Adding your name to this petition does not mean you are anti union in any way, shape, or form. It just states that we want to be heard and get what's best for us. We all agree that a joint contract needs to happen - when the time and conditions are right. We all want what's best for our workgroup!
We, the undersigned flight attendants of ExpressJet, request that the IAM seek extensions to the current contracts in lieu of the requested proffer of arbitration. At a time when the company is not posting a profit on paper, it is not in our best interest to obtain a joint collective bargaining agreement. The IAM requested the proffer of arbitration without seeking the opinions of the workgroups that they represent. The pilots of ExpressJet have been offered extensions and we want the same opportunity! We want our voices heard as this is our livelihood. We hereby encourage and request the IAM to listen to the members that it represents!

I prefer an extension at this time, because contract negotiations are taking way too long and there is no way we will get anything better that will cost the company money. And I do not want the IAM leadership to cram an inferior contract down my throat.
Extension, Please! But, I also need a raise. I'm still living in poverty with ALL the work I do in alone in a plane!
We need to keep in line with our pilots. Historically we have achieved greater things via "me toos" after they have obtained a new contract. Additionally, we do not want to have work rules that are different than our respective pilot groups. Having such would create logistical nightmares with our daily working conditions.
The intirity of the Express Jet Flight Attendant body did not have a choice in this decision. PLEASE ALLOW US TO COME TO TERMS WITH OUR COMPANY, as we feel like our union has robbed us the opportunity by taking such drastic measures with out our voice!
I would like to keep our work rules but extension on pay and per diem until a joint contract can be finalized.
I want an extension
Best thing at this time is an extension

I view the request for a proffer as a desperate act. I thinks we are far from a desperate situation. Please reach out to the company on our behalf to secure an extension. And then regroup with our FA group to include them in future decisions. We are a membership organization!
