Well well well, we are all playing nice I see. Let us remember a few things.
1. The union negotiated the class 4 pay out and RTS will now have a group of less costly G drivers with over a half a million per year left in his pockets. Glad you guys got NJI, too bad you had to sell out so cheaply.
2. Although removed just recently, posting the NJI FOM on the NJASAP website to thumb your noses at management, classy. The morons who did that thought a lot about security and company procedures being in the open. Nice.
3. You can train any monkey to fly a Gulfstream. You can't train a monkey finesse, customer service, work ethics or to think in advance.
4. The 36 crossovers actually admit to the position at NJI being a little more difficult in operations, the G a more difficult aircraft to learn and fly well and generally a little more professionalism in the job. Their words, not mine.
5. How many NJI pilots used NJA as a backup when looking for a job? I"m guessing that there isn't as many NJA pilots who used NJI as their backup position.
6. Except for the current 36 crossovers or so, everyone else at NJI was INVITED to join. The union broke the door down and forced the rest (NJA) of you a way in.
7. Since NJI did have a little more palatable working environment, why aren't you concentrating union efforts on how to retain the good differences instead of pissing a good thing away and pounding on your collective chests. NJI is about 10% of the NJA ranks, so tearing the place up and making it NJA south still isn't going to have any effect on 90% of your membership.
8. You can't learn international procedures out of a book and directly apply them. It takes time,experience and anybody can apply themselves and learn it. But, what they don't talk about openly is the backside of clock ops, waking up at 2am when the alarm is set for 8am because the circadian rythm is elsewhere. Different food sources, squirts for a week. Being hated by most of the world outside the US border. OH yeah, international flying is just a gas gas gas.
9. You union members have a unique opportunity, is it really productive to banter about he said she said? There are good pilots on both sides. There are experienced pilots on both sides. It is kind of funny how the union forgets that the number one job is to take care of the owners. Why havn't the owners or their level of quality service been mentioned once? Without the owners, your union will do nicely on providing guidance of how to file for unemployment benefits at the state office. This union will never have the leverage that an airline or construction company has because NJA/I doesn't own the aircraft. Someone else does, and they can take their aircraft elsewhere. NJA/I only has some real estate leases, office equipment/software and a group of people working there. Think about it.
