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

Amen! Amen! Amen!

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.

wondering about Netjets International also

Hey, I'm in the exact same boat it sounds like. What did you find out about NJI? Thanks a bunch for sharing. I'm also wondering about any hiring and can you be competitive with a bunch of hours but no Gulfstream time.

Are the Teamsters giving up on the NJI carrot?

Any hope for Common Carrier got a huge setback

Check out these links....

Wishful thinking.

We have exactly what the article states is needed for Single Carrier.

"Give me some more time, You'll all be flying Gulfstreams."

Gulfstreams will be assimilated

Resistance is FUTILE... :laugh:

BTW You're welcome for all our years of dues to bring your salary up.

The lawyers representing the 1108 in the last court of appeals will now have to prove that NJI exists only to bust the Union.

That will be a really tough sell from my perspective. But, what do I know. Looks like we'll have to wait for the courts to settle it.


BTW Thanks, No really, Thanks I am well aware where that raise was generated from.

WARNING: Sense of Humor Alert.

Don't get me started again on calling that underpowered, stumpy-legged, boot-winged turd a Gulfstream.... :laugh:

Relax....just kidding. Again.
