If we're not willing to strike if necessary, why have a union? |

Local 109 could take a lesson or two from the UAW. At least they understand had unions should work. |

went on for more than 90 days and eventually the company caved in and paid higher wages due to lost revenue on the Big OG contracts....well guess what happens when your not flying for over 90 days? your unqualifed to fly that aircraft for Currency issues....PHI said well all those pilots that aren't current you are now fired....Union took PHI to court saying PHI had to pay to get the piltos current and the Courts said NOPE they actually don't....
A LOT of those pilots got the boot....but if you crossed the lines they were taking NEW hires in 407 training and putting them in S76 slots and 407/135 guys and bumping them up to S92 captains....plus those still flying got almost Double/Triple Pay to stay on sched for OT purposes and a HIGHER daily rate added onto their salaries....so yeah there are ups/downs....Company might drag it out and kick you to the curb...FACT they can do that... |

because they hired NEW hires to fill the slots and promoted those that stayed...FYI, I was a 407 new hire during the strike, and they walked into training asking who wanted to be a S76 and 135 pilot, and moved us over to fill those slots.....S76 guys and 135 pilots flying got S92 slots....so yeah, they did fire them....Yeah, it proved a point firing those...Consequences and who holds the true hand....THey fired those NOT current and brought in a Endless new batch of pilots for all slots...Instructors and even the CP flew the line.... |

Yes phi went on strike years ago. Years ago when there was a line out the door of pilots waiting for any job. Today? amc is hiring anyone with a pulse. There is a serious pilot shortage. so go ahead, fire everyone who strikes, let me know how it goes replacing me and everyone else. That's the BIG difference from then and now |
