Confessions of a Union Buster

Re: Confessions of a Union Buster
Unions are earned like a restraining order.
I've always worked for small operations, my direct manager has always been ether myself or the owner, till my most recent job.
The aviation side of the house is union, the medical side is not, and seeing how we are treated and how they are treated when it comes to forced coverage for open shifts, and also pay differences, when it comes to most big companies, outside of goldmansacs or Microsoft, unions are a good thing.

Thanks for sharing. Very relevant today WRT WJ/Swoop. Perhaps you could share in WJ area. This is something all WJ pilots need to see.
Using this guy's thesis CB is certainly the one individual wishing to maintain control while JS is the union buster. Wonder if he is a "consultant" or part of the team of consultants?

Yes that's it! I'm made my $387,000 last year through preferential crew sked/crew planning treatment, and under-the-table secret payments...yyc757 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 03, 2018 9:58 am Thanks for sharing.

I spent about $2000 of my after-tax money last year combatting the entry of ALPA into the ranks of WJ pilots. I don't regret a single penny.
I'm still a happy non-ALPA member!
Cheers

You might have a T4 that high, but how much of that did you actually take home?WeedPro2000 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 1:07 pmYes that's it!

"management would do what they could in an effort to demean you. They would package you and bring you down to the level of a janitor to take way from the importance of your role"
Sound familiar? It always makes me cringe seeing pilots on a big airline putting on gloves and going through garbage. What next emptying the toilets?
Sad.
