It is possible to show respect and concern at the same time. Randy wouldn't mind the NJ pilots being told that others have worn a down coat with the uniform. He cheerfully shared info with the entire group. I, personally, will miss his insight. Still hard to believe that he is gone....

sad to hear, I liked his posts..

for those making this a uniform issue you should be ashamed. how pathetic.

go buy a freakin coat you idiots. Thats what the average person with a brain does when its cold.

All due respect here but...

The company buys your initial coat and uniform.

The fact is that a NJA pilot MUST wear only approved uniform items. That being said, the company provided unifomr coat is NOT that warm and insulating.

We have had several problems with uniform quality as the company has decided NOT to go with an aviation uniform provider like M and H. They have gone with a "civilian" suit maker that knows little of uniform construction, materials and customer service for that matter.

Pilots have submitted several ideas to fix the issue and all have been shot down.

Please don't call people idiots when they are, in fact, the one's who are right on.

Thats pretty rude of you gulfstream200..........

maybe so..but come on folks...who risks thier health because thier company does not buy them a warm coat?

"damm company wont buy me a decent coat so I will ge the flu and show them"..."maybe this will show them we need better coats"....jesus christ gotta love that mentality huh?

Wear what you need to when it is dangerously cold - I dont care what your company says! I am given a lined trench coat and a heavy leather jacket by my company - and thats what we are supposed to wear..we also frequently go to one of the coldest places in the US...what do I wear? my $400 North Face heavy duty parka. Never been an issue or a second thought on my part. In fact, I just consider it uh....COMMON SENSE. Adhering to an ops manual in extreme conditions is not worth my health. My company also would not expect anything less from me.

Company has a problem with that? let them fire you. Any two bit lawyer (or your "strong union") would make you 10X your NJ wages over that one.

Use your heads and stop turning this fellas (Randy I believe) unfortunate early death into a company uniform issue.

real lame.

Never ever thought I would say this, but I agree with G200.

Godspeed Randy.

Even if this does get turned into a uniform issue, I don't think NetJets or IBT1108 will be involved. It would be a claim between the family and their lawyer and the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation. I do agree with G200 though, putting any company before your own personal health is pathetic.

yeah. that was my point... ...to win...you can certainly do better than that?

by the way - martyrs get no respect.

but ya know what they call second place, dont you flylow?

first loser.


anyhow - not to get way off topic on this one..the best to you and all at NJ who worked with bizjet737. Any guy who dies and leaves a family at 40ish was way too young..

lets hope the deep pockets help out his family with thier needs.

Actually, I would think that the family will be just fine, financially, at least. Randy flew the BBJ for the past 5 yrs so was paid professional wages. For those who don't know, that group had a separate contract in the past. In addition, the NJ pilots' new CBA has benefits for families who face the death of the pilot. Randy was a SU supporter and was concerned for the pilots who were underpaid. He looked beyond his own situation and saw what was needed by the group as a whole. Randy will be remembered for that ...
