Hey Family Guy!! We need to settle this!!

G4 must be crying in his milk, now that there is no longer an NJI savior on the EMT....welcome to our world, finally.

How will he spin this to being the union thug's fault?

Nope! I think Bill got a better offer elsewhere, and he seemed to have little effect on NJA's culture, unfortunately.

Why wouldn't you stay?

Serious question I'm interested why so many are leaving.

NJA is still a pretty good job, but not as much fun as it was, so I am looking for a good corporate gig. The vituperative union stuff depresses me as well, and NJA management is rather inept in some ways. Too many lawyers and accountants. Maybe I am better off elsewhere. Then I won't be hated by the Diesels of the world.

I don't hate you.

I do think you're un informed, and your pre conceived notions about the union make you think that your right.

Especially since you think being a scab is an option and even think thoughts about being one.

Honestly if you go to a corporate job it will be the best thing for you and the union. One less spineless pilot willing to accept less so they can have "fun".

This job stopped being "fun" a long time ago - at least on the A side.

Already looking.

Walmart corporate is hiring. Seriously. It's non-union, which should be right up your alley.

And they stopped sharing hotel rooms so that is a big plus.

 

[FurloughedAgain]

They doubled their pay to stop attrition, so they're all bought and paid for now. So they have that going for them...

 

[B747Flyer]

I received my Non-Deferrable Notice of Recall last week - and resigned...

 

[imacdog]

It's not a laid back retirement gig...

 

[Diesel]

But guys like g4dude want to do it for fun. But not fight for better because that's no fun.

I am truly sorry to hear that. I have been at it for more than 40 years and 30,000+ hours and still love every day.

Love and fun are two different things.

i love what I do. But love doesn't pay the bills.

Take for instance the company says we are industry leading and considers soft money on top of our salary.

401k match- actually very good.

Per Diem- That is how I eat. They get us crew food to keep the planes flying so lets not kid ourselves.

Holiday Pay- No holiday pay for me due to my schedule.

Supplemental Duty pay- I don't get that either.

Extrended days/after midnights- Don't even have 1 last year

Hourly Overtime- Very very rare.

PTO day payout- Never been paid out my entire career.

Vacation payout- So keep working and not go on vacation? Why don't i just sleep in the plane. Nope never have paid out.

Longevity bonus- Ummm what?

So that is what the company thinks about our compensation. Look at all the extra money you get..... Hmmm that sure helps out my 6 years of pay cap. LOL

Yep. As long as you never get sick, never take a vacation, get an SDP job, and work the kill-yourself 18-day schedule. Oh, and count per diem as part of your salary. Where do I sign up?! uke:

Exactly just work harder and you'll have all you want.

Where have I seen that before.

Dammit can't post pictures lol.
