More Layoffs at the Best Fractional

[GSXR600]

Sorry to hear this guys, how many pilots you guys will have on the street now?
Man ......when are we ever going to hear good news? This industry is getting really bad.

Man, I honeslty thought all this BS was done and things were settling down.

Sorry to hear it. Good luck to those effected.

I heard 93, but don't know if that's accurate.

97 pilots affected is not as bad as 93 furloughed...but still awful for all involved. Sorry for you all.... NJW

If it helps anyone. Heard rumor Jet Blue is still hiring

To be honest, when I read the title of this threat, I KNEW it was about NetJets. After-all, we ARE the best fractional in the world. Argue THAT!

the best fractional too lay off more pilots. Its the beginning of the end boys and girls. Managment doesn't have a clue.
Good luck too all.

weird...netjets didnt lay anyone off to start with..let alone lay off more....

get your facts right beofre posting more bullsh1it.....FI has enuff of that already.

I don't mind friendly competition that helps to prevent complacency, but in tough times like this I think community spirit is needed more. Didn't a CS pilot already suggest that the thread starter was being sarcastic? It does sound that way. I hardly think he'd really consider Shares to be the best when he's saying their management doesn't have a clue. Can't you guys read a little closer and go on the attack less? FI has enough of that already.

To return this thread to its original focus, do the CS managers call it a furlough? And do the pilots have any recall provisions, verbal or written?

I believe the original poster was quoting this albeit a little tongue in cheek.

Maybe we can have the moderators change the name of this forum to "NetJets, and the other small companies who dare try to be like us"

 

[G200_PILOT]

RELAX! It's a joke all the way around! Well, everything but the us being the best anyway...

 

[netjetwife]

7on7off, thanks for sharing the insider info that explains things. Please don't lump all NJers together. We don't all think/act alike. I'm sure many would understand that joking and bragging could be seen as inappropriate on a thread about furloughed CS pilots.

Congratulations to the Shares pilots for their role in excellent customer service. Hopefully, your management recognizes your contribution? What an awful anniversary for the pilots laid off a year after the article came out on 6/20/08. If VRB is one of them, it makes the tone of his ironically timed post even more understandable. He posted the sad news on 6/26 and from Rigger's posts it doesn't sound as though Shares has treated those being furloughed/laid-off/terminated... very fairly.

Personally, I think that the frac community can learn a lot by comparing notes on what is the best practice at each company. If the best ways became the industry standard (assuming they could be duplicated) all of the frac pilots/families would benefit. NJW

Well said NetJets wife!

Its in these times we need to band together tighter, not pull each other apart.

I hope all the Fractionals succeed, it will be the best positioned ones that recover first.

Or how about, "Netjets Forum: Where pilots from Netjets come to bash every other fractional for not being as good as them, even though you just lost your job, and we don't have our own forum onto which to post useless banter about other companies"

Might as well change the Fractional Section right now Mods.

You certain few should grow up and have some support for your fellow pilots, not bash them because they aren't part of your little circle!
