It is amazing I am not even in hiring business anymore but I get 10-12 resumes a week and 2-3 phone calls from pilots looking for jobs at USA Jet. Talk about being out of touch with what is going on! BTW who is in trouble here? me for being a messenger or the pilot worried about his job? Has not NJ already laid off 100's of non-cockpit people?
Their ya go. I was going too say that, but at this point it's mute.
Up until 2001, it was almost a 100% hire rate, if a USA Jet applied, he was hired. George and I had a good relationship and I sent him some good guys. They all did well with no failures. I could go back and check my records, but it was around 20. Would like me to PM you with a list of names? I did not apply at NJ because I did not want to take the pay cut. Plus I felt a real obilgation to those piltos we hired to make USA Jet the best posssible company I could, did not want to jump ship. Now in hind site with which we are all gifted, NJ would have been a great deal.
I am one that hopes it does not happen. I have a lot of pilots I hired and training that now work NJ I would not want to see them on the street. But being told something like that, I thought it would appropriate to see what other s thought. You have to apply the FI filter. I wish no one ill will, expect Rez
Name calling on FI is so easy when most posters are able to hide who they are, that is why I elect not to hide my identity. Flylow made it sound as though he/she had information that would counter my original post. If that was the case, I just asking that he/she share that information. Unless of course he/she is in a position of trust within the union or management where he/she would have information but unable to share it at this time. FI is all about sharing information for the good of the pilot members. Civility in communications is what it is all about. BTW maybe it was the wording of my post that should have been different. Maybe this would have gotten a different response "Hey I just got a call from a NJ pilot who said there may be up to a 1,000 pilots lay offs coming, could there be any truth to this?
The truth I was referring to the "truth of the spoken word to me". So I post on FI to see what support it has, as I said to gunguy, you have to filter stuff out on FI. Looks like there is not much support for what this guy told me. But on FI we go through this entire chest puffing, less than civil communication, and name calling in the interest of what. Most of it done by people who hide behind a screen name. My interest is all of my friends working a NJ; I am concerned about their future. I am largely responsible for them getting the skills they needed to make the NJ move. I hired them, I trained them, and I mentored them and wrote letters of recommendations and made calls in their support. That is my interest. As far as time goes, I now have lots of it, being a contract employee.
your thoughts only, BTW what defines an aviation expert? Avbug?
