Crappy Pay Offered At Nja

[Diesel]

man you really are an idiot.

I'll explain this slowly since FS2004 is your job. MX will not fix anything unless it's written up. It's a paperwork thing. So lets take brakes. Brakes have a device that show you how much pad is left. As this pin get's closer to being flush you need to replace the brakes.

So you call mx and say we're getting pretty tight on this brake. It will last the day but can you guys do a break change tonight while we're in PBI. MX says is the pin flush? You say no but it will be i'm just letting you know. Mx says write it up when it's flush. sigh

So the next day you do one leg. The pin is flush after that landing and it's time to write up the plane.

I could explain my job to you all day but it's not going to help. So before you run your mouth about something you know NOTHING about. You don't even have the stones to say what you DO. You probably don't even work for NJA.

But i'm bored and i don't mind explaining my job in very simple slow terms.

 

[Bad Monkey!]

And just for fun, why don't you try wearing your pager/blackberry for 30 days straight and be on call like most corporate pilots?

Apples to apples...

Actually troll if you looked at how much they work compared to how much we work you would see that we do way more work than a corporate pilot. Sorry you're stuck on the management concept that if you're strapped to a pager then you get more pay.

Take a breath mint, you have dookie breath.
The truth hurts.

Happy Holidays!!!!!!

Pardon the hijack of the thread -

It is astonishing how often this same scenario plays out at (probably) all the fractionals. I've tried to do my best to assist scheduling by contacting maintenance with an issue, usually something that is intermittent or the worn brake/tire scenario: "Here's what I'm seeing, it is working / serviceable AT THE MOMENT. I suggest either you (maintenance) choose where to fix it, or the airplane will choose. And in accordance with Murphy, the airplane finally breaks for good in BFE. We see a large number of ferry permits being issued or mx being performed in BFE for this very reason. Either one usually results in an owner disservice. The cost associated with not heeding the advice of the flight crews - in just this one instance - has to be huge. In essence what I'm offering with this advice is an opportunity for both scheduling and maintenance to plan ahead and not be reactionary. I fail to understand why, but I really think they like bleeding the company in this manner.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled squabble.

Try apples to apples not apples to oranges. If you were to compare a police SGT to a pilot then you would have to move up to chief pilot.

If you want to compare the principle to a pilot then you move to the director of operations.

Why don't you post what a "line" officer makes? I believe FG's point was right on the mark.

The Truth Hurts

TTC

Actually, no. I use police sergeant and principal (as well as HS teacher, which you failed to note) because for "pilot" it's actually "Captain." Not "First Officer." If you want to use the lowest payscale/responsibility for your argument, I can do that, too. Does the truth hurt?

Is that apples-to-apples enough for you? Feel that sting? That's the Truth, f**kin' with you.

 

[NJACMH]

Wow, look at all this bickering! Seems to me if you don't like the pay then you better get yourself educated and find a new career.

Pilots are dime a dozen these days.

 

[gunfyter]

This is typical of the disrespect in CMH and Woodbridge.

Do you have more education than me?

Doubtful.

DING, DING, DING We have a new contestant.

So tell him Bill, what does our new Troll win?

Thanks BoB, our new troll will get 7 days and 6 nights of getting his arse beat on this board. Our Troll also gets a free lifetime supply of suppositories to help him contain all the company kool-aid he has been drinking. And finally BoB our new Troll will receive all the facts from the union boys down at 1108.

Thanks Bill.

And now Mr. Troll would you like to double your lies by spinning the wheel of disaster?


A word of advice- go away now and stay out of a fight that you have no control over before yoy get hurt.

 

[NJACMH]

Yeah, give me a double there Bad Monkey ,

Wow, already resorting to name calling. That's the professionalism we see at Bridgeway and Woodbridge on a daily basis.

I must of hit a sore spot. LMAO

This was funny, but you are just a bit off....

It was supposed to be a "washer and Dryer, chosen especially for you."

C'mon you always just miss the mark-

 

[Fracster]

Looks like Troll, family guy or one of the other ones got themselves a second log in. Real creative there kiddies.

 

[NJACMH]

Sorry, but I am not troll or family guy.

I just would like to know how you guys can sit back and complain about a company that is supporting a wage for you?

Whenever I don't like a company or need a change. I take my credientials and experience and leave for a greener pasture.

I see so many here who tell others not to come here, but they are probably the ones who will jump the fence and still want to work once the strike happens.

I don't care who you are or what profession your are in. If you don't like it get the he?? out.

This company is going to run so much better once the union is gone and we have employees who want to work.

What do you do for a living? And what do you have to gain by being mean-spirited to people you do not even associate with?

Try again...

Nice job of selective editing Grump.

Why did you choose Los Angeles and New York City for your comparisons?

This seems odd, since less than 5% of NetJets pilots live in those cities.

Wouldnt a better comparator be the national average? Especially since NetJets pilots can, and do, live all over the country?

To save you the time...here's the figures for you. (by the way, the source is monster.com)

National Averages.....25th%....Median......75th%
High School Teacher..$38,015...$47,979...$56,356
Principal...................$56,891...$69,376...$84,413
Fire Fighter...............$27,709...$36,944...$46,181
Highway Patrol...........$32,553...$40,686...$49,183
Police Patrol Officer....$37,120...$44,547...$52,554
Police Sergeant..........$50,003...$56,861...$63,679

NetJets Pilot..............$57,996...$60,984....$64,188

Looks like my original point is still valid. So, since the pilots make more than teachers, firefighters, and police officers, is Steel willing to give his excess salary to charity and pass on that reasonable raise? After all, we want everything to be fair and people paid according to responsibility...
