NetJets sign-on bonus ?

[Hawkered]

If you're not leaving, why do you even care. Get a life!

Just like I wrote. I don't care. I am just curious so if someone asks me about it in the future, I won't give them some opinionated, Bullsh!t answer like some people do. Plus I was kind of being nice to the union question. But that's just me. I'm a nice guy, so bite me.

They made my class sign a training contract. (two year)

Uhhhhhhhhh I don't think so. Or .... Not so fast.

Not trying to pick an arguement....but, what you signed was a seat lock. It keeps you in your seat for 2 years following training to prevent you from bidding FO (or Capt if you are a Capt) from one platform to another.

You as a FO can bid Capt. NO seat lock. But, you cannot now bid a FO position in another aircraft.

It is not a training contract. You can leave anytime you want. Though I know that you don't wish to do so. I'm happy for ya'....not trying to start nutt'in.

UUUUUUUHHHHH I don't think you were there!

Thanks for your confidence in my ability to read documents. I must give off a vibe that makes people think I'm a simple boob. I appologize for that. Actually, I can read, sign my name, and even fly a plane all by myself. I learnt to tie my shoes just last week.

I know what I signed. The clue was the phrase "reimbursement for training expenses". It mentioned pro rating out for two years. It was not the seat lock letter. It was sent to me before I went to class. I signed it with a bunch of other stuff and mailed it back. It may have been sent by mistake or not. I don't care. I am sorry I mentioned it.

Have fun! Bye Bye now.

You are right.....I was not there.

Idiot! Yeah that should help us all..

how mature.. I have a five knuckle sandwhich waiting for you..meet me after lunch by the swingset.. Ahole.. lets see.. People get the type for X amount of money then leave.. The union can keep track of this and make a very nicely colored chart showing how much money is being pissed away. Now we all know that netjets doesn't care THAT much about money, but when rts and the board sees this waste, I can almost guarantee some changes happening..don't believe me? ANyone who worked at ACA a while back knows that the training pass rate was about 20%. The union made a pretty chart showing the wasted money and TA DA.. training pass rates went to 80%.. They realized they had rediculous standards set..

NJA is a pretty good job right now.

I don't think many people take the type and leave. Even if they did, history has shown this bargaining chip will not be given away no matter what it cost.

Um..yeah! When I was at NASA, delivering the mail on a bicycle...

Dude, you're not at your defunct carrier anymore. Get over it...we don't want to hear about it.

 

[fly4funcrj]

actually just one of several places I worked.. If you were smart enough to realize the point I was making, you would have not attacked me..oh well.. children on here.. Oh and I doubt you could even spell NASA without the help of your mommy..
I agree Netjets is a great place, but I believe there were 33 new hires that got the type and left.. A small fraction compared to the 400+ that were hired, but you figure the average type is $20,000? multiply that by 33 and you've got a chunck of change pissed away.. This by itself won't matter, but couple that with the fact that they don't start or end you at your domicile? It all adds up..

Can you say tax write off?
