Good Luck to CS pilots.....

[DO-82 driver]

This past tour I spoke to 7 CS pilots at Jet Aviation in TEB (after clearing customs) and in APF. All 7 had their apps in with NetJets.

Most of them frequent this board and others for the most accurate info concerning the process.

I was truely surprised by what they told me....Good luck to you guys.

What did they tell you?

Evidently, not much coming from CS management in terms of improvement of current conditions. Even Flexjet is now stepping up to the plate from what I hear in terms of salary (that's the rumor) - we'll wait and see on that one...

Next thing you know Avantair will pay better than CS!

 

[DO-82 driver]

Exactly..... Their management has all but said that they cannot or will not match our pay and benefits packages so there is no reason to hang out there if they can do the same job and get better compensated elsewhere.

Actions speak louder than words... If Flexjet steps up to the plate and CS does not, then I predict a faster exodus...

How many CS pilots have actually gone to NJ ? Just curious....

 

[DO-82 driver]

I don't know how many are here now but I bet quite a few have their apps in.

Avoid the rush and get a better seniority number.

Thanks for the reply. This is not a "Flame" question. I have heard moral is low at CS and was curious if a trend was starting....

Sounds like it might be a little late for that.

I'm not part of this trend. We fly good schedules, make decent money (more than NJ a few months back), brand new equipment, with a great group of people. The grass might be slightly greener on the other side, but life at CS ain't bad.
Going foward CS has great potential. If this potential is relised a person on property today could be in the top 1/4 of a 1000 pilots vs. the bottom of 3000+ pilots.
