More cuts coming at Netjets????

[General Lee]

Yawn More crap from a Netjets hater, and self proclaimed aviation expert

Yeah, and the guy who wrote the article hates Netjets too.... oh yeah, and your new CEO hates the "old" Netjets, and will take care of the spending problem.......because he is a "hater" of overspending....

Sorry man, but the gravy days are over. No more Salmon sandwiches off of a menu from the FBOs.....welcome to pretzels and peanuts.....(like the rest of us)

Really? I am not seeing that.

Enjoy the Super 8. Hope they left a light on for ya.

You mean you "HOPE" they turn a profit. Welcome to the world of "Airline type CEOs." Your new guy, as johnsonrod says, wants his Buffet's job.
Not "my new guy" I was lucky enough to get a great job out of my home airport but that is besides the point. You're right, he will do what it takes to make money, but I don't think it will come much more on the expense of employees. The cut has been made and I am optimistic that will be it. Believe it or not most of us were not just 'sitting at the Hyatt' the last few months. Flying is picking up again over there and they are selling new shares. NetJets will be fine. I think a lot of people just want to see them fail. My prediction is that they will call people back sooner than expected.

Say what???? Read the article again. Your new CEO wants heads to roll. Did you read about his conference call with department heads, where he yelled "come clean or lose your jobs!!!" I guess you missed that part. He will do whatever it takes to clean up the overspending. Why would an analyst say you should have only 180 planes vs the 500 you have now? That aint good. Good luck.

You will, and I think you will like that motel. No more sitting around in Hyatts all day waiting for a call from Columbus. Nope. Hampton Inns will suit you all fine, and I hear they have free Breakfasts in the morning. Don't worry, we had a wake up call in our BK, cutting our pay and pensions. Unfortunately it looks like you may be in the same boat. Good luck!

I guess because it was written by a journalist that makes it so. What would somebody that actually worked there know? We will have to wait and see what happens but I think there is no way no how that the fleet will be reduced to that number. You should get out of the habit of believing everything you read in the paper. There were some staff cuts, they probably could have cut a few more, but they didn't. Wish the guys who are still on property luck. I don't need your 'good luck' sarcasm. Time will prove you wrong and we will have to leave it at that.
Good luck General,
Bye Bye

I agree, no more sitting around. But as far as going BK, I won't have to worry about the contract. It will be over if we file. It is that simple.

Time will prove me wrong, eh? I hope so, but I don't think so. Let's look at the facts please. What happened to your old CEO, Santulli? Abruptly leaves, with no real reason (got canned or just really embarrassed). Your new guy is KNOWN to be a hardazz. He yelled at people on a conference call, and that was documented. Any mistruthes yet? Nope. He wants heads, and he wants the over spending to STOP. That aint good. He is listening to guys like the analyst who suggested the smaller fleet numbers. He is looking at numbers, and his own future job possibly as head of Berkshire Hathaway. That job was rumored to possibly go to Santulli, and now he is gone. Seriously, good luck with that.

I didn't say you were going BK, since you are backed by a giant called Berkshire Hathaway. Buffet wouldn't allow it. But, he is now aware of the overspending problem, and that will be dealt with, by your new CEO, who likes to yell at people during conference calls. That is the point, an unknown guy who doesn't seem to care as much for pilots as Santulli did is now at the controls, and he aint happy. I meant you are in line for downsizing and lower pay and benefits, which is exactly what happened to most of the legacy airlines. Not fun, I have been there already. But, I married rich. (not a guy named Rich, just a girl with a better job than mine) Just remember, you can fall in love with a rich girl just as fast as you can fall in love with a poor one.

I find the 180 planes to be more than a little on the low side. If this was scheduled ops then yes 180 planes would work, but this is on demand. The number of planes will be directly related to the number of owners and card holders, not based on the number of flights for a given day or season. The name of the game is flexability. Having less than 400 airplanes will not allow for the flexibility our clients currently need. (The big question is where are they going to dump 100 airplanes) Like all things this can and will change.

Things at NetJets will change. My father flew for Delta from '79-'04 and growing up I got to see that change from a family atmosphere into just a job. It was a good job, but it wasn't what it was. My guess is NetJets will do the same thing. We will work more with less. It will never be a regional job and QOL, but it won't be the easy life we have had for the last three years.

Best of luck to us all,

Seriously, I don't need your good luck. He wants the overspending to stop and you think that aint good? That is the best thing for NJA. He yelled at people in a conference call? Oh my god! This guy is a lunatic! I can't understand why he wants this company to make money? Seriously, I think you are the one that needs to be wished good luck, you obviously need some seeing as how you are so pessimistic. Gooooood Luck son
Bye Bye
