The results of the survey conducted by the Wilson Center for Public Research shortly after the holidays, showed a very high degree of unity among the pilots. Understandably, that information must remain a close secret of the negotiating
committee. As badly as all of us want to know those numbers, you can be sure that the company would want to be privvy to them even more. I am pleased to say that I haven't heard a thing, which is as it should be! Next week they begin negotiations in earnest--stayed tuned!

Waiting with you,

And where are the NJA pilots on the Gulfstream issue that was causing such a stir a few months back?

Don't count on any massive increase. Just my opinion based on the VERY LONG HISTORY of Nutjets CONSISTENTLY paying the lowest wages in the entire industry. DON'T COME HERE BASED ON WHAT YOU THINK THE NEW PAYSCALE IS...EXPECT $30k/year up to year 5 and if it DOES get better, it will be an UNEXPECTED and pleasant surprise. The FO's currently on FO pay will be there for a VERRRRRY LONGGGGG TIME ! Standing bids for upgrade will be the new rule - I can almost guarantee this. That's ALOT of FO's in line to upgrade over the next 5 to 10 years. IF you do come here, PRAY for at least a LIVABLE wage....the current one IS NOT !

Are Ultra upgrades still at a few years or are they getting better or worse?

The word for future capt upgrades is "Non-existant" The last few nids have gone so high it is clear that Capt's are changing fleets for QOL issues...

If you come to Netjets you must expect to be working on under provisions of the current CBA...No rumors or guesses will feed your family....

$27K first year...No exteneded days and $38.60 perdiem...that's it folks good luck...

I interviewed recently and was told in the koolaid session that the "Pilots sent a resounding message to the company voting down the TA 80% unified".

 

[netjetwife]

Well, actually, it was 82%.......but that's close enough. Kinda hard for them to hide numbers like that! And that was with a 98% participation rate!!

We're all still here, well execpt for the 15 that resigned to go elsewere in Jan. There are more pressing issues to get through before we tackle the 'Single Carrier' lawsuit. Specificly, the negotiation restart, next week. The dissaffiliation from 284 and the start of our own local under thhe teamsters.
We'll work on "world peace" as soon as we get all that done.

Can you also work on Global Warming, the extinction of certain species, social security, the national debt, disease in Africa, Alternative fuels, space debri, and please hurry, I am aging not very gracefully.

Note: the above problems are probably easier to solve than a Netjets contract that will make everyone happy so could you start on them before undertaking the contract.

lol, and true.

 

[netjetwife]

I have to disagree on the theory that it will be hard to please a majority of the NJ pilots. They are actually quite unified in their goals, as can be seen by their actions---82% voted against the last TA and and around 90% voted for SU--and the survey results from the Wilson Research Center. They (WRC) say they haven't seen such solidarity in years! Negotiation will be based on the survey results . It's a simple concept: fight for what the pilots want, keep them informed every step of the way and they will be satisfied with the results. SU will not recommend a vote for a TA that fails to meet the stated expectations of the group. WRC will continue the phone polls every 90 days, as the process evolves.

Cheering them on,

Also, if THIS MEC can't get what we want then nobody can and it will time to STFD !!! The current, elected MEC is doing a FANTASTIC JOB so far !!!

The recent survey conducted by a large research firm indicated the level of frustration/anger and unity at NutJets is bordering a level unseen for over a decade.

Its was made clear through the mail and phone surveys that a strike vote would render an almost perfect percent and the "STFD" sentiment could easily come to fruition.

Lets not kid ourselves, NJA is not where you want to be. Forget about flying a Citation X across the country and the "glory" associated with it and begin to think of how you could put your children through college on these wages.

The earliest upgrade will surely come in the 400XP(beechjet) or the Ultra but the time frame management gives is day dreaming at best. Understand, however, that NJA is short of pilots and qualified applicants so it needs to bend the truth a little.
