Get off your husband's account. Leave the big boy talk to the people who actually do this stuff for a living.
 
My god, no wonder people on here love bashing NJ. You are making your husband and the rest of us look really really pathetic. Perhaps you can log off and then go call your other pilot wife friend and tell her to put the self righteous BS crack pipe down.

And no....I don't have a frickn flying job anymore. Yeah!!!

Broke Flyer, They Pay enough, People spend too much.
Pilots think they are Sky Gods are something and no one else can replace them, they're so Damn good. Every one is dispensable. Everyone! We have moved here to fro, been with those that didn't pay well ore better yet, not at all. Net Jets is the Creme de La Creme. Thats why everyone on here wants them to hire them. You know it I know it.They know it. You're not worth what you get paid. It's a blessing. Yeah I know it's tough being paid to be responsible for someones life, but it ain't so tough sitting in Dusselgorf @ some nice hotel w/ 3 hots and a cot waiting for the next ferry either. Yeah some days are tough, but hey, so's digging ditches!
What I suggest you do, is if you're bored, Go get a Job, Maybe Obbma will pay you to sweep th4e floor for $250,000 a year!!!

After a few cocktails the pilots wife decided to hi-jack her husbands account and tell those darned pilots he works with what she really thinks of them.

The aftermath... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCI4o3hUaTY&feature=related

We have hired several people with all airline backgrounds, including one that's either in IOE now or going through initial 10 school.

Good luck!

Hey T-bone...not trying to flame..really. But read on another Blog (APC) that some of your pilots were asked to fly a couple of days with NO pay...any truth to that? Hope not...Hope all is well with you guys.

Well, we have been working without OT pay for several months, so yes I suppose in a way you could say it's true. Instead of the pay, a day of OT can be traded in for PTO. New OT pay policy takes effect October 1st. The pilot group has extended a very large line of credit to the company to help get through these tough times, so it's about time that OT is back in play. That line of credit wasn't going to last forever. All in all, it's still a great place to work (though nothing is perfect!)
 
I really wouldn't call not paying employees what they are entitled to as "pulling back."

It's usually called theft.

That about sums it up! On the other hand, the company pulled back when it needed to, and now that things are moving in the right direction they are putting money back on the table.

What "table" is that? Didn't know you guys were in bargaining.
 
Those last two pages were the funniest stuff I have read on here in a long, long time! Maybe I should let my wife on here.... No, she has too much sense. We need B19 or NJW to chime in and liven things up!
 
Well, I actually have good sense ..I was trying to share it with those that obviously don't!! I don't believe in extortion and thats basically what happens with a union. But we are having to go along with it just the same.All for one and all that heh.
I don't want whats happening with so many others, Flight options to name one, to happen to us.
 
I think what both entertains me and irritates me the most on this board is people on the periphery of what we do telling us how we ought to fly/relate to management/how much we should make/what working conditions we should have, and so forth.

G4dude's wife, I don't know what you do. It could be that you are a doctor, or a lawyer, or the person who bioengineers the latest granola bar. Maybe you're a stay-at-home mom. Whatever it is, you know far more about it than I ever will. I promise you I will not tell you how do your business. I wouldn't want to look any stupider than I already do.

There. Was that subtle enough?
 
G4dude(?) ... I do not have dog in this fight and could really give a crap ... but you need to really grow a sack. The only way working conditions ever get better is fight for them. Management does not just hand out pay increases, days off and decent hotel because they want to ...

Would you cross a picket just to "thankful" to have a job?

Your husband is an at-will bit*h for a Dubai owned company. He is a house-boy for rich people, who has no say at work and can be legally fired for any reason, good, bad, or non-existent.

Flight Options pilots, through their union and it's committees, meet with our company regularly and have a say in how the operation will be run. They have contractually protected work rules, job protections and wage provisions that, unlike your husband's, cannot be taken away at the whim of management. And they can only be fired for just cause, unlike your husband who can be terminated "at-will".

So the next time you see your husband dressing up in his costume to present himself in prone position to his masters, think about what it would be like for you if he steps across the imaginary "at-will" line.

The Flight Options pilots fought hard, in bad economic times, to earn a very good contract and lay aside their at-will status. The sacrifices were well worth it.

You're a jackass!

You need to go back and read this thread again. This G4 family works at netjets, not xojet.

Can you all continue your fight on another thread.
try "bored housewife takes on gullible internet trolls"
