Flylow I never said you said there are the same dips.

Going to have to drink some beers to reread that.

Dog gone!

I just KNEW you were sober dude.... You were making WAY too much sense over here. Somehow, it all just seems wrong. :laugh:

 

[ljg]

Thank you Fozzy.

See guys, that wasn't so hard. Civil, to the point, and not a hint of attitude.

I know the union guys are already on it. If there is anything to come out of it I know they will let us know ASAP.

Thanks for all the PMs from the guys that sent them.

P.S. I am a total bucket of wrenches to fly with. I'm the entire toolbox. Just ask the guys on flightinfo.com. Everybody is a tool except themselves.:smash:

Hugs and kisses to all you b!tches.

HA HA Right on

Njamerica-



A lot of people come here because it is anonymous and just like anything else they can be tougher here than on the union board.



Why should the union have to push the company to do what's right. The company can make the change at any time but they choose not to. So while guys are trying to save the company a few bucks by using LRC the company is actively spending more money to make sure your commute is longer and tougher than it needs to be.

Why HBA's are such a hot topic on our own messageboard is because people who have been here any length of time understand the company could care less about money. They've got plenty of it. I know its insane but its a fact.

So if you bought a house under an airport do you have the right to complain about the airport noise? Not really but you still do.



This is a pretty weird reason to leave and completely false. ACP's don't make any decisions for us. The captains make the decisions.... period. A standard NJ pilot has to deal with a lot more variables than a 121 world. At NJ being a captain is not just a title. Its the ability to manage a million different variables not just inside the cockpit but all the way to the hotel. The minute ACP's start making our decisions for us I'll be joining you walking out the door.

Enjoy your new job. Hopefully you'll be able to handle the variables there better.

LOOK WHO IS ON THE CROSS NOW! OR IS THAT JUST A REALLY TALL SOAPBOX?

YOU CARRY AN AXE YOU LIKE TO CUT PEOPLE DOWN SO MUCH.


YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR NAME TO "I'M ALWAYS RIGHT!"

IS YOUR REAL NAME DICK, OR IS THAT JUST A NICKNAME?:laugh:

Tall soapbox, top of the mountain, whatever I need to do to make sure people thinking of coming to NJ knows the real deal in regards to HBA's and domiciles.

There are a lot of people just now understanding what commuting means and how much it sucks.

So i'll keep yelling from the mountaintop. Domiciles aren't changing, no matter how much you hope for it and think the company is going to do the right thing.

Remember they are wasting money to make sure you have to commute to your domicile. They haven't changed it. Why do you think that is?

LOL.........

 

[captain dad]

Why all the negativity? Are you a glass half empty guy?

"Sucks" is a relative term and unless you are actually commuting yourself, I don't think your opinion on the subject really counts.

Commuting to this job isn't the best way, but everyone has their own situation and own reasons.

I am optomistic, but have been realistic about the base situation. I have not told anyone that the base system is going away any time soon. However, as we all know, it will be a topic in ongoing and future talks.

If you are thinking about coming to NJA do your research. Know what you are getting into before you accept the job.

I can't believe that a college educated, professional pilot could accept a job without realizing what is really going on. Nor have I had a single PM talking about the company going back to HBAs.

So for those of you getting on my ass about starting and or spreading rumors...
Bite Me!

A positive attitude could help. Being bitter and pissed doesn't help anyone. It doesn't matter who it's directed at.

 

[Diesel]

Nobody is being bitter. I'm a realist and using over 7 years of working for this company and 5 years of being in negotiations for a contract that was "right around the corner".

I don't think your opinion on the subject really counts.

Really you think so?

The email also says hurry up and designate your training travel airport! Sounds to me like feelers are being put out to exactly how many dumbaciled crewmembers want HBA.

You don't think that outside crewmembers who are on the fence see this as, "oh its just around the corner" "i can stick it out for a couple of months"

If you really want to ask direct questions about hba's a better portal would be the union weboard where we are talking apples to apples.

Happens everyday. Or maybe they take it with blinders on thinking that change is just around the corner due to some post they might have heard from a friend of a friend on some weboard.

You can be optimistic all you want but the reality is it is costing the company money to have domiciles and they are still willing to do that. Once again look at the big picture.

 

[gunfyter]

Designating training travel airports is a step backward from what we had pre-2005CBA.

We use to be able to call in a couple of weeks before training and designate any airport... could change every training event.

BINGO!!!

I would also add that if you are a new hire at NJA, don't be shy about contacting you New-Hire Mentor or P2P rep. If you are not sure who to contact, go onto the 1108.org site P2P section and PICK ONE. They have all volunteered for a reason. To HELP.

Sweetheart, you quote me out of context more than fox news.

As for your opinion...I was talking about commuting, not your years of service. Slow down, read carefully. If you have worked here for 7 years you don't commute. I commuted for years at the airlines and now at NJA. I think people that are faced with commuting would rather hear from someone who is doing it and knows what they are talking about.

You make it sound like I have been intentionally coaxing people to try commuting at NJA. I have said more than once "DO YOUR REASEARCH!", don't try to make me feel resposible for someone elses stupidity. I can't control what people think. I suggest you take that one and pound sand with it.

As for the "BIG PICTURE" why don't you explain it to me. It shouldn't be that hard. I am obviously too stupid to figure it out. With your overwhelming superiority and infinite knowledge, it shouldn't take you long. And with 3500+ posts you obviouslly like to listen to yourself talk.

I think you are pissed at people like me that have made the commute work.
I think you are so jaded and bitter toward the company and the way they treated you pre 2006, that you can't play nice anymore.

I also think that you want us all to quit, sighting the domicile system as the cause. To hell with my career as long as you get what you want. Right? Then you can gloat and say "We told you so!", and you can be Right! That's what it really comes down to. Isn't it?

I have heard first hand accounts about the way it was here a few years ago. I know it was a lot worse than it is now. I sympathize with all the pilots that lived it. But, you (Diesel) still took the job. Is that my fault to?

Come off your perch and have a beer.:beer:

Go ahead and take your shots.

I think I ran into you on my last tour. B!tch, b!tch, b!tch! Not one positive thing to say. What a waste.

I really don't mean to be mean, but get off my ass! I have an opinion. If you don't agree fine. You start telling me what to do and what to think...you can jam it! This ain't my first rodeo. Or second, or third.
