dsptchrNJA,
I appreciate the honest response. We have all been critical of NJA dispatch from time to time so any tool that will make your job and ours a little better I'm sure were all in favor.
As always there will be some growing pains and everyone needs to remember that.
I will admit when I heard Boisture was coming I expected great things. The fifedoms would end, we would become extrememly effecient and moral would go up.
Its sad very little has changed. Like I have said before, NJA was truly a fun job a few years ago. I do miss it.
Its hard to tell. Doing the bypass bid take a good bit of work. I imagine the union will wait until there is a larger group of guys on the property. I don't want to see guys with NJA hiring standards making 27K so I support the bids. The down side is many guys want to bid captain positions but...
Well done FLYLOW22
Thats exactly what has happened. The success of the NJA system is highly dependent on the pilots going above and beyond. Its actually a requirement for success. NetJets has forced us to just do our jobs and nothing else.
The fractional business is very, very fluid and...
I think you can figure on making around $32,000 your first year.
The upgrade question is tricky. Under normal circumstances you would not be able to hold a captain position in any airplane for probably 2 years but the pilot group has been asking all pilots not to bid the current ultra or 400XP...
Whether you want to work for NJA or not, care about the future of NJA or not, or plan on making corporate or 135 flying a career you should be interested in the outcome of the NJA negotiations.
Why? because what we do will directly and indirectly affect you. Our work rules, salaries and...
Well I am still hopefull. Did the CP interview and have 3 letters of Rec but still nothing. All the guys who were did the CP interview that day are all online by now, I was the only civie. But then I just had a military friend interview and not get it so I suppose there is no reason for who is...
Ace-of-the-base,
You must be the perfect individual who never does anything wrong and makes all the correct descisions.
Many, many people took the job at NJA because they were specifically told years ago that the contract was right around the corner. Many pilots were furloughed and accepted...
You are correct, it is a 2 way street. But you aren't there so you cannot possibly comprehend what the work environment is like. Any comments to the contrary merit little or no response. In a perfect world we could all calmly traverse our day never allowing frustration in.
Gordon24,
Leaving all opinions aside whay haven't you apllied to NJA? You wont know until you try and I know we need pilots. We have tons of Comair guys here so try and contact one of them, I am sure many would be willing to help you.
Also, with a 6 month old baby make sure you know what you...
