I heard he's a fed now! Guess the glamor of commuting wore off.

I think I'd rather shoot myself than take a second run at the regionals. If this doesn't work out, I'll probably attempt a career change.

That's what I did, and it sucks. Groundhog day man. I'd love to get back in an airplane, but I'm not selling my soul to do it.

If you're in the bottom 3-600 I'd start firing off resumes.

Mike Maratto.... (I've seen you reading this board) You're going to be in the same unemployment line as the pilots if you management types don't jump on board and help run Hansell off. He WILL kill NJA.
 
Things are good.

Take your 5 pound bucket and lay it on top of the banana hammick.

I'm sure it will stay upright.

What's this Mike's handle here? Be nice to have a new guy to f$$k with:beer:
 
Two breaking news announcements!!:D

Jetblue receieves approximately 1000 Netjet applications. (completely made up but probably pretty accurate!)


And the big one....Netjets management has completed their PLANOGRAM on 8/26.... The PLANOGRAM is related to the onboard snacks... Which begs the question...what the ******************** is a PLANOGRAM and did it cost more than the study on square plates?


Finally....besides my other interests in life, I would also really enjoy seeing RTS somehow get NJA back. And it would be my greatest joy to see him fire every last one of the guys there.. Hell, if he'd let me I'd like to be the security that escorts them off property.

Sorry, but you're going to have to do you own homework there. I believe it's a TOS violation, and flat out disrespectful.

Didn't know if he was on the dickhead side or a descent guy? If he's a good guy but stuck in the NJA management mess that's cool. I never heard of Mike M.? Or what he does......

On the other hand, if someone like Eyer or the General happened to be on these boards I'd rat them out in a heartbeat.

Mark was a really nice guy, I'm glad he landed a job at the FAA. I personally used what I thought Commutair was good for at the time and got my first 121 job, probed I could make it thru training and went to one of the 'better' regionals out there. It worked for me, do I want to spend my career here, no way. At least though where I'm at I can make north of 100k as a lifer and get most of the days off I want. I know you spent several yrs at UCA and I feel for you. Theres way better jobs even at the regionals than commutair, in fact it was the worst of my 3 part 121 jobs.
 
It'll be awesome!!!

Provided of course everyone ignores out of sight fuel prices, eliminating smaller cities, parking RJs, reducing frequencies, and a pesky economy that insists on tetering on the edge of a double dip recession.
 
AA retired 111 pilots on 9/1. They are expecting another 500 to go before the end of Oct. (I think). I'm no believer in this supposed "huge" pilot shortage, but there will be some hiring going on.

I think the economy / fuel prices are going to cancel out a true hiring boom.
 
I personally think anyone hired after the '05 contract was unneeded. We never took the deliveries they anticipated and ended up overstaffed. Throw in the economy plunging down the crapper and this is the mess we have. I don't think we'll ever see recalls or at least the numbers we would like to see. Also you have to consider that the clowns running this show now are trying to do more with less. Every time I down a plane for a hard write-up, I'm on an airline to another. They're testing the waters. Just the way I see. I hope I'm wrong.
