Ahab and SDT,

I hear what you are saying, but lets remember that there are two issues at NJS, and we should not confuse them.

The issues being:

Issue (1) A breach of contract. At least 33 x 146 pilots that have a valid, current, AWA that the company drafted, have been underpaid thousands of dollars. These pilots have no particular wish to change the terms of their employment. They are happy to motor on with their existing terms and conditions of employment (and they are a pretty modest set of conditions by RPT jet standards)

That is the problem we took to the OWS to fix, last year.

Issue (2) The unwillingness and/or inability of NJS to properly engage with its pilots in discussions on terms and conditions, and broker a 'win-win' arrangement that is fair for all pilots, old and new, and productive for the company.

That is the problem we took to the TWU to fix, last month.

My dissatisfaction with Ahab's original post is a reaction to his unfairness and jumping to conclusions, not my allegiance to a particular union.

We told them to go sit on the bench. Don't dump on the AFAP for "dropping the ball" on that issue when we benched them.
