By the time this thing launches, NJA and NJI will all be the same seniority list. There are lots of incentives, worth multi millions for RTS to allow this to happen. It's gonna be a done deal.
Now, whether or not the work rules are the same is another matter. But the pilots will all be coming from the same place.

In the "worst kept secret" category, Gulfstream Aerospace will formally announce their new aircraft tomorrow, March 13th, at 9:00 AM Eastern.

Expect the so-called "wide-body" Gulfstream to boast a range of around 7000 NM, cruise speed of at least .85M, improved fuel specifics, Planeview cockpit with HUD/EVS II standard with synthetic vision at some point in the future, many of the same systems as on previous Gulfstreams, the trademark Gulfstream windows, and a list price just south of $50 million completed.

I also expect Netjets to have a firm order of around 10 airframes with options for more (yes, they will be operated by NJI) and a planned certification date in early 2010.

I don't know if this is the "big" announcement Captain Dad was talking about but it is a big announcement nonetheless.

Don't you mean NJA after the merger!!
