new world order.......
Wait till the current gov absorbs your 401k into the social security system and pays you 3%...... like the demos want to.:angryfire
cost
Dont kid yourself...... EVERYTHING is paid for by the customer in one way or another..... How do you think we make a profit?
Free ferry? hahahaaaaw thats crap, they pay for it all...........
Nja-nji
The majority of NJI pilots are mature and very experienced, and want their jobs to remain unchanged.
I'll bet they do! especially when it comes to laying off pilots.
No one really knows what this recession will bring nor how it will effect the 900lb gorilla.... but it can happen...
good job?
jet airways........
maybe not, they have just parked 4 of their 777s. and talking about moving several more to Turkey.
Actually their service is good, but like all airlines they got some kinks in their pilot program.
Seasons......
I dont get to fly the line as much as everyone else but a few weeks ago got to TEB (thats 3 times in the past year) and I asked the gal that is our greeter, howsitgoing? She said a LOT slower than normal for this time of year............:(
A sign of things to come...
the nja electronic expense report
The problem with the whole thing, as gutshot sez, It may take you up to two weeks to submit or finish the entire report.
Whereas using the old sys, I was done in a half hour sitting in the airport waiting for my plane home on my last day.......
Some...
hiring
Dont know about the hiring bit...but there has been a lot of crabbing on the union board about very highly qualified personal recommended current pilots getting turned down..several, without even an interview.
Our flying has slowed considerably. It does so this time of year (summer)...
I am curious as to why the T/R's being out means they knew it was coming.
Ck list calls for them to be idle at 60 kts and stowed at 40kts
Not picking a fight, just curious of the logic in that statement. If I made a normal landing and my nose gear suddenly collapsed, my T/R's would be out too...
...Note TRs are still out, which means they saw it coming but couldnt stop and kept them out.
I flew with one of our FOs last week and they had a brake lock up and the plane turned 90 degrees to the runway before it got stopped....
******************** happens .... deal with it.
I've been told the previous attempt was scrapped because we would have needed at least 3 or 4 globals to support the 1 fully sold plane and that cash outlay was just too big to do at the time.
Thats what happend in 1999. Dum azz mgmt told the clients that if the GEX that they bought a piece...
Nji
Word on the board is NJI will be assimilated in OCT... this is coming from the NJI pilots which were told to them by their leaders. No offical word from our (NJA) leaders ..yet.
So... it wont make any diff to which you apply to since its taking months and months to get any action.
I know its tough out there so here is what just came up on our zippy new union board....
This is from one of our other pilots, so Im quoting him but not word for word, take it for what its worth.
He said he sat with 4 new hires going through indoc at the Thursday night dinner last week while...
DFW vs DAL
The company was just as stupid, because 90 to 95% of my flying is out of DFW but yet Im based at DAL. This means the company has to PAY for a cab both ways when they airline me out of DFW and give me an extra 3 hours to be able to do it.
In the old contract, the company used to...
flops wants you to fly it..
You can count on Skanza and B19 to see the nefarious union in action. The truth is every avaition manager will put out a memo to all pilots stating that you will without fail write up every discrepancy where and when it occurs. That is apparently a facade for the...
