NetJets' profitability

[GEXDriver]

GEX driver:

If any crewmembers treated pax "gruffly", I'm sure they were disciplined. If you actually witnessed this (and I seriously doubt you did) did you do anything about it? We all are under the same umbrella. I bet the complaint line is the same number on our literature as yours.

No, didn't do a thing about it.

I fly for a Fortune 50 flight department so I'm not privy to the NetJets complaint line. Want to share?

In two incidences that I specifically remember, one at FTY, the other at IAD, I recall thinking at the time, "Well there's a little extra job security for us corporate guys."

Most people say that they don't believe the article and that NJ is still in the red.

Then maybe they'll believe Berkshire Hathaway's first quarter 2006 filing: http://berkshirehathaway.com/qtrly/1stqtr06.pdf

Good post, but there's a lot of weasel wording in BK's 10Q.

"Pre-tax earnings of the flight services businesses totaled $21 million in the first quarter of 2006 versus $7 million in 2005. Pre-tax earnings from training services increased $2 million in 2006 versus 2005 and pre-tax losses from the fractional ownership business declined $12 million in 2006 as compared with 2005."

We know 4 Dude is correct. (hot water in a X) (The VSI that only goes to 6,000 on mod.X but the FSI manual say’s 10,000 on mod.Y in test mode) I got that straight from a maintenance rep a DAL. We are done with that now, let’s make money and stay employed. I like seven off, but I am getting tired of my wife’s to do list.

Sounds like my write-up on the X at Gulfstream in DAL. Rotary test... VSI failed to go to 5000FPM as we a trained to test for through the companies training vendor and fellow BRK company.

Now the mechs showed me its not in the maintenance manual or the AFM.... I don't care. Its in our training manual.

Well a couple of months later... it shows up in a temporary change to the AFM.... I guess Cessna screwed up, not me. The airplane was broken. passing that test is a LIMITATION.

Yes I was accused on the spot by maintenance there. I don't blame them... they can only go by whats in the AFM and maintenance manual... but I was right.

Oh and I have had people complain about the water not being hot in the Lav... Its not a preflight item but if its broke ... its broke.

Not a problem, I just thought you were ragging on Gun as he did have a valid point.
