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

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

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.

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?!?!?!

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.

Disgruntled fee payers.

They are simply adding to the perception that all pilots are dips, childish, and should not reproduce. They enjoy trying to be cute and want attention...and that is why whoever they work for, don't feel sorry for the poor pieces of slime.

Let 'em pound sand upside one another so they can appear relevant. Whatever it is..it is simply not as important as some of them are trying to make it out to be and one has to ask why they are even talking about it on a public forum?

It is sad to see this stuff when more important things matter to most of us.

2 days, 3 pages, one 411 and most of the furloughed still have no idea WTF is going on other than 1/2 the dialogue.

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.

Is this correct? Across both NJA and former (newly incorporated) NJI? No more choice of schedules (i.e., 7/7, flex, etc.)?

Sorry to hear that if true. The schedule types were one of the attractive features of the job from my perspective.

Unfortunately the e-mail is confidential, which makes it really hard to talk about.

On a completely unrelated note, I've never heard any of those rumors recently, from anyone.
