(WASHINGTON) – Omni Air International (Omni Air) pilots who are represented by the Airline Professionals Association-Teamsters Local 1224 voted to authorize a strike, with 100 percent of participating members voting in favor of the action. Today’s strike authorization allows Teamsters Local 1224’s leadership to call a strike on behalf of the pilot group, if necessary and when legally permitted under the Railway Labor Act (RLA). “This overwhelming vote should be a clear wake up call to Omni’s management team that enough is enough,” said Captain Paul Rodell, a member of the Omni Air Pilots Executive Council. “It’s time for Omni to come to the bargaining table to reach an agreement on a pilot contract that recognizes our contributions to this company.” Omni Air pilots have been in negotiations for an amended collective bargaining agreement for nearly three years. Progress toward a new contract has stalled, despite eight months of federally mediated negotiations. Other labor groups at the company, including Omni Air’s flight attendants and dispatchers are facing similar circumstances.

the matty healy/queer rights in malaysia debacle is so weird to me

like im now seeing all of these non-malaysian commentators and creators talking about it on social media with takes on queer rights in malaysia

and im over here, a queer malaysian, being like🧍

#zee.txt #i appreciate the ones platforming our grassroots orgs here #but im still finding all of this weird #it's just the way we're framed in conversation as an abstract topic to be debated #when im very much an actual human being who happens to be queer AND malaysian #seeing all of these takes #also the fact no one gives a shit about us until we're directly connected to anything associated with US/Canada/Europe #ala all the western news talking about the MH airline disasters #and a frontman from an American band causing an international incident here

Finally caught this little guy hiding in the tall grass on my ride home. I assume it's a kit Vans RV this person is building ����

Wish em the best of luck on their plane build! I hear they're much more complex than the little old school tube & fabric N3 Pup I'm rebuilding.

#i really love #kitplanes #so much theres so many cool designs and they say it feels different-in a good way- flyjng a plane you built #for the non aviation people- this is very common and has been a thing since the wright brothers #its just as safe as a normal certified airplane imo if not more so cause its more affordable and #pilots dont have to make decisions on postponing potential expensive maintenance and faa certified parts cause #the faa cert tag makes stuff terribly expensive- granted its a good thing to keep #cheap af penny pinching airlines or commercial stuff from killing people with carelessness #i might be biased af from growing up hanging out on the 2nd largest airshow #run by the Experimental aircraft association buuut i also have full understanding of #the physics design and construction of these kitplanes- they go thru all the same testing and math as a certified plane #planeposting #idk i lost my train of thought :')

NACTA - Where is it?

When initially venturing into the travel industry, I encountered numerous membership groups for agencies, one of which received high praise as a recommended affiliation – NACTA, originally known as the National Association of Commissioned Travel Agents and later rebranded as the National Association of Career Travel Agents. However, the story today is different, as NACTA no longer exists.…

Tomato Juice

Tomato Juice is a fruit juice made from tomatoes. It is a somewhat unusual, salty, sour juice, in comparison to the normally sweet fruits used in juice. The flavor tends to be strong and overwhelming, and many people find it unpleasant when not combined into cocktails.

However, it is a somewhat popular option as a complimentary beverage on airplanes, as the diminished senses of smell and taste at high altitudes make the normally overpowering taste into a desirable, rehydrating beverage. The fact it is complimentary makes it more popular than it would have otherwise been.

#period novel details #it's a bit like spaghetti-os sauce if you've had that but haven't had tomato juice #I only drink it on airplanes #mostly because I feel like having something unusual #and I don't want to associate something as uncomfortable as airline travel with a drink I consume normally

Our Failing Infrastructure

Our Failing Infrastructure

It seems to me…. “Infrastructure development is economic development.”  ~ Kay Ivey[1]. When infrastructure works, most people never think about it.  The problem in the U.S. today is exactly that – it has been much too long since most people have thought about it.  The U.S. is the wealthiest nation in the world, yet it ranks 13th when it comes to the overall quality of its infrastructure[2]. …

Cabin Crew Readiness

FAA Requires Additional Hour Between Shifts for Flight Attendants

FedEx Pilot representatives have expressed their disappointment at the latest round of talks over a new contract while labelling an offer to move to a regional airline as insulting. The Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA) said it was disappointed to read “management’s comments made to a small group of pilots that downplayed their prospects to provide an industry-leading contract”. The union referenced recent media reports that difficult market conditions meant it was hard to offer an improved deal. Billy Wilson, chair of the FedEx ALPA master executive council (MEC), said: “Everything attributed to FedEx management in a recent media piece has been used before to excuse a plodding pace at the bargaining table and overall failure to recognise the value of FedEx pilots. “It should be clear by now that we aren’t buying it, and I’m proud to say that our leadership and negotiating team are holding the line.”
