    Too big to fly XL ?

    And make sure the tall pilot is never incapacitated. That's very important. :eek:

    Citation Latitude

    I've never done Hawaii, but I'm almost positive it can't. (I ran KOAK-PHNL, and at FL430, and starting with full tanks, you can only carry a couple of people, and you're landing with under 1700 pounds. I'm fairly sure a depressurization is going to mean you're going swimming.) Even going at...

    Citation Latitude

    It's a very comfortable, capable plane that's an amazing value for the ~$16MM price. I think it's going to be extremely popular. It handles shorter runways with ease. It'll safely take off from Aspen and make a single-engine climb at MGTOW at up to 30C. Range is better than 2000 miles if it's...

    One Sky taking over Netjets!

    IBT never provided one bit (nor funded one dime) of our negotiating resources; they merely took their franchise money and let the local do all the work. I don't see any advantage at all in going back.

    Netjets VSP?

    I'll settle for retiring at the "falling asleep in the cockpit" and "refusing to load bags because of my arthritis" stage.

    Netjets in base overnights

    LOL, exactly! :D

    Netjets in base overnights

    You'll also learn to never, ever make firm plans with someone in the city in which you think you're going to sleep. I've told people I might be coming, but I don't make any real plans until I've started my rest period.

    Pet Peeves

    After the five-hundredth time checking in with SoCal "with [letter]," and still being asked to "confirm you have ATIS [letter]" every damn time, you get a little jaded about it.

    Pet Peeves

    The "sports scores over the radio" (and then the PA) guy. And his close cousin, the always-on-the-PA guy. Dude, nobody cares. STFU and fly.

    In addition to Per Diem, crews receive up to 4 catered meals per day at no cost to th

    Keep in mind, also, that the definition of "meal" is pretty broad, depending on the caterer and what they want to provide for what the company pays. It might be a nice steak with hand-made sides (rarely), or might be a single frozen breaded fish patty thrown in a box with a scoop of translucent...

    That took me a second... :laugh:

    The next vote, December 20th

    My own parents still ask me when I'll get to be a pilot. I've given up on trying to explain it for the hundredth time.

    No "huge payraise" planned for Options pilots

    I went through this at my last company when we had our first union drive. "Don't bring in outsiders," they said. "We won't be able to improve the pay if you unionize." And my personal favorite, "We'll have to give up our bidding system and switch to something else if you unionize." (WTF?) There...

    NJASAP urges Flexjet, Flight Options to #VoteUnion

    Yes, I work for Netjets, and our pilot group was affiliated with IBT for decades before we went independent seven years ago. I won't restate what Fischman posted because his posting is spot-on about why we went independent.

    NJASAP urges Flexjet, Flight Options to #VoteUnion

    Indeed. But after seeing what they did with our non-union coworkers (including sacking so many of them on the spot), I'm glad I had something to tie their hands at least somewhat.

    NJASAP urges Flexjet, Flight Options to #VoteUnion

    Having worked for both union and non-union carriers, there's truly no comparison. A union isn't a panacea, but it's far, far better than the alternative. After seeing it from both sides, I won't go back to a non-union job in aviation. At my previous (non-union at the time) carrier, the company...

    The company MAY ASSIGN up to 10% the 52cc...so they may decide 0% is all they want

    Not sure why you're talking about this here instead of our private message board, but you're misreading this completely. The company cannot assign anyone to the CC52, and the TA limits it to 10% on the CC52. They don't get to arbitrarily decide that nobody can be on it.

    NJA TA in principal reached!!!

    Whether you consider it a Cadillac plan is wholly irrelevant. That term has a specific meaning for tax purposes. It has absolutely nothing to do with copays, benefits, or coverages. It's defined as a plan with annual premiums of more than $10,200 for an individual, or $27,500 for a family. Your...
