Netjet Profit 143 million

[Number$Cruncher]

I guess this means you don't understand mathematics.

I think there are support groups for people like that.

The track record of your comments and predictions on this board is not good... Lets take this one:

Yes, that's true about the gas price. But as far as your other promises of pending NetJets' pilot muscle, I'm not holding my breath. First, the TA will pass. Second, do you really think NetJets managment will agree to a pilot contract that further erodes the non-existent net margin they currently have? Never gonna happen


​

This is what you posted while promoting the failed 2004 POS TA.

If we listened to you I would still be broke.

Yes, I got the contract one wrong. I never thought management would offer such an expensive contract. Good for you, for now.

The profit everyone is talking about, however, is accounting math. It ties out, I'm sure, but the better truth is in the cash flow. Too bad we can't get a look at the details. In the meantime, I'd suggest you (and everyone else who is a homeowner, or considering becoming one) read the article linked below. It was in the Journal earlier this month. While it doesn't really say anything new, it will give many people an eye-opening reality check when it comes to the value of your house. (You brought up the house thing)

They got off cheap.

Keeps RTS able to line his pockets for another few years with little friction while he moves money around. Number cruncher understands it.

Which is the real reason why you stay on here constantly.

Isn't there a web forum for:


"Pilot Wives who want to be pilots, but cant fly planes, that want to be moms, but want to travel the world, but want to stay at home, that want to be independant, but want to be needed, that like to talk to other men, but want to be recognized as a woman, that want to be leaders, but dont know sh*t about business, that want to be cool, but like being annoying!

Google it and see where it leads you......... (away from here I hope)

Holy crap man...:nuts:

NJW, I'm with ya.

I'm torn. I love NJW, because she is not spineless, and she sticks up for her man. I appreciate Wolf, because Jimmy V is one of my favorite people, and I donate to his foundation every year.

You said it sister!!! I'm going to start flying around with a tip jar and a monkey that can play the accordion.imp:

And perhaps a gorilla to load the luggage? In all seriousness, superior service seems to work for many pilots that receive tips. That said, a fair contract guaranteeing a professional compensation package is the best way to cover your expenses. I think that should be the goal of every frac pilot.

Gentlemen, thanks for the friendliness and moral support of my right to post here. I'm happy to stick up for all of the frac pilots because I respect your skills and understand the demands of your lifestyle. To those of you who don't like reading my posts I invite you to put me on your ignore list. The PMs I receive (along with positive posts here) put you in the minority and I'm sure you'll understand if I defer to those opinions over yours....

Be disappointed that is your choice. I give credit where credit is due and when it is deserved. Shifting deck chairs around on the Titanic isn't much of a plan. I will watch and continue to be proved correct.

Just to be clear, are you saying that the NJ Union Training Committee deserves no credit for helping to improve training? Do you always withhold your approval during the process and acknowledge only the final result? I shudder to think where we'd all be today if the NJ pilots thought like that during the Strong Union movement. Their widespread support made the 2005 CBA possible, did it not?

Does it count as only "shifting" when some broken chairs are removed to make room for new ones? Others see that as a sign of progress and think it shows determination to overhaul the system. The UTC pilots understand that extensive remodeling projects are notoriously slow, but there are good reasons to be optimistic when you see the demolition phase began. It's to be expected that a complete overhaul must be phased in gradually. I think both sides deserve credit for being willing to work together in a cooperative spirit that shares a joint goal of making NJ training the quality program that it should be. Perhaps you haven't seen the concrete evidence of cooperation that I am referring to? Stay tuned and keep watching. I think there may be a forthcoming announcement from the UTC that will change your mind...

Maybe I'm more optimistic because I've been watching the behind the scenes work that has taken place and I've heard the examples of how STEP has made a positive impact on the pilots that have gone through the program. What are the NJ pilots looking for as an indicator that real work has begun and that the participants are committed to changing the training dept for the better?

Watching and waiting,
NJW

Setting the record straight--

....."Pilot Wives who want to be pilots, but cant fly planes, that want to be moms, but want to travel the world, but want to stay at home, that want to be independant, but want to be needed, that like to talk to other men, but want to be recognized as a woman, that want to be leaders, but dont know sh*t about business, that want to be cool, but like being annoying!

Correction: Although I respect the skill involved and enjoy hearing the flying stories, I've never had a desire to fly a plane. I have been lucky enough to travel extensively in Europe and Egypt (with kids in tow), and I do happen to be a very good mom with healthy, well behaved, intelligent kids. Parenting can be a tough job when done right. Suffice it to say that I'm a hard worker.

As for the combination of being independent yet needed-- that applies to both pilots and their spouses. The lifestyle definitely requires a balancing act like few others and I applaud all who manage it. Yes, I enjoy thought-provoking dialog with the posters here (mostly male it seems) but I ask for no special consideration because of my gender. Simply put, the environment is better for all when common decency and respect are exhibited by each of us.

I've never professed to be a business expert but that isn't necessary to know that frac pilots are professionals that should be compensated as such. I have no aspirations to be "cool" by posting here and am fully aware that there are those who take a dim view of this forum because of the rudeness encountered here. Nonetheless, I've learned to sift carefully through the posts to find the intelligent discussions about events that directly impact my family. I have enjoyed the insights shared here by considerate board members and thank those of you who accept me and have included me in the online conversations. I greatly appreciate the friendly PMs and the moral support.

Sincerely,
Netjetwife
