Netjets Globals

[gunfyter]

prepared to go fly the CL 350 when the time comes.

I think there is a 350 with my name on it on the drawing board

Now the 605? Here piggy piggy....

You sure got that right! Too bad Bombardier didn't add a little fuel to the CL350 to get it over 40K lbs for you Netjets guys.

I'm hoping you get displaced into a 6000. In my opinion, it's a lot nicer than a 300/350 in every regard.

The CL 350 will be a hair over 40,000 lbs but it won't meet the other, less well known contractual requirements regarding range and mission that trigger the higher pay scale. Which is why I hope the new contract eliminates the division.

And after my experiences on tour this last week, the 350 will be a lot nicer than the Global in one respect: NO FLIGHT ATTENDANT! Sheesh, I had forgotten how long a week it can be with the wrong FA in back.

There's not an MEL for that??

I came from the airlines, could not agree more.. F/As are far more trouble than they're worth

Be careful what you wish for.

We thought we were getting relief when she was scheduled to go home on our day 5. And then she extended two days.....

Yes, I tried to explain how she was shooting herself and the other FA's in the foot since they are in the middle of contract negotiations.

:uzi:

And there's the best argument so far for an aft galley!!!

I feel your pain...

Ever been on a 737-900? It stretches on for days. I don't think even the aft galley on that airplane is far enough away for this FA :laugh:

Simply a place holder. Just like the Latitude.

No doubt about it. All I care about is keeping the folks in the back happy. If the boss wants a new G550, I'll just consider myself very lucky, and I certainly won't complain. I guess that's my point though. GLEX vs G; who really cares? They're both very capable machines, and each has certain advantages over the other. Sometimes I get the idea you're rooting for the Globals to fail because you love your G. If you are, I believe you may be disappointed. It honestly is a very good airplane.

I'm hopeful that Netjet's large orders with Bombardier will give them enough influence to improve the caliber of Bombardiers customer service and their willingness to stand behind their product. In my opinion, that is still Bombardiers weakness not the airplanes themselves.

Couldnt have said it better myself. Havent seen any type of issues outside the regular CAS messages and CTL-ALT-DEL continual resets. The frame and interior has held up fantastically without issue. Spent the day yesterday with a G-Bird rep expounding on the 650 over golf and simply could not believe the first one avail is nearly 4yrs out. 550? Almost 2 years. They arent hurting. IMHO, you have 6 in one hand, half a dozen in the other.

Wait, they're in contract negotiations and they're picking up extended days? Holy hell, way to devalue yourself in the middle of negotiations.

My exact point to her in a nutshell. I told her when you extend at the end of a tour, you are rewarding management incompetence because they either can't staff properly or else abuse people so badly they call in sick. Wait a tic. BOTH of those things are happening.

When they dropped an extra ferry and a 13 pax transcon onto what was an easy day, I was ready to shell her if she said one word about it.

She extended. You pay the piper.

My partner told me later she bitched to him and he shut her down which is why I didn't hear a peep out of her.

Tough love. Sometimes it has to be done!

Uh huh. And the G pilots account for how many extended days, exactly?
