Bershire to Sell NetJets

[NJAowner]

A few thoughts --

H25b -- you are wrong. Owners care -- not a tremendous amount -- but more than you think. Please treat accordingly or no one will care. Also, this is not floating around in owner's circles -- I just spent 5 minutes after reading all of the other posts from pilots telling WB not just how to run NJ but also how to run BH. If you step back from this board, it was really getting comical.


CGMason1 is not really posting on this board. Someone must have stolen his alias since this is the very first time in years he has not personally attacked me.

Fly safe (and many of us -- I can't say all since I do not even pretend to know close to all -- do care -- more than you think but porobably less than you think we should).

After waiting at the FBO for hours the poor dumbass gets chartered out on some piece of crap vendor that has a piss poor safety record and his catering gets lost and some of his bags don't get loaded. Now thats some funny stuff!!! HA HA.

O.K... I get what you're saying...

Only a NetJets' pilot is capable of wondering over to the FBO desk and asking the girl to bring out the catering order for trip #1234...

Only a NetJets' pilot can load some rich dude's bags on an airplane...

(I hate to be the one that informs you of this, but you guys didn't invent this kind of premium service)

Now that's some funny stuff !!! HA HA ...

BTW, I believe all NetJets charter vendors are Argus/Wyvern approved so I doubt your p%ss poor safety record suggestion would hold water either. Our particular "piece of crap" is a late model with less than 1000 TT. Most of the NetJets a/c probably accumulate that amount of time in a year or less.

BEHOLD, the single biggest career mistake in aviation... That would be operating under the assumption that you can't be replaced. You of all people should know that one. Heck, NetJets taught that hard lesson to many corporate flight departments when they shut them down.

Point taken, I'm sure most care to the point where they are protecting a major investment (their fractional share). But I doubt most care to the point they are willing to be hounded, inconvenienced, or insulted. Which is exactly the direction some of the membership seem willing to take this dispute. This will QUICKLY decay whatever support that they do have.

H25 says:

I have said it before on this board ... this applies not only to pilots and aviation but life in general. Even the President of the United States can be easily replaced and forgotten about.

Fly safe.

netjetwife, Live4flying, starman, and whoever else that resides in the land of oz. This should give you a pretty good idea of what I've been trying to say the whole time. Your "owners" could care less about you or your plight. All they care about is that the airplane is there when they show up and gets them from point A to point B. THAT'S IT, PERIOD. They do not have a contract with the pilots, their contract is with the company and owe you NADA.

Hey DIPSH!t. When have I ever said that the owners give a crap about "our plight"? Stop worrying about us and get back to your 135 job, we will be just fine.

Screen reader......Yea, my feelings are hurt now. I am going to go cry in the corner and tell my mommy. Grow up! Resorting to name calling????? That in itself is HYSTERICAL.

You could do my job!!!!!! I hear 15 times a day that the pilots wouldn't want my job and that they don't know how I do it. Come on up to the casino. I'll give you a crash course and you will be on your way. The only negative thing about the job is no crew food. Just thought I would perpare you for that.

When douche bag NJA Owner shows up for his flight and I pull out the write up that I have been carrying for the last two days and ground the airplane just before his trip.

That's nice. Why doesn't the company have the money to pay everyone fat paychecks? Because of guys like this who thinks it's funny to ground an airplane in this manner. Or the crew who decides the aircraft is grounded (just to make a point) because a fueling placard is missing on the fueling panel. Do any of you pilots realize that when the company sells a trip, it costs us (and not the owners) money? I'm not certain on all of the financial numbers, but it isn't cheap. A Falcon coast-to-coast trip can cost us $50k+. (Try this 20 times a day and it adds up.) And all because a select few of you think you will get revenge on the company for lack of pay / benefits. I'm curious to know how many millions of dollars are spent each year because a pilot decides he will 'get back' at NJ and ground his airplane. Nobody at the company has any problems whatsoever with you squawking and legitimate issues...But a placard on the outside of the aircraft? I believe that most of our 'professional pilots' don't do these things, but a few of them do. I actually had a crew call me inflight who had just left a service center saying that they would have a tire worn beyond limits when they landed in the middle of nowhere. Most of you guys are awesome and do an excellent job, but when I come in at the beginning of my day, I'm usually pretty good at guessing (by looking at your names and gateways) which aircraft will have mechanical issues. It isn't hard to figure that out.

Huh ???

If that's the case I guess the billboard outside of TEB was simply to let all of the crack dealers in on the status of your contract negotiations.

I think I would pass on this one. With all that buck seventy two time you got, I believe you.

"Wanabees, nevercoulds, and neverwills. Pretty much sums up the job of "Crew Servicer". So go ahead, SERVICE ME. NOW!! And smile while you're doing it."

So please tell me Mr Pilot, who exactly do I "wanabee"? YOU?

Geeee.....I think they actually have monkies flying planes now, don't they?

Apparently it worked on you.

Actually soon it will be a pilot and a smart dog. The pilot feeds the dog, and the dog bites the pilot if he touches anything.

Just a little humor guys...

 

[h25b]

Yep, and I'm behind people like you 110 % (that billboard was money well spent ) ... Typical response from someone incapable of intelligent argument.

You remind me of the democratic party, all of the reasonable minds have long since shut-up. You should read your own tag line...

And you remind me of a Monday Morning Quarterback. Just sit on the sidelines and watch the game, there is nothing your "110%" can do to change the outcome. As far as the democratic party comment, maybe you should follow suit.

 

[Some Dude]

Some Guy you are freaking idiot if you think that a placard missing on the outside of an airplane is no big deal. I'm sure the the FAA inspector would think different. If you have the "unsafe" or it's in the "gray area" mentality then don't work in aviation. What douche!

The belief that so called NJA Owner is a real owner is a freaking joke. He must be a real nerd to spend all his time at this site with all his money. Maybe I'll take his wife in the back on the next flight and introduce her to the mile high club, then I'll make him fix me a sandwich. What up Biiiiotch!!!
