Was in the hotel van with a couple of Netjets crew and they were talking about Bombardier making a move for Netjets.

Guess Bombardier has been talking with Buffet.

Anyone else heard this?

Makes sense for Bombardier they get the sell all the globals a couple of times and keep the revenue that is generated over the life of the owner’s contracts.

Sweet, it sounds. Like free cash. They keep all the revenue and don't have to pay any of the costs. :rolleyes:
 
Bombardier already has a frac they don't want. Why would they buy another?
 
Your first mistake was listening to any Netjets pilots in the van to the hotel. NJA pilots can't even run their own union, let alone guess what the intentions of Billionaires are......

What makes you think these Nejets pilots in the van could possibly know anything? Did they look smart or something? Or did you just want to get your own imagination out there? You sure showed your stupidity.

My shoe shine guy told me to buy gold. Its a lock.....
 
Are you saying Bombardier is already looking for ways to guarantee the huge a/c order Netjets placed?



Not likely...

I would go the other way around. If anything, Bombardier would be looking to sell Flex to Buffet.

I'll have to agree with that....

However I see Mr. Buffet going

"Netjets if one of the worst investments I've ever made and you want me to buy your fractional? OH HELL NO"

Didn't say I believed them, just asking a question.

Guess this struck a nerve with you.

You have a shoe shine guy??
 
Not as crazy as you think. Step away from your computer and think about it for a few minutes. Then come back ...

(1) Netjets is not WB's favorite investment and he wouldn't mind off loading it. (2) Flex may be too small of an operation to make economic sense for Bombardier. (3) With NJ (and all the new Bombardier product), Bomb. keeps a large number of aircraft maintained, flying, etc. It may be the economy of scale they need. (4) WB either joint ventures with Bomb. or sells NJ to Bomb for Bomb stock. (5) Flex gets folded into NJ and NJ runs the operation. It could work.

But my next door neighbor's son's, sister-in-law's, 3rd grade teacher who knows someone who once worked at a company which sold lettuce to an inflight caterer, and he said the only issue is wheter the Flex pilots joining the operation get stapled to the seniority list at the bottom or keep their original Flex hiring date. Other than that -- sounds like a done deal.

But really, it is not as crazy as it seems.

If Bombardier buys NJ ... wouldn't it be whether NJ gets stapled or DOH into the Flex list?

I've been lurking around this site for 7-8 years now. these are the rumors I've seen:

-Netjets buys CS, their guys get stapled to the bottom
-Netjets buys FLOPS', their guys get stapled to the bottom
-Netjets buys Flex, their guys get stapled to the bottom
-Bombardier buys Netjets, flex guys get stapled to the bottom
-Bombardier buys netjets, netjes guys get stapled to the bottom

I CANNOT wait to hear what's next..

By the way I heard netjets is converting their planes to a cargo configuration. Anybody else heard that?

You've been hanging around this message board too long! :laugh:
 
Maybe Bombardier will buy NetJets and you guys will get lucky enough to have FlexJet Management run the place.

My God, this man has it. There's no surer way to run NJA's out of business than to put FR in charge of it. And he does wonders for crew moral too. Suddenly FJ is viable again.

It's so diabolical that only a risk taking, devil may care, lone wolf company like Bombardier would think of it.

7-8 years? Your still a newby. You missed...
Flight Options buys Travel Air and staples most of Flight Options to the bottom.
 
So... you're saying it's possible :p

Now that is funny! I can't think of a better way for Netjets to become leaner and right sized than they could with FR at the helm; and with DG and TC polishing and cutting his toenails under the desk.
 
You guys are way off. Rudy's is buying CLS and Netjets and will thus have a reliable delivery system to send their swill worldwide.

Bombardier will buy Netjets and bring back Santulli....

Unrestricted Aviators (those who can also fly helicopters) will all get paid double for flying both....

Finally :beer:

Sounds good to me! I'd finally be making as much as a pilot at Netjets. :p

But will subsequently have their new pay reduced by 75% when it comes to light that their fixed wing skills are historically well below average :laugh:
 
I heard on the hotel van years ago that all of the fracs were going to merge but the only hold up was on the marketing end and how to come up with a cool logo for the new name: Flexible Executive Travel Options. I guess it's still in the works.
