If you did not follow corporate aviation through the 80's and 90's you may not know that the "fractional model" was basically laughed at by most everyone in this business. It will never work, its illegal, its foolish, etc etc etc.

RTS stayed with it even though he had many naysayers. Now today the Netjets brand is know worldwide (even outside of our business).

Its not just a business its actually a "Brand". When is the last time you have heard this mentioned by anyone?

roughly mid 2009

And it was prefixed with the phrase, "He's killing the..."

just a few weeks back I heard the Netjets brand on a local radio station. DJ said that he was surprised that Alec Baldwin wasn't flying on "Netjets"

My immediate thought was >> RTS really did create not only a company but a Brand with Netjets

 

[Semore Butts]

and by what title did you call his successor?

Ah.....nevermind....

Harry Potter is used quite often in reference to the newest CEO.

Yep, even if it ain't us they often call it "a Netjet" Kinda like the people who think all private jets are Lears

I think we need to bring the "Brand" word back into the equation

I think we need to bring the "Brand" word back into the equation

To do that you have to do simple subtraction...

BRAND=NJA-HANSEL-NOE-EYER

or

B=N-(H+N+E):beer:

It would certainly be interesting if Santulli bought NJA from Berkshire. I like that idea.

I think we all do. NJA would likely be in a better place to grow.

We could all be one happy family again!

While RTS was always referred to as Mr. Santulli, it was out of respect of the man who created the fractional business, The current leaderchild has never been afforded the title of Mr., I wonder why?

Respect is earned, it isn't thrust down our throats or scared into us.


I just hope that the leaderchild gets that concept someday, before this place is all but a sad memory.

 

[fischman]

I hope he's gone long before that is the case.

 

[HiSpeedFlyer]

You and I both, for our families sake.

Have a great holiday, amigo.

When RTS was in charge, the pilots and all other employess always referred to him as Mr. Santulli. It was a sign of respect.

and by what title did you call his successor?

If you are looking for a serious answer, it is Hansell. Not Mr. Hansell, just Hansell. I have never heard a pilot refer to him otherwise. And yes, it was always Mr. Santulli.
