NJA Contract Rumor

[Jack Mehoff]

But we want our furloughees back soon.

Really? Then why was there a 37% increase in Volunteer extended day flying in 2012? Why has the Union Leader not said 1 word to the furloughed in 2.5 years? Why has the FWG been idle the entire time, and why has the Union continually said working extra days (18day, and extended days) does not affect recalls?

You want you fuloughees back, Sure have a funny way of showing it guys.

Key is sales

Need more sales. Previous bossman was very good at sales

Jack,
Do you really think attacking someone professing your side helps? Sure there are those not on board but you make things worse by dumping on someone like Blueridge. All I can say is "Shut up".

I don't think he was attacking the messenger. I thought we were all on the same "side".

 

[imacdog]

He's also only saying what everyone is thinking. The union leadership really screwed the pooch over the last couple years.

How can things be solid when all of the metrics they email to us indicate negative sales and less hours flown?

Cooking the books, to meet the agenda of the day. NJ is interwoven thru the BRK fabric. Hard to get exact numbers. And that’s how management wants it.

I get what you are saying, but it seems pretty clear sales are down and the fleet is shrinking.

I can't wait to see how crazy their opener is for section 6.

Same here. I'll bring the s'mores.

Whatever you do don't cave, otherwise Fred "axe man" Reid will be chopping more than just jobs around here. If it wasn't for your contract our pay and QOL would be even more pitiful than they are now!

 

[imacdog]

I'm sure G4dude is ready to give back everything. Everyone else? Probably not.

I'm not attacking anyone, I'm simply stating the facts. Facts published to us in the Compass. You might want to put down your kool aid and have a reality check buddy. You feel like one united group being put in a black out, and sold out? I know sales is key to get us back.However the behavior of the active "professional pilot group" has just been kicking us while we are down.

I'm sorry the truth is unpleasant. You go keep kneeling down and bending over for any current NJA pilot if it makes you feel better.

Profits have been excellent this year even with the bad economy

Just say no to givebacks

but we need sales too so we can get everyone back to work soon

The 18 day guys going to 7/7 will not help. All that will do is make things cheaper for the company and allow them to probably even furlough more because there will be no more mismatching of crew schedules. Notice that with all the people leaving, taking LOA and such and we still hear that we are overstaffed. But the workload has not gone down (at least not in my fleet).
The extended days are almost entirely GLC, and that has no impact on the fleets going from TEB-PBI-PDK-TEB, which are the fleets that have almost all the furloughees.
The fact is that our new improved EMT is hooked on saving $$ to the point that they no longer are concerned with growth. And that my friend, is what we need more than anything.

Considering we are all on the same seniority list now, I urge you to reconsider your logic.
