Want a cookie??

I'm excited to read the LOA.

For all it appears NJI will continue to operate separately under it's own certificate just like NJLA. All pilots and flight attendants will be represented by NJASAP and Local 284 respectively.

Finally we can move on and find something else to bitch about. IDEAS?

 

[Hogprint]

Can we have NJI's ties? Please!

Welcome to the club boys...guess I just dropped 150 seniority points!

In all seriousness I'm glad to move forward and look forward to toasting our buds on the road. Together we stand, divided we fall.

• Whats it like there- It smells and the plane is old
• How is the interview- I don't know I checked the box
• Hows the pay- Captains give all tips to the FO helps with the pay.
• Whats the difference between NJA/NJI- Crappy uniforms that don't hold up well after Indian food
  
• How long is the upgrade-What upgrade? I'll fly the last IV to the desert.
  
• Are the minimums hard numbers- Only as hard as you can get.
  
• How much international do you guys fly- Depends on the captain... and how much he hates you
• Is prior 121 experience a plus or negative- Only as bad as Rotor time.
• Is there any chance the Teamsters are going to take you guys in- I've been looking for Hoffa for a while now. Still haven't found him. People keep pointing me towards the meadowlands whatever that means.

Now all they need to do is get Ed Force One on property.

Sorry bro...Astraeus took it back to the line...paint job is gone too. There was a flight in India and nobody would board it because Eddy was a "bad omen". True stuff....read Rod's diaries on the IM site.

Every time I talk to you lately, you're on an "extended domestic tour." They must really hate ya! :laugh:

 

[GerryG]

Congratulations to all. I know many worked long and hard to make this a reality. I'm confident you will all work hard to strengthen your union and work together progressively. You have proven once again that you are as pilots a credit to your profession.

Everybody hates me because of my awsome hair.

NJA + NJI - The Begining of the END

Like many other great companies that have GONE before, this is definitely the beginning of the END of a great company.

NJA will have 350 more dues paying members even thought NONE of them want it. But then the ENTIRE reason for a UNION is to increase THE DUES PAYING membership.

Oh well, just gotta make the best of it.. hopefully Netjets can survive long enough so that I can retire.

 

[jenex]

Do u have to join the union? I don't see it being mandatory.

Bear in mind that while union dues will increase by 10%, the number of pilots represented will also increase by 10%.

Considering that those 10% pilots will continue to be at a separate physical location, the union will now have to double its local representation. At a minimum, we will now need a SOD at the NHI HQ as well as Columbus.

I'm not sure why people thing of this as a financial windfall for the union.

from your attitude i see why the NJ hiring dept is flawed....

There aint no one forcing them to work here, the can quit and go work for for B19 if they dont like it.

All the NJI crews ive seen over the last year (A LOT) are very happy about this.

Is it possible Thunderbolt is just another anonymous for one of the morons? Eleven whole posts with the same anti-union diatribe. It does get old, but not unexpected.

Ties are on the way.......oh, and the hats, don't forget the hats. :bawling:

NOW THAT'S WORTH REPEATING:laugh: :laugh:
Where is that idiot anyways? I thought he'd surface by now.....

I told you before, if they make us wear hats I AM OUTTA HERE!

 

[gutshotdraw]

You won't have to join the union but you'll have to pay the agency fee instead of dues if you don't and you'll have a seniority number either way, so......

 

[jenex]

GSD,

Is that agency fee a legal requirement?
This would amount to a pay cut, doesn't the loa prevent that?

No hats...just want to get rid of our Nike ties!

It's an agency shop so, yes, you'll have to pay. Either dues or agency fee, but you will have to pay 1.5% of your gross salary to NJASAP. Although I expect there will be some contractual relief for minor operational issues, any contract provision with a financial impact will be FULLY implemented which means hourly overtime, holiday pay, etc. will MORE than make up for your dues/agency fee to the union. The only remaining question is WHEN that will be.
