LAS Picket huge success

[FLYLOW22]

Compare my member date with the time I started responding to posts. 95% of my posts are in defense of alledged crewmembers slandering my company and making false allegations. When this stops I'll be happy to slip back into oblivion. Thanks for asking.

Translation: When the pilot contract is completed or this company implodes, NetJets will no longer require my services as a Union Busting lacky.

You obviously know nothing about firefighting.

To enlighten you-

you can work multiple shifts, you can be held over an extra day even if you have beach plans. You work weird hours that can interfer with circadium rythms.

I guess I miss your point. In both jobs, if enough of a mistake is made then people can die. Scheduling plays a big part.

The biology of the matter plays a part. The perfect schedule on paper doesn't always allign itself with the human factor. Answer: Fatigue calls.

Fatigue calls have NEVER been a significant factor in cancelled flights at this company. "Less than 1%" of cancellations are due to tired calls. I think this point has been made clear by Just Gary many times over.

I could care less about your union.

When I asked why they didn't buy from the leader in the industry, NJA, they replied that, "In light of their current labor problems, NetJets is no longer a premium product."

Just about sums it up. Companies will start realising that when they screw their own employees, it will come back to bite them in their bottom line. Employees are supposed to be an asset, not a reluctant commodity which is how many airlines treat them.
I was solicited by NJA when I attended a job fair earlier this year. Despite all the hype on equipment and state-of-the art hangars, I did not follow up. Why? Because I did not want to be insulted by getting a salary lower than a NYC cab driver and one that is currentl 40-50% LESS than what I'm making now. That's too much of a hit and no one in their right mind would go for something like that.
Good luck to all & hope you still have a job down the line. Been there, done that.

Amen!

It could cost 15 to 20 Million. wrongful termination. If Get the same lawyer who just won 27M from EJM.

The operation we run requires 7 pilots per airplane if they want to run the **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** things night and day. Catch a clue. The airlines have 10 per airplane. And we a re running these things almost like an airliner. Many more crews are required unless you do not mind running with fatigued crews.

Its not the schedulers like I hear many people complain about... Its the upper management that does not want to provide more crews per plane.

Well now that really doesn't matter. How many Owners does this company have to lose for senior management to understand?

I guess Boisture's trial and error method of dealing with a Union is kinda like the old Tootsie Roll commercial.... "How many licks does it take to get to the center? Let's find out. One... two... three CRUNCH!!!" He's going to break his Tootsie Roll before he breaks this Union. He is actually the best thing the that this Union ever had.

I'll give him credit where credit is due.

Thanks Bill.

Also, I think you mean, "I couldn't (= could not) care less about your union". Otherwise you do!! Basic English folks.

Good excuse!

I suppose you also spell nite when you mean night and the all-time favorite, your when the meaning is you are (you're). By the way, vernacular should not alter the meaning of the phrase, which in your case, it did!
