NetJets Smoking Question

.... and my health.

I hear ya... but more long term damage is being done to you from high altitude UV than exposure to secondary smoke a few times a years... unless of course your second job is a piano player in a New Orleans whorehouse.

There isn't smoking in New Orleans anymore.

If the owners smoke, can the pilots light one up?

It is prohibited per the FOM

Carbon offsets for smoking...

No we should not tolerate it. Just because you have money does not mean you can do anything you want.

I disagree 100%. Some of our owners use us for the reason that they CAN have a smoke. It is THEIR airplane. Would you tell them they can't smoke in their own house??? Of course not!

This is cliche`, but if you don't like it I heard SWA is hiring. It is part of the job here.

I am not talking about here. I am talking about an FAR banning smoking on all airplanes. 91 135 121 etc..

True. In this case, however, the Owner has already bought and paid for the very thing you are trying to debate.

Smoking is allowed. MOST (99.6%) of the Owners don't smoke because they are well-educated people and they have read about the effects of smoking.

I have had someone smoke in the plane 5 times in 6 years. I guess I'm due for another soon.

It's really no big deal though once you get through the initial surprise of flying along and smelling the 1st puff of smoke.

i think if you held a survey of all the owners the amount of owners in favor in banning smoking on planes for their own personal comfort would far outweigh a few owners that smoke.

When owners smoke they not only put the crew in a health danger, but they also at times make the plane unsuitable for use shortly after the owners depart the plane.

It has been shown through various studies that restaurants and apartment buildings who don't allow smoking have a significant higher goods sold and a higher selling price.

Gotta love anecdotal "evidence" from the masses...
