Gulfstream, Flexjet enter into agreement for 50 aircraft!

[Ludicrous Speed]

ok. gotta give credit to shanes on this one. "Don't you think that we all would want your management to be running the show if they truly where the way you claim with the crews?" It is & always will be uncle's show.

Their lack of unionization will mean $130K G-CAs with no retirement and termination

And you know this how?

The pilots at Flex were a great group of guys, I know, I worked there for 3 years.

I have no way of knowing how Flex will shake out with KR running the show. (Well, I have my personal opinion how it will work out)

You seem to be very negative towards the Netjets union, and now negative towards the non union Flexjet guys. You confuse me man?

What do you think we should do to improve our industry? Union? Non Union? What?

I left Flex to go to a union shop and I'm glad I did. I would love to see them unionize. I remember running into my Flex buddies on the road after we got our contract. They were thanking us because they knew they would get a raise if we did.

Get the union passed this time Flex! Juan may be right!!!!!

There are people that will do whatever they can to fly on a Gulfstream just for the name. Even if the Globals are equal or better, it doesn't matter, they are buying in for the name and nothing else.

Oh what it must be like to be you. All knowing, your finger on the pulse, the man with ALL the answers, an aviation GOD!

I wish you'd just push yourself away from the keyboard and stick with the school house high school clickers. we are all being painted with the same brush because of you and your all knowing B/S. Stop already, whatever is going to happen is going to happen and there isn't anything you or any of us can do about it except our jobs, and do them well.

We have our diehard Gulfstream owners. Including the billionaire who likes to talk to the crews that spent 7 hours (yes, 7 hours) in my cockpit telling me how he wants a 650 share and wants nothing to do with a Global. We just ceded that business to a competitor.

Genius.....

Isn't the Global a considerably larger cross section than a GXXX? And isn't the G650 cockpit just as small as every other GXXX? I was told the G650 is the same cockpit but with an expander ring to meet the new X-section. I don't understand why pax and drivers would want to stay in a smaller cabin/cockpit. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Because the passenger can go SFO to Hamburg (in keeping with the aforementioned example ) at .90-.92 in a 650. That's why.


And, as some people like to claim, size isn't everything....

Brand Recognition I agree its crazy. But it works

Funny how there are NJ crews on here posting that their current Gulfstream owners are expressing to them EXACTLY what I said.

All knowing, hardly. I just listen to what people say and put 2+2 together. I am not saying anything that hasn't been said before.

Maybe instead if always trying to correct me and tell me I am wrong you should just worry about doing your job well as you suggested.

I am sure the clicker comment was some kind of an insult, as most of your posts are, but the relevance is lost on me.

TWA ;"I am sure the clicker comment was some kind of an insult, as most of your posts are, but the relevance is lost on me".
The clicker is not an insult to you but.." the relevance is lost on me". TWA, These guy are not trying to insult you they are trying to give you the wake up call.
