No surprise. This has been in the works for a while.

Does this mean we have to give back the models? Maybe just the furloughed guys?

Yes, it is a surprise to some of us.

Thanks NJA/NJASAP for keeping us in the loop.

They'll need to bump the dues to pay for keeping the members informed.

So you want them to broadcast rumors and possible business deals just to make you happy.

No. But an email stating that NJA has a new President and that we (or you) have purchased Marquis Jet wouldn't be over the top. You know, kind of like the one that goes out on the BlackBerry from NJA.

NJASAP keeps assuming that we receive the CorComs over our non-existent BB's.

I get most of my NJ info from the Columbus Dispatch.

I'm still not a union member (T minus 10 and counting) so I can't comment on their communication or lack therof.

But if this was a surprise to anyone in this business, they weren't paying attention.

It will be interesting to watch the interaction between the 495 and the other pilots when recalls begin. Both groups will assume the most outspoken a-holes represent the majority and it could have a negative effect on teamwork.

There will be NO recalls for at least 3 years and possibly another furlough between! IMHO

I don't think so. I know our active guys had or can have no affect on our status. I do think a lot of guys have a beef with the Union, not on our being furloughed, but on the seeming lack of communication. Even the most green E-1 gets word with a warning order when something is coming up. I'm tired of getting more and timely info from AIN then NJASAP.

I'm planning for 2018.

Not a surprise, just funny to me. Buying the company that just pimped us out. MJ made a ton of money by basically skimming off the top and now BH rewards them by buying them out. So what exactly did they buy, the right to sell our planes 25hrs at a time?

Yes I know MJ made a little money for NJ with their marketing technique. And I did enjoy the gifts.
