I won't cross your strike line or fly your planes, but if you were released to self help sometime in the next 3 to 4 years AND the President and Congress didn't order you back to work, right now we have separate CBA's and to strike on your behalf would be an illegal work action on F9 pilots part.

3 very knowledgable people, 1 Management, 1 IBT and a very experienced Arbitrator have laughed out loud when asked if they thought RAH IBT would either get a contract or be released from mediation in the next 3 years. The Arbitrator was the one that said, in this economic environment there is not a chance in a million that the Government would allow ANY airline to strike (Amerijet really isn't a very good example of an "airline").

I feel bad for the vast majority of the great guys and gals that are line pilots at native RAH, you have been and are still being fed very biased and inaccurate information.

Did DS lead negotiations on contract 2003? If so, why is he running contract 2015 negotiations?

 

Airdale has been furloughed and is a hothead pilot we "have". Ignore 98% of what he says. He's a former Colganite who hoped to find greener pastures over here and came in at the wrong time. He's one of our 1%'ers.

 

I don't recall you are any of your peers walking a picket line while on strike. You lack the courage and or conviction to sacrifice yourself to your own cause yet criticize those who won't sacrifice themselves for that same cause. Peace.

 

While we're talking about strikes, I doubt any F9 pilot would fly struck work. My understanding is that the striking group determines what constitutes "struck work". Can they do that without limitation? When Comair went on strike, could they say that any flight between, say, CVG and MEM was struck work if they flew that route once a day while Delta did it 4 times? I ask because I wonder if IBT could (for argument's sake) say that DEN-RSW is "struck work" because they did it twice a week in the E190 at one point.

Fill me in someone.

 

Jeff,

YOU have been the one fomenting divisiveness.
YOU have been the one who refused to talk.
YOU have been the one who pushed for separate but unequal.

To call us divisive is delusional at best and misleading at worst.

 

Probably not Jeff...just a hunch

 

I didn't say anything about walking a picket line. YX pilots came close but never struck. But then again, we didn't come in, paint our airplanes the colors of someone else, fly their routes and throw them out in the streets with our blessings. You deserve every headache you get and I hope you and your company fail. By the looks of things, that could soon be a reality. I for one will enjoy the show even more than both of you pathetic idiots arguing about who represents who.

 

strike... what a joke f9 will be separated or out of business loooong before any contract talks are released for a strike.

 

I'll fill you in, there are pilots at F9 who have flown struck work, there are also pilots at local357 who have crossed picket lines. A large percentage of dues paying ALPA pilots are on scab lists. Seriously, get educated. Find a complete scab list and go down the membership rolls of both unions. Anyway the definition of scab is really cute. The United pilots who flew Frontier airplanes in 1986 didn't get that title but they certainly earned it. When the clueless kids at Teamsters try to destroy my job, paybacks a mother. They strike and I'll fly for free.

 

Hopefully RAH sinks with them. If they dont at the same time they will follow within a few years after F9 burns all of the revs money.
