NetJets TA Passes

[Archie Bunker]

Thanks Archie. Only 1 hour to work as opposed to 4. Life is good. Come on back to NJA. If you're really nice to me I'll write you a recommendation letter.
Just kidding. You don't have to be nice. What's life like at UPS?

Thanks for the offer Hoppy, but I'll never go back to passengers again. UPS has spoiled me there. I'm off probation next month, and my pay will more than triple...time sure flies when you're having fun.

NJA was a good gig, with a lot of great folks, but I worked 10 times harder there than I ever have at UPS.

I really am happy for you guys with this new TA. Decent pay, and no more stupid domiciles. I'm sure the applications will be stacked a mile high there now! Best of luck to you, and here's wishing you a speedy upgrade to PIC! Give me a call if you ever overnight in SAN.

Yeah baby! Triple the money. Congrats! You deserve it man. I was just yanking your chain about the rec. letter.
Who would ever leave UPS?????
With that kind of dough, next time I get to SAN, beer is on me but dinner is on you. (hee, hee)

How close do you have to live to the new domiciles?

How close do you have to live to the new domiciles?

There is no distance limit - just be able to report to your base on your first day of work. You'll know when you need to be there at 6pm the night before.

Gateways... gone.

Domiciles... gone.

They are now called Crew Bases and there are 100 of them.

Show up at work on day one as briefed the night before... no worries.

Watching The Call on CNBC.

Warren Buffett is fundraising for Hillary.

Just talked to my CEO: She told me on MSNBC today Buffett said he is actually raising money for BOTH Hillary and Obama.

Still not HBA's for all.

8.5 yr.contract

PBS....its a joke.

PTO...even bigger joke.

Paperwork for fatigue calls

18 day schedule still isn't finalized.....

5.5 days of vacation forced to sell back at daily rate.

19.3

RIBBIT!!!!

If those it affects are perfect happy with it, who cares? Not letting me use BFE as a base is like telling me I can't have any olives. Since I don't want 'em, who cares?

8.5 yr.contract

Only if we get NJI integrated.

PBS....its a joke.

Remains to be seen. Done right, it could be more flexible than the Reserve. (I know, I know -- nobody wants to work 18 days on the 18-day schedule... )

Yup...your right...I don't want to hear anyone B!tch.

Just make sure the plane is clean and stocked.

Sorry for the guys who still have to commute. These were the one who were sold out.

Guess the majority has spoken and I will abide.

Just Curious

I am waiting on an interview and was wondering...who still has to drive?

There are some geographical holes in the country where we could use a crew base. I think the number that has been quoted is the 100 crew bases are within 90 miles of 95% of our pilots. ALB, CRW, and a number of places out west did not make the final list of 100. If the company extends the contract, then the union gets to pick 10 more crew bases that have to meet the same guidelines as the other bases.

Hi!

If I am hired at NJA, I would have to drive 2 hours-120 miles. It is interstate all the way, so not bad, but Home Basing or something closer would, of course, be better.

This new IBB is the difference for me. Before, the commute to CMH was possible, but not practical.

The two hour drive is not perfect, but it's easier than my commute now, and easier than most commutes for me.
