Yip,

Maybe on your "step-latter" (That lack of a diploma is showing up again).

My "ladder" reaches higher

The EMT at Netjets, hasn't figured out what a waste this past year has been. Through their arrogance, THEY decided to open section six, then to launch a complete revision of policies. Policies BTW are the EMTs battle plan for discipline and termination. They did this last gem just in time for the holidays. So instead of being focused on our jobs, flying the aircraft safely, we are now DISTRACTED and wasting precious time, ensuring we've complied with the ridiculous EMT sanctioned policies.

Come here if you wish. In fact I hope we get a lot of you guys who are just looking for a type rating, then turn around and move onto the majors. This BTW was extremely common, until 9/11. Turnover rate was horrific, and I suspect that is in the process of happening again. We'll see a lot of folks leaving next year. That's the reality of the boomers being sent out to the pasture.

As for the fellow who said at least we're not being shot at, all I can say is what?! What does that have to do with anything?


I shouldn't even bite, but I don't think I'm the one who doesn't get it. It's all about perspective. BTW, I'm on your side that every letter of the CBA needs to be enforced, that we need to fight for every QOL & pay improvement, and that the failings of the EMT need to be aired.

On the other hand, many of the returning furloughees have been forced to go overseas, been shot at, lost home, families, etc. It's almost comical to sit next to a PIC telling you how awful life is at NJ and how he'd leave in a minute "if the opportunity presented itself" while showing off pictures of vacations, boats, ATVs, etc. or one describing the "7/7 hell" that is our schedule after having spent months on end away from home on multiple occasions. (Actual examples.)

We get paid to fly airplanes with a pretty reasonable assurance that we'll return to our families after each and every trip. Life is pretty darn good despite the current and, unity permitting, temporary work environment. I'd urge those toward the top of the list to know their audience a little better. Every furloughee I know is coming back ready to fight to the bitter end if necessary, but unity also needs to be built from the top.

I got a couple BS and MA, but they have nothing to do with flying an airplane. But in management you actually use some of the stuff you learned in post-secondary education. My Education BS got me hired as Director of Training and MA in Business allowed me to make presentations to raise the pilots pay in order to save costs on turnover.

There are a lot of exaggerations in this post. Which company did you say you fly for? I had 22 jobs before this one, and NJA is the best run, the most safe, and the most stable. It's just not perfect. Hansell needs to go, the lawyers and accountants who think they know how to run things are hurting the company, but things are good compared to the real world. However, for FOs, this is not a career destination.
When you say these bad things, to which company are you comparing NJA?

Unfortunately, those are not exaggerations. I strongly recommend you read your policy manual so you don't have to answer any questions. (It's best to never have them asked). Last week there were significant changes, and being on the GLC, most of the policies apply to you. If you have any questions about them get in touch with the SOD or your ACP to make sure you are in compliance.

As for everyone else, I recommend you keep your head low and your mouths shut. Take care of the owners as best you can with the tools they give you, and don't be afraid to comply with the FAR's, CBA, FOM, and CPM.

I don't want to see anyone lose their job over these silly games.

Yip the only BS you got is BULL********************

Middle coach seat on international flights would really bump the fatigue calls.

middle coach on anything over two hours is a fatigue call in my book

Owners are allowed to smoke on the aircraft. In 10 years, I've had 3 smokers. If it bothers you, let your supervisor know. They probably will tell you to just put on the mask.

Can't wear the mask if people are smoking. On 135 flights, smokers can't fly above FL350. FL410 for 91k.

Smoking affects fuel consumption and range. On a positive side, you get exposed to less UV.
