Frac furloughs...

[netjetwife]

but where did netjetwife go???

Here to express my condolences to the furloughed NJ pilots. Their plight has been a focus for my family all year and will continue to be a topic of concern. I'm proud of the work NJASAP has done on their behalf, including my husband's contribution. Kudos to all involved with the Furlough Working Group and to the NJ pilotgroup that made it possible to keep their fellow pilots employed this long. Considering the strong support demonstrated in the Voluntary Measures, I fully expect to see many participants if/when NJASAP sets up a donation fund for the furloughed pilots and their families. It is that level of camaraderie/concern that justifies the time NJASAP leaders and volunteers give to the cause.

If there are any other FI members who have been furloughed, as well, since my last post my sympathy goes out to you and yours also. Tough times for sure. Hang in there everyone. NJW

...Talking about a closed thread, ....

By the time I read your posted question directed at me, the thread had been closed so I'll answer it here. "You mean NJW isn't going to support those out of work?????"

They will definitely have my moral support, but aside from the obvious my family made a sizable donation by participating in the Voluntary Measures that delayed the furlough for many months. We are discussing the payroll deduction we'll contribute when a fund is set up for those affected. I trust your sarcasm aimed at me doesn't extend to those NJ folks who, likewise, participated in the VM program and will hopefully make further donations to a good cause. I do believe that if all the NJ families who are financially able to will help out that together we can all make a big difference in the lives of the furloughed pilots/families. Thanks for giving me the opening to make a public pitch for contributions, Ultrarunner...

Glad to help. But you don't need the public to help. It's the unions responsibility to financially back those on furlough, not the public!

For those who care:

Here is what happened. I will describe it without violating any "real" rules.

I couldn't agree more and if you'll notice I had only encouraged NJ folks to contribute. However, my pitch was made on a public message board, hence the phrase. :erm: Like others connected to NJASAP who follow the issues closely, I'm well aware of the Union's responses, including financial ones. Rest assured my family takes Union responsibility very seriously. I'm confident that furloughed NJ pilots will receive more help and info than any of their counterparts at the other fracs.

hey its news ,talk about it all you want,its a free country.

You all know that there is another site started a few years ago by former FI members which is great for getting away from the troll's, poser's and NJWife types.

Much more PROfessional for PILOT's looking to communicate in the WORLD wide web. More than 6000 verified pilot members and none of this moderator censorship. Mostly grownups policing themselves but occasionally it gets a bit stupid, hey it's the internet after all.

Sorry for the cryptic reference but the mod's here find it necessary to block the web address.

This will probably get me booted off here permanently too. What does that tell you??

 

[flyzimex]

Rice, schhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. We want to keep it "uninfected", don't we?

 

[netjetwife]

A few years ago I was invited by the founders of a new forum to join them, but in deference to opinions like those posted above (even though my posting generates much more positive responses than negative) I declined. So no need to worry about your "secret". It's safe with me....

Was this about someone stealing that airplane? If its public news and knowledge, mods just can't block posts because it hits close to home, or its a buddy or something. PUBLIC BOARD+NEWS=PUBLIC NEWS.

NJW, where were you? Go back!

Same to you CHERRY, when you pop your cherry, you can be here, untill then.......go back!

 

[clydefastly]

You need some serious help with your insults. Until you can complete a thought, and type it into something that makes sense, go away. Oh and NJW is a big girl, she can stand up for herself.

 

[cherry20's]

Same to you CHERRY, when you pop your cherry, you can be here, untill then.......go back!

I've popped many Cherry motors!!! 6 to be exact... Thats including 2 actually V1 cuts. Can I play with you now Mr. Never had an engine failure? Go back to your strike hole.

I'm begining to think your NJW FLOPS fling... Don't let her husband find out. :smash:

It was. The stupid thing is the poster OUTED HIMSELF on another thread earlier this year. Why delete posts now that reference the felony and the person?

Hmmm...I'm not sure this is something I'd be touting publicly. You're either someone with incredibly bad luck or someone has been trying to tell you something. And you're not listening :erm:

 

[cherry20's]

You've obviously never heard of Cherry Air... The 2 V1's were birds and could have happened to anyone, just bad luck I guess! Most of the others were test flights that had some "internal turbine" problems... lol. And then a couple precationary shutdowns with loss of oil pressure a few more times that I'm not counting. I guess If someone was trying to tell me something, I couldn't hear them over the
CF-700 2D2's... They are some loud SOB's you know!

 

[ProFracPilot]

I couldn't hear them over the CF-700 2D2's... They are some loud SOB's you know!

They're loud, alright. Unless you make the mistake of hitting both engine anti-ice switches simultaneously, at just the wrong time. They can go from loud to really quiet pretty doggone quick.

 

[cherry20's]

That must be an interesting story! Can't say thats every happened to anyone I know... PM me the details if you get a few mins would ya.

As do I.

I have remained very quiet lately, it is depressing to see pilots loosing jobs once again. In the 20 years I have been involved in aviation... Someone has always been getting a beating.

I hear that amigo. A uniform switch with a guaranteed government pension is starting to sound pretty good to me too. Except they wouldn't let me carry my 1911 if I did make the switch. You rolling the highways yet or still training?
