NetJets Pilots Picket Airports at Start of Busy Memorial Day Travel Weekend

[Mork]

Nobody really noticed because nobody really cares.
Didn't even make so much as a blip in the local paper in Omaha.
Yeah, way to go guys!

 

[sikntired]

MORK! You forgot to take your thorazine AGAIN!

(You know how you suffer from delusional feelings of grandeur without it)

Go get it now! Go on! Shoo!

*hush now, don't you worry about those mean ol' pilots and their struggle with the mean ol' company......it's really none of your business....everything will play out in due time.....shh, it's ok, be quiet now.....shhhh

i'm sikntired

The article is about picketing in front of various FBO's at airports like TEB etc.
The Omaha picket was for the shareholders meeting.
You have your thread bashing facts mixed up-lets try that reading thing again-just sound out the hard words.

I wish everyone at NJA the best-but I am happy to say that the environment that Mgt and other NJA non pilots have created-has helped spur allot of great people to leave NJA for other places like JetBlue, SWA etc.

Just heard of a great guy from my old fleet coming over to JB in the June class-very short sighted on NJA's part-but many thanks on our part.

Honestly, I cant figure out why unions continue to cling to these outdated methods.

You wouldn't. You are a company stooge. Are you even an employee of NJA? Doubt it.

How effective are they?

Quite effective. Ask NJA Sales how the PHL sales demo is going that was scheuled for the 7th?

How many people even pay attention to picketers (or billboards) these days?

Many. Several hundred have contacted the Union so far.

Are y'all picketing at the terminals or FBO's?

The FBO terminals.

WOO HOO! Several Hundred! Out of a country of 250 Million plus....You should be proud. Does that include all of the family members of the ardent union employees?

Why is it that you belittle the opinions of several hundred NJI pilots as being inconsequential yet you want to brag that several hundred people contacted the union.

Boy, you are a dim bulb, several hundred owners. I can vouch for it personally. I have picked up at info sites and the response is overwhelmingly pro pilot. FROM THE OWNERS.

Hey Family Guy....in my past several tour I have had a number of owners come up and lend their support for this pilot group. They all pretty much say the same thing....they are tired of OS lying to them. The pilots aren't the problem...its the lack of service they are getting from CMH.....

Many of the owner are especially ticked off about the Marquis program. Their assets are being depreciate d by every Marquis flight. This may or may not be true but this is how many of the owners see it.

I guess its time to spin the truth to the owners like the way the company has been spinning to the non-union, hard working employees in the Casino.

Don't worry about us pilots.....you guys are blowing the show right there in CMH....the problem lies right under your noses. Operations needs to drive this company...not OS and the sales department.

So, in case anyone doesn't know it yet. FamilyGuy and Mork are labor consultants, or most likely the same guy, who is paid by NJA to post managment views. There are others here too.

You'd really like that to be true, wouldn't you? It just torques you guys off to think that flight center employees dont agree with how you're conducting yourselves in these 'negotiations'...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but most of us here in the flight center are just tired of hearing the constant yammering about how poorly the company is treating you....especially when there's a proposal for raises of 23%-40% on the table, and we are ordering lobster tails and steaks for you, and getting you a sedan when you dont want to take a taxi or a rental car.

Again - if you want to bash the company, fine, but in the same breath you should acknowledge all the good things that it offers. I've worked for a lot of different companies and learned over the years that none of them are perfect. All that experience also helps me to appreciate all the good things I see here at NetJets.

picket picket, picket in the thicket, then paint my picket fence

ahh yes i'm riding around in the back of a limo all day. You want to even know the truth why i'm in a limo.

Let's say like they did today they want me to rent a car and drive from TEB to FRG.

Now being a newengland guy i drive like a psycho but i couldn't find my way from one end of nyc to the other. I've driven into the city a couple of times but it's never been pretty.

So now you want me to find my way from teb to frg? Okay which bridge do I take? Tapanzee, GW, Verizano, or maybe it's a tunnel. Hudson river? Is it the Major deegan or the some other road. When will I get there. I've got no idea it's rush hour.

So i get in the back of a limo with a guy who actually knows where he's going. I can snooze while he fights traffic. he drives it all day he knows the shortcuts. We had one lady last week who i thought was going the wrong way but she was taking a shortcut to avoid Yankees traffic.

Let's not even talk about the liabilites of renting a car and killing a couple people.

If your going to spread dis information at least tell the whole story.

Hey big guy I heard that limo really dropped you off down on Fire Island!!

 

[Diesel]

i can tell you the route to fire island from any place in the country. Problem is we don't go there.

I knew you'd have a fire island reference for me. Hey i saw that guy we had BBQ with said you were less angry than normal.
