Today is Friday. The 411 should be juicy.

Just ran into a Netjets guy... New rule: Flexjet pilots now get to have the remote control in the crew lounges

I bet this all goes back to that Vegas gateway rep somehow.

Since there are some Netjet C@ck teases here...

I heard an increase in insurance premiums and co-pays. Some company funded insurance perks going away..vision, dental. Company going exclusively to 6-4 schedule. Tight restrictions on crew meals and travel and hotel policy is in review, looking at cheaper alternatives.

What I heard.

Since you guys seem to be shifting to austerity mode, the Holiday Inn Hashbrouck Heights has an $85 Flexjet rate. If you guys want I could email the details to your travel department. It's actually a pretty nice place for a hotel that was built when Nixon was president. It's right off Route 17, just across from TEB and next to McDonald's and Dunk'n Donuts, which is good, because the coffee in the restaurant there tastes like hot water that somebody dropped a brown crayon into. Also, the place is periodically overrun with German tourists who arrive in gigantic buses and stand around in queer jeans clogging up the check-in area and the elevator. Also the fire alarm sometimes goes off in the middle of the night, but ever since the completion of an ambitious restoration project that succeeded in making the place look only slightly less cheesy than it used to the fire alarms don't seem to go off quite so often. Also there's a bar there that serves chicken fingers that like every other person I know has gotten sick eating and a comedy club called "Bananas" that's about as New Jersey as it gets, and sometimes they rent the conference rooms out for huge-ass Mexican weddings and quincineras, and there's always lots of really hot latina jailbait walking around.

Like I said, let me know if you're interested.

No need. When we are bought by Flexjets I am sure we will be made familiar....

Keep ice water in the veins.

Unfortunately, ice water is no longer free. You're now facing the realities of competing against pilot subsidized companies.
Look at what Virgin America and JetBlue have done to downward pressures on salaries and benefits.

What's the matter? You don't like Faux News and the Military Channel?

Care to back that up with facts? I'm not sure about VA but a cursory check of payscales in comparison to several of the legacy carriers flying similar equipment shows B6 at comparable if not superior rates.

Knock yourself out there champ comparing B6 vs. Bankruptcy contracts. Mom must be proud.

If you do your own research, you may not like what you see. I hope your kidding with this statement..... you are kidding?!?!?!

 

[airjackson]

So your position is that B6 has a negative affect on other carriers salaries, then cry foul when someone actually compares them? Which is it? You may be right, I'm just asking you to back it up with facts.

Champ? Mom? Seriously?

I agree with Sokol. With all due respect to those who disagree.

 

[gunfyter]

All the more reason not to discuss it here ... don't you think?

 

[Jack Campbell]

The first problem with discussing this is that there a lot of us who still don't know what you are talking about.

How about you grow a pair and post on the union board under your name instead of some alias. Then defend your position. I might have some respect for you then. As it stands, you're just another troll that wants to trade the jobs for guys at the bottom of the seniority list for your own security. Pretty damn pathetic.
