Netjets Recalls!!!!

[jetlag7]

Company is also bringing 8 XL's back from Europe this summer, so it's entirely possible they'll staff those with recalled pilots.

With all six recalled pilots?

My guess is EVERYBODY on the list will get a letter asking their intentions: accept recall, defer recall, or resign seniority. There will be some that don't receive the letter or don't respond within the required 7 days and are immediately terminated. That will give the company some idea of what they're dealing with. Then they'll send out letters to the first batch for training dates (in March if the recurrent brief was accurate).

Training spots will be the limiting factor. I just got back from recurrent and FSI is starting to lose instructors going back to flying jobs across all the learning centers. It takes the better part of a year to get an instructor fully up to speed.

Actual number of recalls? All who want to come back, eventually. Barring another economic meltdown, I'm starting to think we'll be hiring off the street by the 4th quarter of 2015.

The best part will be watching some folks come back, get a new type, get current with a couple of hundred hours, and then blow this popsicle stand for a better job. Jordy will be standing in the hall looking like the kid who just had his ice cream taken away. It will be epic...

Now you're just talking crazy. That would make too much dam sense and I don't see it coming outta the Puzzle Palace.

Anyone play poker at the Hollywood Casino in the Columbus area?

Don't think it will happen that way since a recall letter has to provide a training date. They couldn't take the chance off all people taking the recall and then having to pay up. 4 years ago I really hoped I would be able to tell Netjets to kiss off because I found something better but myself and a lot of others would gladly come back to Netjets. Sure I will have my apps in at the majors along with the other 10000 well qualified applicants.

Not only that, Santulli will be recalled too ...

ooopss ... This was a dream right?

Where does it say that? I don't remember the CBA mentioning any of the mechanics of a recall.

 

[imacdog]

It's in the CBA.

 

[gutshotdraw]

It's in the CBA.

Oops. My bad. Flagshipper and imac are correct. Section 7.3. The recall notice has to include a report date.

Guess it will take a while for the company to get a handle on return rates.

Nevertheless, training slots will still be an issue and I'm still looking forward to a bunch of guys coming back, getting current, and then peeing in Jordy's Wheaties on the way to a better job...

 

[imacdog]

Lots of guys are current and already at NJA. Are they peeing yet? Attrition hasn't exactly spiked yet.

 

[flagshipper]

Yeah I hope we all get to pee in the bowl but one month of 12 resignations/firings instead of 4 is hardly a sign of massive attrition, looming pilot shortage, and everyone being recalled tomorrow.

Pretty sure every avalanche began with just a few falling bits of snow.....

Thanks. I chunked my copy of the CBA three years ago. Along with my uniforms.

It's available for your perusal on this here interweb thingy.

The snowflakes of resignation threats have been falling for several years now. So far it's been no more than flurries.
