The measure of a union isn't how well it sells it's product, it's how well it reacts when the times get tough.

The true measure is what happens if the economy begins to slip. You can guaranty that the union WILL drag it's feet and history will repeat itself. Be careful what you ask for.

When we run out of continents to expand to, we'll test your theory (opinion).

Check back in 50 years please.

Asia should be up and running within 10 years. Europe is making money.
North America is making money
Antartica is a frozen wasteland with no rich people.
That only leaves 3 continents left!!!

I take exception to this statement. I was at NJA when we hit 9/11. Guess what we didn't lay off... we kept on trucking.. the pilots, the union, and the company made sure the company got through the tough times. Did we take pay cuts... nope... Did we lose anything... nope.

Times got tough. Probably one of the toughest times this country has seen in quite a while.

Guess what we are still here and growing.

Nice try.

I just flew one of the top guys at netjets and his statement was:

"its not about the customer" ---Meaning---

We as well as the other companies have plenty of customers. There is an actual waiting list for netjets. When we are 25% in price higher than everyone else and we are still growing we really are not competing with anyone. It has always been about who can offer the best level of service in the industry and we(netjets) are going to work even harder on doing that.

The pilots have a new contract and thats great, but if we take our service up a couple of levels, we will secure our futures here.

Everyone in this frational industry should be paid close the same, and that includes the benefits as well.
