Netjets Globals

It's actually what he did with the employees that weren't let go that I would like ol' G4 to research.

Perhaps if you would stop hinting and just say what is on your mind, we might have a good conversation.

 

[imacdog]

I'd rather you do the research yourself. It will help your SA about the union and contract you despise so much. A little recent historical knowledge would do you wonders.

 

[rajflyboy]

That's my goal! By the way, I think an in house union like NJASAP or Southwest's is much better than a national union like the Teamsters.

You are so far on the a team side. You have no clue how tight the pilot group really is.

NJA is still really good.

You're welcome.

Did Europe start the furloughs in 2009?

Enough with the thread drift. Getting back to the Globals:

I guess Netjet's isn't the big dog on the street anymore. Vista Jet orders 142 Globals!

Wow! Looks like Bombardier is doing quite well!

 

[CRAWDADDY]

Never heard of them. Now, let's see if NJ has a hissy fit, cancels everything and throws all of its money at the next BeechJet only to blame the pilot contract for inefficiencies.

First Global is now in CMH and should start revenue trips in about two weeks. Three more to follow this year.

Very good. And to boot our best of the best most senior respected pilots, many from them BBJ fleet, will be flying them. I should downgrade myself just so I can learn from them and study their airmanship.

Seniority sucks, don't it? In all seriousness, I was pleasantly surprised 10 of 11 SDP positions were awarded to the non-GLC fleet pilots. Not all were real senior, nor were they BBJ pilots. All regular bids, yea only 13 so far, were open to the whole membership. I just can't see all the conspiracies I guess.

Conspiracy theories usually don't pan out, except in the fevered imaginings of the theorists. What intrigues me about the Globals is whether they will be reliable enough for the flying we do.

The Globals will be fine G-4, more and more companies are buying Globals. and they're not buying those Globals just because Bombardier is giving them a better deal than Gulfstream, the airplane can do the job. It had a rough start, that's all
