A few NJI Questions

[FLYLOW22]

FLYLOW your are not reading my message when I write it.......Remember back when you said "Your Welcome for the Raise"

BTW I dont have a copy of your CBA. Not interested in it. So quotes from it are like GREEK.

No Big Daddy. I said, "You're welcome for the raise."

The facts just suck huh. No need to bore you with realities in the CBA then. Press on.

Ignorance is bliss.

(OK, IM BEING SERIOUS HERE)

Seriously though...

was it the Unions or the marketplace economics that changed?

Deregulation completely changed the bottom line. Prior to 1978, if Brand X needed more money for anything (including labor increases) they passed it along the line to the goverment. The money was made available and presto... instant happiness on everyone's part.

Post dereg? Money has to come from somewhere cause the board must still get their bonus. Labor!! Yeah. Let's get it from them. It's easier than trying to control our other major cost: fuel.

FLYLOW your are not reading my message when I write it.......Remember back when you said "Your Welcome for the Raise" I said...."YOUR union did nothing for "OUR F/O's" We got nothing....no raise...nothing!! All we got was 7/7 and 1/2 of us were already on that.

What an ungrateful SOB! If we hadn't gotten what we did in our CBA, the 1/2 of you who didn't have the 7-7 would not have it now. But thanks for admitting that OUR contract improved YOUR quality of life. BTW, why don't you ask your captain about the raise HE got as a result of our contract, and the improved pay YOU will receive when you upgrade, again as a result of OUR contract.

Did anyone mention how many pilots NJI expects to hire this year off the street vs. transfers from NJA?

Anyone care to answer this?

I'm trying to get out of the regionals, and NJI looks very attractive due to their commuter policy.

Probably because you can't seem to understand a written agreement between two parties well enough without pictures of man on man action.

ts just like Mountain Troll said you dont have any more control than we do. All you can do is break an aircraft, strike etc.

Once again that is where you are wrong. Yes we can strike but only being released from a mediator and its a pretty long process to get there. The company and the union know this. Thats why they understand that its better to work with the union than fight them.

A couple of things that have happened recently have been because of union and company interaction. You see the company can talk to the union because it is talking to one pilot group. Not 700 or so different agendas like NJI has. The union is able to go to the company and say, "this needs to be fixed. We will help you fix it but it needs to be fixed right now."

Your hatred towards unions doesn't really apply in this situation because of the good working relationship with the company. We have the grievance procedure, and SBA to hear disputes. Yes the road can get a little rocky but the company has learned its better to work with us than against us.

Children, play nice or Daddy won't bring you here anymore!

Soverytired: NJI should add about 30-35 pilots in 2007 if delivery schedule remains unchanged. Of that, about 20 will be from "off the street" and the rest from NJA per Letter of Understanding in the CBA.

This single carrier you speak of stands little chance. I am betting the lawers will not even file it. To much money to gamble. But if it does get through I will just go with the flow and run the APU another eight minutes and make the money. So Whatever.

Gutshot we have been nice for six months. And it has been boring.

 

[gutshotdraw]

In this business, boring is good. At least until the layover!:beer:

Does a military guy have a chance

Yes. I know a guy who flew C-40s and C-20s in the Navy; he about 6k hrs and somthing like half a dozen internal recs and got hired at NJI.

Good luck,

We have ALL branches here. A bunch of C-130 guys also. You probley know someone. Its a great job,great people. But there is too much yard work though.

Have you ever heard of someone flying only large aircraft in the military (C-17) getting hired at NJI. I have a friend that I fly with now, but he also had 1000 GIV before the C-17.
