Citation Shares Question

[dime line]

You haven't been to ASE for a couple of days then. 55.00 will get you breakfast.

...but I've never gotten everything I wanted so why start now.

Too easy, never mind.

How's the CJ3 Doing?

Off topic, but how are the CJ3 guys enjoying the new aircraft? Any opinions out there? I parked near one at IAD recently and I was impressed. I've heard that it performs well and that it has some new avionics improvements...

How many more CJ3s are expected this year? What's the likelihood that a newhire will get a CJ3 slot vs. a Bravo, CJ1, Excel slot? Is there a greater likelihood given the delivery schedule?

Now don't say you heard this from me, but, I heard you CS folks wont have to pay for your crew meals any more after Netjets buys Citation Shares. Thats right, free food, and can you say staple.

Why so much hate man? I never understood the flying biz, everyone tries to say they work for the best company, they get the best benifits, when all in all, a job that is good and feeds the family is the most important. I have never seemed the need to tell someone in person or on message boards that their company sucks, or the pilots are bad. Its good that people are working. These forums are terrible, people use them to take aggressions out on other people, its actually really sad.

I never worked for a company that paid for my health care/meals 100%, and I never intend to plan on that. It just seems a little too much. Who knows how long that will last for, but enjoy it while it does. Every other industry is laying people off, many because of rising health care costs. Im very happy at CS, im happy to make a good living, good schedule, and great people.

So holy crap, stop bitching at eachother!

Chewy, I couldnt agree more with you. Perhaps you can tell your pals trash and bogie what you just told us. It is your own that have said that "CS pilots are the best" and that your "service is second to none and better than NJA's." Truly, who cares.........as long as we get a check, right??? We've been down this road before, where were you then???

No, they dont, but they were giving you guys a bad name. We know better though.

I guess you were talking about me, huh? I wasn't giving anybody a bad name, I am just proud to be part of the CitationShares family. We only hire the BEST!! No second rate people here.

I know.

 

[gunfyter]

Are you guys getting the Citation XII?

 

[buttercup]

If Citation Shares is the best how come they blatantly disregard 91K rules in regards to rest? I've spoken to many CS crews who have said the company can call them after ten hours and assign them a trip, even after alloting them more time than that inbetween duty assignments.

 

[Ilikeairplanes]

6,000 hours is competitive for that job? Give me a break. If I had that much time I wouldnt be working there. Unless it was 6000 hours in a 172

Don't worry, you won't have to worry about turning them down.
