CandyMan said:Netjets could make a hell of a lot more money if they really wanted too! The waist on the road is absolutely crazy. The folks sitting in the air conditioned/heated "Puzzle Palace" don't see this picture.
The unnecessary ferry flights, hotels, per diem,airline flights, Overtime, Mx, the 100 dollar quarts of oil, Flight Safety charging Netjets more for training than its other customers, airline flights for carpet dances that should have been handled with a phone call
this list goes on and on and on and on forever. The company waists millions each day and no one fixes the problems.
If your sitting in the puzzle palace don't fool yourself. This company blows unneccesary millions each day.
Last I checked the pilots want this stuff fixed. Pilots aren't the ones waisting the money here. Phone call after phone call from the pilots to the puzzle palace with ideas during the day on how to save money and all they get is the answer YOU DONT HAVE THE BIG PICTURE. Thats a gd joke
Candyman - Yes, we waste a lot of money during our daily operations. Contrary to your belief we see it here in the Flight Center as well. Some of this can not be avoided and some can be saved.
I've seen a lot of people make cost saving suggestions. Some have been implemented and money saved. Other times the person making the suggestion did not know all of the details and once they were filled in on the 'bigger picture' they realized that their suggestion wouldnt be the best choice. The important point is that the management was open to suggestions and gave us feedback, yes or no, that the ideas would work....then they acted on the good ones.
I've worked a lot of jobs and this is the most open environment I've seen to suggestions from the employees. Is it perfect? No, but what company is?
I'm still waiting to hear an answer to my earlier question - what Flight Safety customer gets a better price than NetJets?
