Flexjet Union

I never thought I would say this, but here goes...

The stock nazis in the 45 have taken their positions as dedicated crews on the 350s.They will bend over backwards to make this new program work. In the end they will be successful and we'll all be forced into dedicated crews. KR will love them because they brought his vision of dedicated crews to fruition. He'll look at them as People who can carry out his plans and call them his innovators. In reality they're your typical suck up! theyvhave screwed us!


The days of seniority based pay, upgrades, and schedules will be destroyed because of them. Instead, you will be judged soley on your performance and willingness to go above and beyond anything we do now. In aviation that can be dangerous.

I guess it's time to make a decision. Either you join the dedicated crew, suck it up and say goodbye to a nice job. Flexjet

Next,
anybody have any ideas?

That's a laughable post full of major reaches and backhanded compliments. You'd be a lot less worried about the whole deal if you had spent the same amount of time asking mgt. about the program as writing that post. You probably even think that the "stock nazis" are the first group in line to get a tail. Ignorance is bliss.

 

[luckydog]

The fact that anyone is in line shows the true ignorance of the situation.

Sorry Beach, no matter how hard you try and convince yourself otherwise, you are in the wrong on this one. The self-centeredness this has brought out in people amazes me.

 

[Pacific]

Guess it'll just be the knobs left on the 45, right Beech?

 

[DirtyBeech]

And here you flat out told me that you don't blame FJ pilots for taking this. Which is the common private refrain of the most vocal critics. So are you lying to me when we speak? Have you bothered to ask who gets these tails if no one volunteers? Or do you still believe that they'll just go to the line?

 

[Pacific]

You seem to know the most about it; have you asked what will happen if no one takes them? Probably doesn't fit into your agenda. I don't blame you for being enticed, but at some point I expected you to see the light.

 

[DirtyBeech]

I straight up called the DO yesterday and asked that very question.

Maybe you should do the same. It might clarify things for you. Or you could return a phone call.

 

[Pacific]

The only way we'll know for sure, is if no one volunteers. I see what's happening, all too clearly, by the way.

 

[DirtyBeech]

Well, that's to be expected. Whole lot of pissed offedness, no real details released on the program yet, just speculation, and a complete unwillingness to ask questions on the part of the PO'd group short of the show thread on yammer.

 

[Pacific]

I did ask, and was told that if no one volunteered they would in fact go to the regular fleet.
Now what?

 

[DirtyBeech]

That wasn't the word as of yesterday.

 

[Pacific]

Maybe that wasn't the question you asked?

 

[DirtyBeech]

My exact question was would those tails go to the line if no one from FJ volunteered. The answer was definitively no.

If that's the case then so be it. If they want to assign the new 350s out of seniority order, make them do it. Don't volunteer to be the guy that showed mgmt that the pilot group doesn't care about seniority. If Kenn wants the 350 at FJ, they'll be flown from the same list as the 300. If he want's them flown by FLOPs, they'll still be assigned in seniority order.
