Dear Pilots,
On the 4th of July we ask for your support in declaring our Independence from the tyranny imposed upon us from this unscrupulous management team.
Management wants to continue with things as they are. They are making an incredible amount of money, paying us at the old rate. They do not have to honor the new trip rigs/days away from base.
They will win a new, weak scope section as Judge Kasher is very biased and will side with management against labor. He has shown his true colors in the past.
On Independence Day;
1. Atlas/Kalitta Pilots will no longer fly Polar Flights
2. Polar Pilots will share the pain by blocking out 16 minutes late
Our goal is to force management to sign our new contract as it is negotiated, not as it will be assigned by Judge Kasher.
We chose the Polar flights because management is continuing to add these flights to our schedule, Keeping us out longer without the protections of our new contract and paying us at the old, outdated pay rates. Polar alone cannot fly these flights and they are easily identifiable.
In blocking out late, the fines imposed on management will make it very expensive to continue without a new contract in place. Please use the code, "New Contract needed" in the acars message.
We ask for your support in this endeavour. This is not sactioned by nor even known by Union Officials. They will come out against this on paper, but remain strong, our solidarity outweighs managements greed.
Pass this around.
