AIN article on Netjets Consolidation

And besides Obama did not win the election. I am just still sleeping and jetlaged as soon as I wake up it will be chilly outside and the election will still be two weeks away. I am not in denial.

You won't wake up from that nightmare for about another three and a half years.....

Do you GOP dorks have to turn every thread political?

Obama SAVED us from Bush. The previous administration left us so close to the edge of the abyss it would scare you silly. I'm not saying Obama saved us, but McCain would have drove us off the edge with more of the same GOP agenda. So, in the sense that Obama won and prevented the GOP from advancing more of the status quo, I guess Obama did save us.

You would ALL be out of a job if the GOP won. The super rich are only super rich if the poor give them their money. In the big picture view, Bush saved America by being so bad that Obama HAD to win.

How do you not see that? Pure racism? Ignorance? TV stuck on Fox?

I do not turn these threads political. I just respond in defense to those that attack, without cause, the Dems for the problems obviously caused by the GOP.

Only a few know what will happen and until they release the grand plan we just drive on.

I don't think they even know yet.

Here's my take...
RS says flying is down 26% or the equivalent of 700 pilots, and we get around 600 pilots worth in voluntary measures. That leaves an overstaffing of 100, not assuming a pickup in flying, which I think has occurred.

Furloughing 100 pilots is simply not economically feasible unless greater numbers are foreseen or the furlough is very long, also devastating to morale...it won't happen. Furloughing more than that could cause understaffing problems in the very near future.

HR is notoriously bad at predicting pilot staffing requirements. You simply need to look at furloughs and hiring patterns at the airlines. The only company that hasn't had issues is WN, the only company that hasn't furloughed!

My prediction: no furloughs, and hiring by the end of next year...count on it!!!

So if NetJets lost all this money and Rich is now out the door, what happens to the business model? What happens to Marquis? I can't help but wonder if the next moves (besides the inevitable cost cutting) will be around product offerings....

Ahh, but what do I know.

This is the most glaring piece of ignorance that I've seen in a long time.

What makes you think either of the two had any influence on our current circumstance? (Please provide some resources in your answer.)

The President of the United States is the most expendable person in the World!!! You can simply remove them, replace them with another warm body, and the good old USA keeps ticking along. This was proven with the assassination of JFK.

This isn't a dictatorship, and when it comes to overall policy we don't have one guy running the ship. We have a whole country of citizens guiding its course. So, if you want someone to blame for the failings of the US, then look no further than your closest mirror.

Remember...with liberty comes responsibility. If this nation ever decides to fix itself, the people need to take responsibility for their actions.

It was less of a political statement than me just welshing (or not had a convenient time) on a bet. So chill EFIS dude. But rest assured I am ultra right.

Sorry guys, some guy that had been drinking hacked into my account.

It just ticks me off every thread that laments the sorry state of our industry has somebody then come on and blame Obama.

Our industry has been screwed up for more than 7 months and I think we can ALL agree to that.

I have always bypassed such topics as this one, but I must toss my thoughts out there.

You honestly can sit there and tell us here that we (the country) is going to be better off with BHO in office? Not to mention a DEM Congress too. I am here to tell you that if this country accepts a health care system operated by the gov't. for the masses then we will all be doomed. The cost will so high that every Amercian will be paying for it. Most will be forced to use it and will not have much choice either. Read some of the 1,000+ document for yourself. Some of the country's current situation started back in NOV '98 and continued right through the Bush years. It is a group effort and it HAS continued right through this day. Read the quick-facts I posted below. If you tell me that this are not true then the GAO and the Congressional Budget Office lies.

Key points about budgets of late:

The U.S. government ran a budget deficit of $180.6 billion in July, marking the 10th straight month of red ink, the Treasury Department reported Wednesday.


The monthly deficit pushed the cumulative deficit so far this year up to $1.26 trillion -- slightly more than the Obama administration's been projecting for all of the 2010 fiscal year. Fiscal 2010 begins Oct. 1.

Outlays amounted to $332 billion last month, the Treasury said, up 26% from July 2008. Receipts were $151 billion, down from $215 billion in June and 6% lower than a year ago.

For the year to date, total receipts hit $1.7 trillion, down 17% from a year ago, while outlays stood at about $3 trillion, up 21%.

President Obama is exceeding all their fears on fiscal and economic issues. After promising a "net spending cut" during the campaign and denouncing "the most fiscally irresponsible administration in history," he has sent federal spending and the deficit soaring into the stratosphere. Meanwhile, he’s not delivering what some of his voters hoped for on social issues.
