Let the rumours FLY ....

[RNObased]

But how is this an expansion? We will fly the same people... not more?

I'm not saying it is an expansion. This is the only thing that makes any sense. Why would we aquire another fractional?? Why add more planes, pilots, debt or personnal when they just trimmed all the above or are trying to trim them in the case of airplanes?

You're an idiot and embarrassment to the other delta pilots. Maybe you shouldn't post anymore, it just makes you look ignorant.

Thanks Oscar the Grouch....Isn't Maury Povich on, or can't you go back to the golf course? Really, being retired doesn't suit you. Time for you to retire from this board, too.


Bye Bye--General Lee

um no, i find it funny to watch you get all excited and make yourself look like a fool commenting on something you know nothing about.

When I can laugh this hard on the course, then ill go there.

I heard Netjets was looking to buy Haiti.

 

[cjdriver]

Heard second hand that Options would be recalling soon. Got it from someone that talked to an Options pilot. Anyone else hear this?

To me, it would make some sense to focus on buying up a FBO chain.

If you look at savings made so far by NJA/NJI in crew, aircraft, fuel, HQ move, office personnel, etc, then one of the largest remaining "fixed" costs must relate to FBO charges.

NetJets pays a mere fraction of what a Part 91 operator flying an identical type aircraft pays to the average FBO, for fuel or other services or just "fees".

Ahhh the rumours, cant imagine it unless a contract is on the table. It would be nice if it were true.

 

[T-1GUY]

I heard it first hand for two FO pilots that the "hostages"are back...

 

[jetwash]

Yes two were brought back this week.

One union supporter and one non supporter that the union fought to get his job back as well. Maybe he will now decide to join the union and pay his dues.

Some of the numbers are wrong in the above email (I was runnning 2 sets of calcuations and mixed them up), but the concept still holds. Sorry for any confusion.

Sorry NJAowner, I have to disagree with you twice in the same week. While I think you make a good point as to why a Marquis acquisition might make sense, Sokol stated the deal they are looking at involves "taking on the customers of the other company." Since Netjets already does all the Marquis flying, they wouldn't be taking on any new customers, and the net change in revenue hours flown would be zero. I think the goal is to increase utilization and buying Marquis does nothing for them in that regard.

+1. Although I think they need to eventually cut out the middle man with Marquis. NJA has a lot of airplanes that need to be filled. In a market that won’t allow the sell off of excess airframes, filling them is the only option.

Hate to split hairs, but technically, taking the customers of Marquis (a separate company) would be "taking on the customers of the other company", as you said.

It might not be taking the customers of a competitor, but another company? ...that does fit.

This interview was garbage.
