Flight options penalizes pilots

[DeezNuts]

Why is management penalizing it's pilots for time missed during the hurricanes?

 

[beechjetpilot1]

How exactly were you penalized? I went home from a rotation a day early because of one of the hurricanes and was charged a day of vaction/sick time. I thought that was fair. I asked to go home and they sent me. Why shouldn't they charge me a day?

 

[Starman]

NetJets pilots were taken off the schedule with no sick time charged.

 

[Majik]

NetJets pilots were taken off the schedule with no sick time charged.

Eventually...
The first pilots that wanted to go home before the hurricanes hit were told that they could not use sick time, since technically they were not sick. Hart told them their pay would be docked if they elected to go home to look after their family and property.
Didn't take too many angry emails and phone calls before someone above Hart decided that was too hardline, hence, the docked pay mandate was rescinded, they were taken off the schedule and not charged sick time.

Hey Options/Travel Air Pilots, let us know if you are interested in getting Hart back. I promise we'll make you a good deal

Hart may be both of our problem if the rumors are true!

What rumours?

 

[LR45JI]

The rumors have been around a long time.....where there is smoke there is normally fire!

Latest version:

A.) Flight Options used equipment moves to Swift and/or EJM.

B.) Flight Options/Ray. new equipment merges with NetJets.

it's true.

 

[1900cpt]

and how do u know?! just curious

 

[learflyer]

I don't, just bored waiting on pax.

 

[FracCapt]

it's true.

How many times do I have to say it....IT'S NOT TRUE! Here's the TRUTH!

Nahill is buying NJA. He will then be merging NJA, Flight Options, and Swift - whom he and Ricci are now co-owners of. Oh, and by Swift, I mean the trucking division...not the flight department. Once this is done, all those pilots that are not in the top 200 at NJA, or top 125 at Flight Options(ya know, the "percentage" integration method), will lose their seats to the much more senior truck drivers. Those people will then be forced to drive a truck - new or "pre owned", based on what you flew at your respective company previously. Those in the top 50% of the new seniority list will get to drive the pimp daddy Freightliner Condos with 2 tons of chrome, and the bottom 50% will get to sit in the passenger seat, work the radio(AM only), talk on the CB, and unload the freight. Enjoy your new career!

 

[DeezNuts]

Management is docking flight crews their vacation time (time earned for tenure with the company, which can be cashed out upon leaving the company) as opposed to reserve time which is intended for "sick time". Management has made it clear that had crews called in sick as opposed to being honest about their intentions, reserve time would have been used instead. Why can management not make a compromise?

Truck drivin'

Ohhhh, that's perfect!

Glad I kept my Class A Drivers with Haz-Mat, along with my ATP.

Altho I fear the DOT medical may be tougher than my last First Class with EKG.

But not before the new "pimp daddy freightliners" are renamed Freightliner XP's.


"You still got the number to that truck drivin' school, Mav?"

Dude....I've gotta say....I laughed my a$$ off at that one!

 

[WrknStff]

Maybe just chalk that up to the cost of choosing to live in Florida. Beyond all the other costs of picking that state as a residence that is.


Oh and thanks again for that whole election thing.

 

[DeezNuts]

It's pretty obvious your a ricci loving, kool aid drinking, weak puke. Go back to your Barbie jet and pretend your a pilot.

 

[WrknStff]

What a bitter fuk this guy is. Must be a real joy on an 8 day rotation. Probably one of those guys who never has a regular partner because he's such a royal asswipe. Luckily the ignore function was developed specifically for guys like this.

He comes across as bitter and pissed off at the world....you come across as a douchebag...it's all perception, though. I'm sure you would be just as much of a joy to spend a tour with.

 

[hawkercpt]

what morons.


I need a beer!

 

[JetCapt69]

Round for the house?

what morons.


I need a beer!

How bout a pitcher? Sounds like third grade all over again.

 

[waveoff]

I wish I was a douchebag. It'd be a surefire way to get some coochie.

 

[dime line]

yo just tell em your a pilot that might help

 

[waveoff]

Don't I have to sing to them first and THEN tell them I'm a pilot?
