Well, I can tell you that if it wasn't for 1108, we at NJA would either have no contract or we'd have a shitty one. Teamsters didn't help a lot. We actually had to fight them a bit. But now that things are squared away in that regard, 1108 is great to have on our side. 1108 is NOT a Teamsters...
Want proof??? Here it is..... copied directly from the new CBA.
19.2(a) General Description
The Company shall offer to all pilots in each aircraft fleet a schedule that shall consist of
seven (7) consecutive workdays followed by seven (7) consecutive days off, except as
provided elsewhere in...
The minimum qualifications will NOT lower. Actually the competetive qualifications have increased quite a bit recently. I heard that 5000 hours is now competetive
The BBJ is an oddity at NJA. That plan didn't really work. There may be a market for the BBJ but not sure about as a fractional.
How are we making money? Well, I just got an email from managment that stated that over two days, Dec. 26 and 27 we flew almost 1200 revenue legs. Seems like a...
Ah, we had this exact same crap at NJA before our CBA. Of course, it went on for 4 years. Management is busting their buns to get you a little something??? Yeah, I'm sure that's the case. It's more probable that your managment is busting their buns on more ways to keep you hanging by a...
Just rumor but I hear that there is a new president at Cessna. I hear that the relationship between Santulli and Cessna is much better and that NJA will be buying Citation Shares. However, due to the size of my brain (see avatar), I could be wrong.
There's no doubt that the GS openings will be due to pilots going back to the line. I talked to a couple of them myself and they will go back to the line if the pay doesn't go up.
I forsee that pretty soon, the only line pilots teaching ground school will be brand new FOs turned to teaching or...
I have a feeling that there will be a few Falcon FO positions avaialbe. We just had a bunch of them bid out into Captain slots in the XL. The cush job is over boys!!!! HA!
Please don't tell me that you chose the Ultra over the X!!!! As someone who flew them both here, I can say that if you did, you will be kicking yourself for a loooong time. The X does work hard. But so does the Ultra, the Excel and most fleets.
If you have a choice between the Falcon and...
Over the next three years, NJA pilots will be flying Gs at NJI. Also, I'm not positive but I'm willing to bet that NJI pilots will be offered 1108 membership. Treatment of NJA pilots at NJI and how NJI pilots treat 1108 will have a say in determining future pilot integration into the seniority...
As an NJA pilot, I am hoping that Flex, Options and Shares all get better pay and work rules as a reaction to our TA. It can only be good for all of us in the industry.... I say this even though I have taken tons of crap about my union and crappy contract from pilots in other frax
I've talked to some NJI pilots since the TA. It seems that the older pilots and the ones that have been there the longest are the most afraid. The newer pilots seem to be "listening intently." The same "A team" situation exists at NJI that existed at NJA and probably exists at the other frax...
You asked if 17 hours was the norm?
Answer: NO
The only way that the company can EVER schdule a crew for over 14 hours of duty is with the crew's permission. It's in the contract. I NEVER volunteer to go over 14.
