Calling all opinions!
Our December issue of AviationCareer.net will feature articles on two important issues for pilots. Please share your opinions with us and let your voice be heard! First, we look at reinstating the National Seniority List. Is this needed in today’s hiring climate? Would...
Should Companies Charge Pilot Application Fees?
Most major airlines have stopped charging pilots application fees, but FedEx Express requires online applicants to pay $50. Is this practice fair? Or does it take advantage of aspiring pilots?

NetJets soars above the rest
An aggressive delivery schedule fuels a hiring frenzy
In October, as the fall-out from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks really began to hit the aviation industry, pilot recruiters at Executive Jet Aviation received approximately 2,000 resumes.

I am looking for current or former Great Lakes employees who can talk about their experience with the airline. Please send responses ASAP to [email protected].
Not Exactly
1200 is not competitive for much with this group.
One reason that airlines attend here is that Kit does not charge them to be there, may even pay their hotel so they have little out of pocket expense whether they want someone or not.
He was going to charge this year but had to...

It is not a matter of whether you want to or did not want to employ.
The purpose of business is to profit and trade.
The means to do that may be a hard asset, a product, a service, etc.... and employees may be needed to complete or produce the same.
If a labor agreement forces...
ok
If there is a reason that I have had some success, I think, is that as a teacher, manager, or friend that I knew the difference between ahving your arm on someone and around someone. Be it a customer or employee, I walked over and looked at it from where they stood.
The same held true for...
Over
I really think this battle is over, just the deceased has not been notified of his passing.
The majors have learned their lessons as regards scope, having wholly owned subs, and fixed costs feeders.
The train has left the station, no more letting the feeder dictate to the main...
Enigma
Enigma,
You know I have always respected your position and the fact that you post some of the best postions on here.
The fact I was trying to make is that I spent my time learning how the game was played. I too am a professional but a manager one.
When Typhoon was throwing out...
Agree
One big difference between the two is that I believe Jonathon basically created and grew these businesses up while FL just went in and grabbed what others had stashed away.
Weigh In
I might as well weigh in on the subject since my name is mentioned here so often.
My reference to how the game was played means only that you have spent your years developing your skills as a pilot. Your hours have been spent learning weather and circumstances and you call on them...
Thanks
Thanks for withdrawing the Mary thing.
My wife and I were not married during the time we are talking about. I was a COO in a Miami company and flew Eastern all the time.
A customer and I bought a plane and decided to learn to fly and all we could about aviation. In addition, I ate...
Right
I am Eddie but when your wife is not looking I borrow her clothes and become Mary S. Don't tell/
Obviously I know that organized labor in the airline business has driven up the wages. Actually one thing that really helped that to happen was regulation. During that time, there was little...
Hurt now
Mary??? Well there you finally found an insult that hurts.
Why does everything I say mean it is the way I feel. I try to point out how a variety of the parties feel.
In the state of Florida, a right to work state, the vast majority of the people do not work in a union situation...
proud
NYRANGERS
I am always proud of her.
There are some people who just have absolutely no interest in this organized labor stuff. They have a job, want to work, love it, and could not care less about the issues of a labor group they have nothing in common with. . WOW, is that a revelation...

I agree, I am talking about a very specific union at a very specific time. That is why I get upset when people think that I am stating a philosophy not talking about specific people./

I interviewed a number of people when we first started the Casa program. Ex America types...
Seriously
Boy everyone on this thread has taken this stuff a bit over board don't you think........
FD109 was playing around and so was I.
Typhoon is probably a nice guy who sees things from his perspective and obviously wants me to agree that his is the correct one.
Your are right, I am...
FD109
Well there is one that you are definitely wrong on.
I appear on and advise CNN on aviation matters. In short, I have my part of the gig, get your own.
