The gauntlet has been thrown down...

that was kinda funny reading.

 

[wacoflyr]

Whaa..? We all have dialogue like this. Realistically, we are all very safe. To suggest that this stuff is unique is ludicrous. I could say that New Jersey is the Garden State, and get the same reaction.

 

[BentOver]

well, NJA doesn't use Argus/Wyvern for it's auditing, guess that's why NJA didn't get a check:crying:

 

[Bluewanabe]

Thanks for the laugh jonjuan. It's good to laugh once in a while.

I'm not sure how you can talk about safety without looking at a fatigue mitigation policy.

 

[fischman]

My company is safer than yours.





My dad can beat up your dad too.

It looks like FLOPS is getting some money in the advertising budget.

 

[rajflyboy]

You can't just talk safety

The word means nothing

Unless you Back it Up with Facts and Realities

 

[Crash Pad]

I'm with OZ, I believe fatigue is becoming a major issue amongst the fracs. All of the players in this game have figured out how to do more with less. Scheduling is gonna push any one of us to our limits, but if you start to hint about the F bomb, they will back off. I don't know who came up with !4 and !0 all day every day, but that cat needs a swift kick to the balls.

Statistics says all fracs are safe. I don't think any frac has had a fatality. Less exposer than the airlines with the same professional crews plus newer equipment; can't go wrong. I'd put the fam on any frac anyday before a regional and the regionals are fairly safe as well.

Superstitious. I think when you brag about safety, or talk about someone else's ... you are tempting fate.

Who cares what pilots think... It's the prospective buyer (targeted reader of the ad) who is important. Most passengers are probably concerned about safety - that's why those ads are very effective - they play on peoples' natural fears about flying...

If the ad converts 5-6 would-be Netjets customers to FLOPS customers it will be more than worth it for FLOPS. Don't hate the player - hate the game!

yeah, unfortunate they dont really know the truth.

And that would be???????

 

[brokeflyer]

all that safety crap is just that...crap.

safety is their number one concern, as long as it dont cost anything.

 

[fischman]

Puhleez.

I have NO DOUBT that safety if foremost on the mind of every single pilot at NJA. Our crews have the opportunity to demonstrate that on every single flight, and we do it well.

And there you have it!

I've been furloughed going on two years.. Been flying a far less than spectacular aircraft, for a rinky dink 135 outfit....

When I return to NJA, I will be just as safe as when I left.... The company (NJA) or my current company will have had nothing to do with it. In the grand scheme of things, we all go to FSI, or Simcom, read the manuals, pass the tests..

I can't think of one thing out of the ordinary that any particular company has done for my level of safety. That covers 2 regionals, 2 Pt. 135's, and NJA over the last 10 years. Pilots are safe (or not), companies count dollars.

What makes NJA safer than charter X or, "maybe" another fractional, is that there are never any questions asked about fatiguing, spending $X on de-icing, you'll never find NJA(or another fractional) doing what those Teterboro pilots/company did. For the most part fractionals don't have the same "get the flight done at all costs" pressure that leads to cutting corners.
