Starman said:It seems very clear now that Boisture, Santulli and Buffett want a show down. It's unfortunate that they'd rather watch the company go down in flames than pay a reasonable wage. Anyone thinking of coming here, don't. It would be a colossal mistake.
FamilyGuy said:This business of wanting to cherry-pick the best features of the corporate world, fractional world, and airline world, is not realistic or sustainable. Buffett and Santulli realize this and are not willing to give in to unrealistic demands that will cripple the company.

You need to remember that your compensation is the sum of wages, benefits, work rules, schedules, etc. Its already been stated numerous times on this board that NetJets has the best benefits, work rules, schedules....the only place you lag is in wages, and that is only by a couple of grand.

NJAowner said:The company (NJA) as raised the rates to the owners to provide raises for the crews, have they gotten them? NO!!
This is one of the big misconceptions which has been on the board for a long time. The pilots have been told by someone other than the Company, that the Company raised management fees to the owners years ago to pay for the raises to the pilots. Suppossedly, the Company has been stockpiling this cash for years, without passing any of it along to the pilots.
I have never had an increase in fees to cover the new pilots contract. I have been with the Company for enough years that I have had to renew my contract, and the only increases have been the standard minimum 3.75% increase in fees each year. In fact, the contracts provide that the fees shall increase at the great of a certain CPI calculation or 3.75% per year.
Fly safe.

Their last effort at a longshot at defeating the resolve of the pilots.
I just can't seem to get why someone would get a "charge" out of destroying the dreams of a decent life for 2000 pilots and their families.
Oh yeah, Its only business, thats right. I'm glad I don't make my living off the blood money I squeeze out of honest people.
Management appears to be willing to spend more money to destroy this union then they would to pay what we are asking.
They are sending the message that they will allow the company to die before they will relinquish to our demands.
To Family Guy, CMHtroll, Dispatcher, and whomever I left out on our ground team, I'm sorry.
Management will sacrifice many if not all of your jobs as well if this doesn't go our way, and they won't even blink. They don't care anymore about you then they do us.
No "me", no "you".
Good luck to all of you.
