Net Jets Owners Flying?

Gunfyter,

You could send him a copy of "The Wizard of Oz" so he could learn all the words to "If I Only Had A Brain."

Now that's funny. I don't care where you're from... Red State, Blue State...that's funny.

Jack -- you have it backwards

The union and pilots are not allowing the owners to fly their planes,
the owners allow/employ the pilots to fly the owners' planes.

Fly safe.

Owner,

Your thoughts on 91k and how NJA is handling it?

 

[NJAowner]

91k

First flights since 91k took effect are this Friday and Sunday. I'll let you know. Got a 7 a.m. departure Friday morning and since it is a peak day (and now 91k) sure hope they do not move me 3 hours earlier! But I have never been moved on an early morning flight. Late in the day is where I hear the trouble is.

Fly safe.

Oh....now I get it!

Now I understand what my dentist was talking about! When he learned that my husband is a pilot for NJ, he told me that he knew some pilots that were also owners and that they got to fly the planes wherever they wanted to go. I was confused because I knew that none of the NJ pilots could afford a share of the plane. Pilots that are also owners....??? NO. Owners that are also pilots! Big difference! My son has another appointment soon; so I'll be able to have a more enlightened conversation with the dentist... Thanks guys! I learn a lot here...

Welcome back NJW...you were missed. Good to see you.

So since the owner is up there flying with the PIC, does the SIC get to sit in the back and read the usa today, stick M&M's in the cracks of the tables, and use the lave 5 mins before landing (#2)?

 

[NJAowner]

M&Ms

No M&Ms on NetJets flights unless the SIC brought them on board himself. Plenty of Tootsie Rolls though.

Fly safe.

Actually NJW there are only a very select few that actually have the time and qualifications to be typed and fly our planes. I doubt that your dentist knows a few of them. Probably that they just get to fly in the back of the plane.

And there are some pilots that can afford to be owners.

 

[netjetwife]

Diesel, I told him that they --pilots that can afford to be owners--must have gotten their money from another source. It certainly didn't come from NJ wages!But, yes, there are exceptions to the rule....like BBJ pilots at NJ. Time to pay ALL pilots like the professionals they are!

Thanks for the nice welcome Griz. Reading and posting helps to fill some of the lonely hours when I would have been emailing my brother. We'd have been discussing the ins and outs of 91K. I was happy to hear that your operation went well. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for a smooth recovery/fusion process.

Don't you mean 5 minutes after landing?
