Hey: I have a class date of 20 June (G200) and have a couple of questions that you'all may be able to help me with.
1). If the strike happens while I am in training - do I stay in training (no scab here)?
2). What are your (our) expectations for new pay scales and work rules (what should I expect)?
3). Is there a place (website or call in, etc.) where I can get the latest so I can stay informed?
4). Am I crazy to come to NJA?
Thanks, Nick
 
On the calling issue, you'll be given an 866 number for the local that will have all the latest info.
 
Posted about four post's under your original. Good Luck.

Nick -

1) No one knows right now because everything is in the hands of the three members of the NMB. Both the company and the union have been summoned to NMB headquarters in DC on the 20th of May. The two most likely outcomes of that meeting are a recess from negotiations or the offer of binding arbitration. If arbitration is offered, that's the path that will lead to us being able to strike after a 30 day cooling off period. I would plan on that being a real possibility.

2) If we are authorized a work action, all pilots at NetJets on the seniority list are expected to stop working. That includes pilots in training.

3) We don't know what the eventual contract will be. I would look at our failed TA and expect more than that. How much more remains to be seen. The company's latest proposal had guys on the 7&7 making 86K at year 5 Captain's pay. It also had no overtime, required us to pay for our health care out of that pay, had no 401K and lowered the pay rate for extended days. It was extremely regressive over what was offered in the failed TA. It shocked all of us that the offer was so bad. It also angered even the most loyal "company men" we have on property. It was an incredibly insulting offer.

Got a old buddy of mine that's on the CRJ at Indy. He was my DO when I flew EC-130s at Keesler. His name is Jim Whiting. If you bump into him, tell him Griz said hey.

Wow...what an intelligent move and such great timing. Hope you are fit enough to walk the line. As for your 4th question, do you really have to ask that ? It's a stupid question.

TJC,

No need to be a dic. He just had a few quesitons. Now go back and have another Santulli Pop. I know I will.
 
Current job isn't working out well with the family, sent a resume to NJ a few weeks ago and just got an application, if you are offered a fair contract how long until the deal is done and it's safe to send in the application?
 
If your current job is not working with the family, how is NJA going to help?

As far as how long from a TA being brought to a vote and being done. My guess is about 2-3 months. I think the last POSTA was being shoved down our throats for 2 months.

No idea when we will see something that has a chance of passing.

So I am no help. Sorry.
