Well thats an unplitfting story, a little corny but uplifting:)
jetwash,
One of the main problems with the union drive at Flops is lack of leadership. Options temporarily succeeded in preventing a union by terminating those 4 pilots. Folks must remember that they did settle and hopefully...
Voice of reason has nothing to do but pick at other peoples posts. Dude, I don't know you so don't take this personal but its pretty sad that all you do is make fun of other peoples posts. Atleast come up with something remotely constructive to say otherwise everyone will just assume you are the...
The trend may continue to get longer. As the SOP's change many of the taxi procedures, as in the Hawker, will now be on the before taxi check. I believe they will be going to more of an airline style checklist where flaps and things of that nature are done prior.
But then again we still have...
There arent any performance differences with the XP-C. I think we have like 12 or 14 but I am not sure. We just got another 6 seater the other day so now we have 3 of those. All the 800's we get now should be XP-C's.
There are a few differences between some of the new XP-C's and the older ones...
The "leadership" at NJA does not like to be told what to do. You can promise efficiency, monitary savings, and better QOL for all but if they didnt think of it then it isnt happening.
Due to this attitude a strike is very, very likely. No one wants it but NJA does not think ahead, it simply...
In another brilliant move by NJA the new 800XP-Collins have additional baggage located where the 3 place bench was. The bench served many purposes. The new storage area is the same and the one the crew uses for its bags and it holds very little additional space.
The new storage isnt large...
I could totaly see this guy being first in line for PFT just because he will be happy flying a jet! Moron!
Its people like this who kill the industry. They dont understand people have bills to pay, mortgages, kids tuition, medical expenses.
Ignorance sure is bliss when you a fooking moron!
For what its worth fellas here is how we do it at Nutjets. We have to be in the blocks by 13:30 so you have 30 minutes to put the plane to bed by 14:00 and get to the hotel. No reasonable but company policy. If we are running late sometimes we can get the company to extend the time a little. Our...
AirBear8,
The company knows where you are at all times. After every leg we call in to give the times of the last flight and check on changes for the next leg.
You cant go home because you will rarely, if ever, have an overnight at your gateway. If you do then go home if you dont live to far...
John,
Were in negotiations. What are we negotiating? Well did you just crawl out from under a rock? Just kidding. Do a search but here is a quick a dirty.
Pay, Schedules, benefits, retirement, gateways, per diem, over time, and generaly everything.
ProFracPilot,
Can you explain how Flops is scheduling you with 135 Regs? I was told that after 10 hours of rest you can still be in the hotel and contactable but the time spent in the hotel is not counted towards duty. Can you elaborate?
From and NJA perspective it could take time. After all, changing from a non union carrier to a union is not an easy descision. People are not sold on unions. I am glad we have one a NJA and it has proved its worth in certain situations.
The problem Flops will run into are many of the same we...
As an NJA guy we have a 2 hour show before an airline and it counts towards your 14 hour duty day.
Can you guys clarify what your 90 min show counts or doesnt count to?
Just curious.
Let's see, they replace one local for another and this is great for the entire industry? So far they have not accomplished anything.....
Spoken with true ingnorance.
Local 284 has ruled the NetJets pilot group with tyrannical ineptitude. To date we have not been able to direct funds to...
I personaly dont have the energy to do much after sitting around for 14 hours knowing I have to be back at work 10 hours later.
It is certainly punitive at this stage but given their track record punitive will turn into the norm. They will become so used to us being available that once the...
