Looking for info on NetJets International

[RTRHD]

Are the Teamsters giving up on the NJI carrot?

I heard it was going to be NJIA

NetJets Indpendence Air.

Why do you think we hired all those Indy air guys.

Someone isn't playing nice.....again!!!!!

Isn't there some old axiom about leopards and spots or zebras and stripes ???

Why do you think we hired all those Indy air guys.

And Midway, and CMR, and USAir, and the list goes on!

NetJets seems to be the land of 'misfit pilots' which explains how I got here. Although I've said it a thousand times, I'll say it again.


WHEN IT COMES TO DRIVIN STEEL THROUGH THE AIR, THIS IS THE BEST GIG IN TOWN... PERIOD!

à l'effet contraire mon ami, I have the best gig, you have to clear customs way too many times and have entirely too much luggage space.

I think Wolfie was using 'steel' in a 'figurative' way. There is something to be said for 'proven' designs!!!

Advice? Never buy one of the first 100 serial numbers of anything!

Well I have flown international, and the thought of eight hours in that small cockpit makes me weary, and I would rather be on a waterboard at Getmo than 14 in the front of V. Course if that is the biggest you have ever known ... I guess it is like some wives and girlfriends :laugh: . You boys can have 'em.

V cockpit

At 6"2 I can slide the seat all the way back and never touch the pedals. Or I can slide it 1/2 back and recline the seat 50 degrees or better. The V cockpit is very very comfortable for the long haul. And anything over 10 we carry extra pilots, so your getting a rotation in the crew rest area.... books, movies, sleep, music, whatevah ya want! My last tour was another "around the world" deal. We did 4 legs, shortest one was London to Venice, 1.3 hours.

The Globals are very nice inside, Ive been all through them. Problem is they cant hold a penny next to the 550 for long range performance... Period.
