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....

 

[FLYLOW22]

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 ...

Do you EVER turn off this bull$hit?





My guess is he would rather be remembered as a husband, father (?), friend...not a "SU supporter concerned for pilots who were underpaid".

good god NJ wife -- you are hollow and pathetic.

 

[AA717driver]

Gotta go with G200. TWA said I had to wear my hat on walkarounds. When it was -9 in MSP not counting wind chill, I wore a sock hat. I also abandonned my trench coat for a down jacket.

I appreciate being a good troop but I learned early on to put personal safety ahead of the company policy. Maybe this will be the catalyst for change at NJA. I hope so.TC

G200, enough of your winter speech and cold weather outfitting recommendations. It's becoming old and disrespectful. Seeing that you do not know all the facts either, it would be great if you could just keep quiet. That would be much appreciated.

How in the world did you get so astray from the original posting on this thread to lecturing us about winter gear and now slamming on others here???? Geeeez. You couldnt be MORE disrespectful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[h25b]

First of all, trying to turn this in to a US vs. THEM union thing about not being provided the proper winter attire is about the most tasteless thing I have ever seen on this forum. Like G200 says, take care of yourself to the extent necessary to keep your good health. If doing so is not possible by complying with the dress code, screw them. This is called common sense.

Good bye Randy, God bless you and rest your soul. You'll be best remembered by your family and friends. It's those people that are the most important during this time.

I agree with you completely, G200. It is reprehensible to use someone's death to try to further your political (or union) agenda. NetJetsWife should have some respect.
