Netjets Recalls!!!!

[gutshotdraw]

FSI may be the turd in Waldo's punch bowl in a couple of ways. They are having trouble retaining instructors and they don't hesitate to leave because of having to resign seniority numbers. If the grass doesn't turn out to be greener outside of FSI, they come back with no losses. FSI can't afford to lose instructors/examiners. It's worse than NJA because there are fewer of them, their work can't be sold off and it takes a lot longer to train one of them than a new line pilot (or transition)

My instructor at recurrent told me this very thing last week at recurrent. Right after he told me he is leaving FSI for a flying gig. He also told me it takes A YEAR to get a newbie fully up to speed to really teach solo.

They will just use NJA IPs

I have heard all Beechjets will be gone by the end of '14. With the number of Phenoms coming on property it would be a good guess that the encore and encore+ would follow soon after.

I think there's only a handful left. The Brazillian Beechjets are coming fairly quick however.

That could shut the place down faster than the old pledge

Any news out there?

3 of 6 on the recall or 16 in the next class from a friend on the road

 

[flagshipper]

it took 9 recalls to find the first 6. Attrition in January was 8 so they aren't even breaking even

 

[imacdog]

Nothing heard on a second class date or size. I would imagine though, that with the deferral process, if the company wants an exact number for a class then they will need to send the first notices well more than the required two weeks in advance. So hopefully we'll hear about the next round of letters going out soon.

I just trained one of the January 8 at Delta. He was a 2001 hire Gulfstream Capt. He told me that he's making more as an MD-88 F/O than he was as a 13 yr. Gulfstream Capt.

I heard most of the 8 that left were pretty senior captains. I guess if you are young enough a jump to Delta would make sense.

Interesting... But he may have been embellishing a bit... If he didn't try at NJA and only counted salary on the 7 on 7 off schedule he would have been making $132,219 a year... Based off of 80 hrs a month, he would have to be a 13yr MD-88 F/O.... Or is my math wrong??

Be interesting to break it down to a daily rate... 182 days a year with 7n7 minus 28 days of vacation so 154 days a year at NJs....how many days a year as a Delta FO?

Less Less

We start a recall and then nothing......


We can do better than this, start the machines!!!
Nja to furlough 6 in July, Nja recalls all and looking for 250 for the 4q of this year. The BBJ is on the way back.

Nja will now send out apology letters to all union workers for not being nice.


Union leadership will go on a retreat with management next weekend so they can talk about the bylaws, it turns out they forgot to ask managment.


As a result there will be no Leading Edge next week
Come on guys make me smile
