Does a profit at NJA= Better QOL and a raise at Flex?

[el raton]

Ever since, NJA has settled their contract , Flex managment has been telling us how much money NJA has been loosing. Now that NJA is showing a profit, I am waiting to hear Flex's spin and explain to us why we can't make as much and get as much time off as C Shares and NJA. I'm updating my resume.

Make sure you run that resume through the spell-checker. It's "losing", not "loosing".

Flex doesn't have to explain anything to you. Good luck on your job search.

The profit is or isn't there, depending on who you believe. AIN says there is a profit, the company memo says don't believe the hype we have a long way to go. I think the truth is somewhere in between, that NJA is getting there, but time will tell.

Now as for Flex finding some money to pay the pilots more.... Don't hold your breath...

I thought FLEX gave pay raises this month?

Don't expect things to change much at Flex until a union is brought in... Sure, it's not the remedy for every problem (and unions sure ain't perfect), but it can help to accelerate change.

Flex did give out raises this month, but now there is no guarentee of days paid like there used to be. Before we were paid 16 days if we bid 16 or 17 but got less days due to PBS. Now we may bid those but we only get paid the days PBS gives us. So now, if I bid 17 days for the money and PBS gives me 12, I only get paid that 12 days. We were not told of this during the December meetings.

Bad deal... Have you raised this concern with managment (I presume so)? What response did they give?

Sound a bit like a shell game...
