
Kaye Riggs for EWR LC 170 Secretary/Treasurer
If you’ve been around at least since the Contract ’02 debacle, you may have noticed that, for some reason, we continue to give ground to management. In the labor relations circle, give and take is the accepted norm. We have stepped outside that norm in that the standard practice today is for us to give and management to take. This process must stop and must be reversed; it is time for US to take.
As Secretary/Treasurer I will help create a superior communications system with weekly (or more frequently as required) blast mails, a Code-a-Phone, and an outstanding website. Communications, education, and calls to action will be the new normal way of doing business. I believe that communications and education is the only way to reengage our pilots and give us the backing we will need to return our profession to the place of honor it rightfully held in the past.
Make no mistake, there is a big job lying ahead for all of us. The job of the union should be to lead and direct the pilots in ways that will pay dividends as we approach the amendable date of Contract ’02. Presently, we have leadership who falls back on the Partnership Accord at every turn, using this document as an excuse for inaction. This leadership must either change or get out of the way. The days of the pilots sitting back and taking what comes must end. If you want the fruits of our profession, you must make the sacrifice now.
I am proud to be running for office on the same ballot as Jayson Baron and Tara Cook. We are blessed to have such high-quality individuals step forward at this particular moment. Sometimes things come together in just the right way and at the perfect time. This is one such time. We have pilots paying attention like never before and demanding a union response to a whole host of company-created problems—everything from furloughs to the decimation of our lifestyles via PBS.
You should have recently received a blank nominating ballot. This ballot is the first step of our journey to take back our union and our profession. Please fill in the names of Jayson Baron for EWR Captain representative, Tara Cook for First Officer representative, and Kaye Riggs for Secretary/Treasurer and either return it by mail in the pre-addressed envelope or bring it in person to the EWR LC meeting on September 29th.
Thank you.
Kaye Riggs
Kaye Riggs has been a pilot for Continental Airlines for over 21 years. Prior to that he held flying positions at several commuter airlines and at a Grand Canyon tour operator. Before he made the decision to pursue a flying career, he was in law enforcement in Southern California.

No matter whom you support it is imperative we have a strong voter turn out. Our careers are at stake, you can't afford not to get involved!

I certainly don't think you're talking about the same Jayson Baron I know. This guy is so far into doing the right thing for pilots he's probably PAYING to work for the union. I'd be really upset if he had that kind of cloud hanging over his head. This information is probably from the same people who think that everyone with a letter after their employee number is a scab. Some of the best guys in EWR have letters after their name and won't even look at a scab, yet many THINK they are scabs because "they know for sure due to the employee number". I'd like to know where you got this information about Jayson....................

Jayson is definately not a member in bad standing. Jayson, Tara, and Kaye are very strong candidates.

Even though you don't have the courage to sign your name after throwing around libelous and slanderous statements, I have absolutely nothing to hide.
