Netjets Recalls!!!!

[Semore Butts]

See Squonks "There be good news coming".

It's a vague thread title, but, that's what it's about. No need for 2 threads I guess.

Starting in March, that's all I have for now. Message didn't really say how many, but also hiring Flight attendants as well.

In other news, Netjets is firing pilots for taking sick days per their contractual rights.

That's great news!

Awesome news....

Too bad these great news won't stay great for long...I wonder how long before the nay-sayers chime in... No positive news stay positive with those guys around

"We're recalling because everybody is leaving"
" they're firing pilots for X reason so they have to recall"
" we're recalling due to an FAA mandate, but we're still shrinking"

That didn't take long for someone to turn this into "the company hates us and everything they do is wrong and aimed at hurting pilots".

Furloughed pilots that wish to return or temporarily bypass recall: Be sure to update your address of record with NJA HR so that your recall letter gets to you. If you don't respond (and they WON'T care why) within 7 calendar days, you will be immediately terminated.

I'd HATE to say somebody who wants to come back get screwed over because of a clerical snafu. Go on record with anybody you can, HR, the union, or whoever in order to protect your desire and rights to return.

The company is notorious for sending stuff to the wrong address...

Meanwhile, no numbers released yet but if they announce say 100 recalls and you're within 200 ish, be ready. My guess is they will get to you.

If they announce say 100 recalls and you're within 495 ish be ready.

I fixed it for ya Gut!

Seriously, congratulations to the guys/gals that will accept the recall, it will be great to have you back!!

You may be right....

I just don't know how many will come back. And how many will stay once they get current.

Regardless, it's great news for those that want to come back and good news for our negotiators if they are willing to take advantage of the additional leverage this provides.

I doubt they will announce any firm numbers for recall. They will just recall as they believe they need. If the flood gates open wider and wider for those who are leaving, then the recalls will be more and faster, but they are currently into seeing how far the pilots will allow themselves to be pushed. If the masses stop flying broke airplanes and stop flying fatigued (the average is about 1 fatigue call per pilot per year), then the recall will really pick up.

Glad you didn't say extended days, we all know they don't help.

Well, not trying to be a "naysayer", but your first quote above is EXACTLY the reason the company gave for the recalls when they made the announcement.

As to your second quote, I don't know if it's affecting the recall numbers, but they ARE firing pilots. Whether the firings are legitimate or part of an intimidation campaign is yet to be determined, but preliminary indications are it's the latter.

Haven't heard anything in regards to your third quote.

Hope this helps.

Oh, and congrats to the guys who will be coming back!
But ready yourselves, this is not the company, or union, that you were furloughed from (and not in a good way for either).
Good luck to you!!!

The company doesn't release much when it comes to terminations. The recent one (a few weeks ago) was due to some unethical stuff and not performance or attendance based. I can't and won't get into details, but if anyone here is privy you can just agree.

There may be some others in the pipeline, but from what I know it's those 1%ers that even the majority of you can't stand to be paired with. These are the ones who get cornered in a parking lot by a group of peers telling him knock his crap off and yet continues the antics. These antics by the way cause you to work more and work harder.

Contrary to popular belief, most of us workers know our pilot group is dedicated and work hard and put up with a lot of crap. There is that 1% in every group that creates work for everyone. And many think we we do things to affect quality of life or job...We honestly don't have the time nor the desire to make life difficult. Sure, dumb decisions can be made, but they're made by someone who probably has a dozen others things going on that need attention 10 minutes ago. Come sit in the SOC for a day for a better perspective.

As far as broken airplanes, not sure what you are seeing but you have tools at your disposal to report it. From my point of view when I see some of the stuff I see, I have a hard time believing that broken airplanes are being flown.

Welcome back to those being recalled. I hope it's a large number.

At least the union got in a "oh crap the furloughees are coming back better get in a quick we didn't forget about you email an hour before that company announced recalls" letter. Because that just would have been awkward.
