NetJets not furloughing because of charter

[gunfyter]

Exactly correct. They have leg irons on and are chained to the contract. Haven't you noticed them limping a lot lately?

... Looks like I have more Faith in Management than you have....

When someone treats me right ... I won't forget....

If they have to furlough because of the economy ... I don't blame anybody ... But ...

If they are able not to furlough ... People are going to remember that.

 

[CRJFlyer]

Damn right!!! If we are able to NOT furlough..The day we hire our first new hire I am definitely sending RTS a letter of thanks from me, my wife and my 5 month old....

If we do furlough I obviously will understand why. And will be thankful it took as long as it did.

 

[gunfyter]

You know, I am going to write a letter too. Even though I am more than 2600 away from any furlough....

 

[CRJFlyer]

Yeah, I fully understand RTS is a business man, and for the most part it's really all about the $$$...And if it had made more financial sense to furlough some guys he probably would have already...

none-the-less....besides the economy I finally have a stress free work environment that I actually look forward to going to every other week... and any positive influence I can have on any one who makes decision about my families future I'll make an attempt to say thank you.. No matter what the true motives are that may have kept food on my table...

We'll all know soon enough.

We'll all know soon enough.

what's that supposed to mean?

 

[x402]

I thought B19 had his own thread, what's he doing here. Did people stop chatting with him there?

 

[pilotyip]

what about the 18-19 day schedules, can those be eliminated? Or are those also locked into the contract?

 

[CRJFlyer]

Netjets doesn't have 19 day schedules

Contract....

And ... the company insisted on it and made it like THE HOTEL CALIFORNIA ...

"You can check in anytime you like but you can never leave...."

Only 10% or those on that schedule can leave that schedule if they don't like it every 4 months. So it would take 40 months to empty it out by the CBA.

Fancy this, I get a call from a NJ pilot. Wants to know if USA Jet is hiring, heck they have 45 pilots on lay off and not even involved in anything but flying anymore. He said a letter was coming out in the 10 days announcing up to 1000 pilot lay offs.

The way the 10% is applied (see the interpretive transcripts), if they elected to do so, all pilots on the 18-day schedule could vacate in 4 bid periods (16 months). I do not expect that will happen.

I think you need to tell your friend to lay off the sauce. While we all agree it is possible that a furlough may still occur to suggest to 1000 of us might be out of work is ludicrous. The consensus seems to be 200-300 if it happens. NJA would be unable to keep up with demand with 1000 fewer pilots.

 

[shroomwell]

I got a call too, that said they were hiring 100 pilots.

Give me a break, even if there is a furlough it won't be that many.

Yeah, correct... I also heard Michael jackson is going to bring peace to the Middle East.. I think I heard that from the same NJ pilot...

It's getting harder and harder to come to flightinfo and chat...... honestly, I think we will furlough some before the reccession is over, but if you junior NJ guys read s**t like " NJ furloughing up to 1000 pilots" and believe it, you will drive yourself crazy.

If I was fairly junior at NJ, I don't think I'd come to flightinfo anymore...

 

[amflightpilot]

What!!!

"If I was fairly junior at NJ, I don't think I'd come to flightinfo anymore..."

oh great, now you tell me!!!

AMF

 

[rondo]

1000 pilots huh? That's like a 3rd of the pilots at NJA, isn't it? Its funny how people get on these forums and talk so much SH$t.

Could there be a furlough? Sure. I question the "sources" who always seem to have an inside man, but don't even work at the company.

Keep in mind there's better things to do with your time then to come on FI and develop an anxiety disorder because some idiot posted a thread.

WOW!! What some people will write.

Yeah and I heard USA Jet is going to be listed as a major by the DOT this quarter.

Go fly some more Microsoft sim too.
