My College roommate

[UncleKenn]

I want to thank my college roommate, VP of Operations at Flight Options Joe S. for the kind words he sent to the Flight Options pilots last weak. Joe and I have come a long way together since our days at Notre Dame and I know he always has my (and ha ha, if he knows what's good for him his) best interests close to his heart.

Just like Rick H. at Flexjet (although ultimately not quite as dispensable as Rick) Joe is doing great work with the "attorney" I hired to write these messages to the pilots. When he said "this Company's generosity is astounding." I gotta tell ya, my heart just fluttered.

After all, I've been able to get away with not reinstating the 401k, giving all the good new airplanes to my friends (honoring pilot seniority is for wussies) and, from what I hear, paying the Flight Options pilots less than what flight attendants over at Net Jets will soon make, he is still able to make me look like the great guy I think I am.

Thanks again Joe, you're my best pall.

he said "this Company's generosity is astounding."

What do we want, to always be #2? If the company were truly generous, they could have opened contract negotiations two years ago and gotten away with a smaller compensation package. Now that Netjets is pulling away, it's going to cost more in the long run. So Joe, I also have to thank you!

Netjets is pulling away?

You mean pulling up lame. Somebody please put this company out of MY misery.

Last person out the door please turn out the lights.

Better work rules, industry standard pay, and recognize and respect seniority.....


For starters.

Don't forget delusions of grandeur. The ones that can't get hired a major want 747 Capt/FO pay, and the ones that have no turbine PIC want automatic upgrades. Also to work 5 on 9 off and make $200k+.

I didn't know they were college roommates.

Maybe it's good to be friend of Ken after all. Why knock what is obvious?

Rick was is and will be the best thing to ever happen at flex. He isnt going anywhere. Sorry. Union will make him fired he told me himself so while I don't like Ken I like Rick better so I vote no.

I was once upon a time a yes vote but not if it means no Rick. A vote for the union is a vote to have him ax. They told him union vote is all up to him. Straight from his mouth. So if you like Rick vote no.

That's not in what I read. Where is that in new contract. Net jets or flops?

It's not in the contract, it's what some folks want. We all want $1 mil a year, but it's not practical.
