Takeoff performance better with any of the small citations over the Learjets?
Please
Thats laughable.

Lear 60 is known for bad landing performance. The rest are good.
The Lear has 2 wheels on each main. Cessna still can't figure that out yet.
I'll remember that on a 4000' runway.Maybe you just suck as a pilot and that is why you need the extra wheels. hhhmmmm...
Just remember in your flair to add a "scosh" of power before you touchdown.
A modest cut may not bring problems, but massive downgrades would be downgrading the pilots who fought for the '05 contract and know every last place an airplane may have a problem on a preflight.
DAS, I am a post '05 hire so I care quite a bit. I waited until the '05 contract and then I came. I wish I would have came earlier, but at least I do still have a job here. I can't say that I trust that it will last. I learned all about having a B plan after two furloughs in '01 and I have a plan now should the egg shells I'm walking on crack.
Can you honestly tell me the company shouldn't have furloughed the pilots that they did? It sucks, but it was necessary and the majority of the pilots understand. Management f'ed up big time and way over hired. Something needed to be done and it was. Along with the furloughs, quite a bit of upper management (the decision makers that exasperated the problems or who were just dead wood anyway) have been replaced or just plain removed also. The new management now says the company is on the way to a profitable year so I have a feeling things will get pretty ugly if they decide to chop some more and downgrade a ton of pilots. My posts on this subject have not disputed that it might happen to a small degree, but to dispute the very high numbers that were quoted at the beginning of the thread. Can you tell me it is necessary for the company to downgrade 471 (or whatever the number was) pilots now? The majority of pilots would say it isn't necessary and would fight back. I don't think it would get to the point of STFD, but I don't think profits would be realized and management would know exactly why. Good luck moving on and if coming back is what you want, I hope it is sooner rather than later, brother.
First a lesson to ALL that weren't here during the war years at NJA, NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER base your beliefs on information that is PUBLICLY RELEASED BY THE COMPANY. Spouting of sales numbers and projections then assuming they are real is a huge error.
Thanks for the advice, I'm happy to hear the pre-'05 folks at NetJets are the only people in aviation to ever have management lie to them.
