Just got a nice backpack in the mail, is that the new tranportation mode for it, standby just got a new revision in the mail.....
 
I would love to have your problems!
 
Do you guys really still get paper revisions?
 
I was thinking I could carry it in my Christmas Cooler. The cooler also comes in handy with all the hotel shows....

As a pilot with NJA, I agree 110%. Very tasteless comment in this environment. Every outfit has these kind though, as unfortunate as it is.

I'll second that. You could say I have had a revelation over the past few days and this is exactly why. It's not even about just the unemployed pilots around the country, it's about ALL of the unemployed. We at Netjets have a great job yet we will always find something to bitch about. We always fall back on "Well it's the principle of the matter" when asked why we're always bickering about the smallest of things.

I'm just one pilot here out of about 3000 but I hope you guys on the street know that not all of us share the same ideas and beliefs.
 
Sooooo...... because people have been furloughed at other fracs we should stop trying to make things better here at NJA?

Can someone answer why each a/c can't have its own FOM so don't have to carry one in the cockpit. How is answering that question going to bring on further doom and gloom to this economy?

Life continues........
 
It won't you right, but minor problems like this, you should take them internally with your superiors and not on a public forum, where many of our brother and sisters that read on here looking for some hope, are out there trying to figure it out how to pay their mortgage and put food on the table!!
And you are complaining about a big FOM?....come dude.

Awesome idea! Then there could be a "NetJets Pilot Carrying Cooler" thread on FI in the Regional section.

Dude...shut up. And most of those are represented by your $hitbag union....add 2+2....

...and by the way, pilots complain..that's what we/they do.

We at Netjets have a great job yet we will always find something to bitch about.

Like the new credit card? ;)

But yeah....knock of these stupid post...really...you make the rest of us look bad.
 
Pilots complain because they're always striving for better. It's their nature, never be satisfied with the status quo. That is how we evolved from living in tree's to flying airplanes. Though I'll admit I haven't been complaining about much lately.
 
as a really awesome NJ captain, I can say the only thing I can complain about is all the other guys that are laid off/furloughed......

In these times it shows incredible lack of class to complain about dumb$hit stuff when there are guys that can't feed their families who would love to have all our little petty problems.
 
Isn't a "little petty" problem a big problem?




I could be wrong as I'm only "sorta" awesome....

What I mean is a lotta us complain about "petty problems" when there are guys outta work. Right now I dont give a rat's a$$ how crappy my crew food is.....see what I'm getting at?
 
Common, how could you miss the humor of that post? I had triple nuances in there wrapped around a dab of subtle wit.
 
Disclaimer: This post is LOADED with assumptions.

Hmmm.... Let's think about this from a business standpoint. How much does it cost to send out revisions too 3000 pilots? Let's say for arguments sake it costs $5 (I have no clus the actual amount). Then lets say for arguments sake it costs another $1 to print out the actual pages (probably less, but I'm rounding for the mathmatically challenged). That would be a grand total of $18,000 to send out an FOM revision.

Now what would it cost if we had a single manual for the ship? Just sending them to 500 airframes instead of 3000 a savings of 83%. I'll gladly donate my FOM to this cause.
 
Hey NJAbounded, settle down. Remember this?

That's funny like the rape of a geriatric.

I love it when people post stupid crap and then come back on a tangent topic saying, "oh yeah...snap, like for sure that's totally redonkulous!"

Thank god for memory...

The humor may be realized on the NJASAP bitch board, but not on a public forum with real people out of work. The clue bird flew right over your head, it would appear.
