NetJets

[Some guy]

Columbus threw millions at Skybus and haven't given NJA nearly the money or the respect. NJA wants to build a massive building or complex at the airport near the current NJA facility to house about 20 sims, all the rest of the training classrooms, and everything else they need for office space but the airport won't let them build anything beyond parking lots since another building will mess up the current radar used by the airport. My guess is they offer up NJA quite a few incentives to stay including a change in the radar site. The city doesn't want NJA to pull the plug, but if they don't offer something at least approaching the other cities offers, I think NJA should go. The RDU area has plenty of well qualified workers to staff NJA and I'm sure they have made quite a nice offer. Management has said the decision will be made by the end of the quarter. Either way, NJA wins.

I'd be willing to bet a very large percentage of us would move. We have a good thing. We are respected and treated well.

Grow up, you either make a point or sit back and let it come out on its own.

 

[Newkem]

My guess is: acquisitions. Options, Flex and CS now owned by Uncle Warren. Alpha, Avantair and other prop jobs also acquired (to fly pilots around.)

Finally, Delta airlines; you are next.

I dont work there, but I cannot freaking wait for Captain Dad to come out of the closet.

 

[captain dad]

No joke. Serious as a heart attack.

There are more out there that know what is going on and more precisely when. Time for them to take over.

I'm just happy to be here.

Go Buckeyes.

Finally fired Flight safety.. In house training!

 

[gutshotdraw]

Why would we fire FlightSafety? Uncle Warren owns them too. Remember, the REALLY old-fashioned way of making money is taking it out of one pocket and putting into the other.

If I could have a wish, I would say Mr. Santulli becomes CEO of Berkshire Hawthaway. I'd take that over an adquisition or big plane order......

I don't see moving to RDU helping all of us. Many, but not all of us. Unless there is an increase in pay or days off, I fail to see the benefit of RDU.

I agree. I actually hope we do move to RDU. But that, by itself, would not secure our future or be a HUGE, big deal.

An SSBJ doesn't secure our future, only makes it more interesting.

RTS becoming Buffet II doesn't secure our future.

I'm voting for the Jet Aviation acquisition. Now THAT is a big deal. They have over 5000 employees, lots of real estate and over 200 airplanes.

Hey captain dad, why don't u at least rule out some of the rumors? U don't need to confirm anything just tells us what its not.

I think he did with the wink beside the "Go Buck-guys".

The NetJets campus thing in CMH is sooooo old...

 

[Hogprint]

And no snow......and maybe they'll hire kids from Duke and UNC instead of THE Ohio State University....

And Wake Forest, and NCSU and you can even add UNCG, UNCW, UNC-Charlotte...uhh...you get the picture!

 

[captain dad]

Go Buckeyes! (That was a hint.)

I don't even know what teams they have in RDU.
(They should call me Captain Obvious):laugh:

I was told by someone that saw RTS speak on Monday that the purchase of FBOs was out and not on the radar. As far as Jet Aviation, I can't say. Not because "I can't say", but because I really don't know. It wasn't brought up. CS was and not in a favorable way.

Nothing is to say that they aren't planting disinformation to see who will bite, but I really don't think that is the case. Nothing is to say that plans change, but these are too big and all but finalized to be wrong. Nothing is to say that I am having Delusions of Grandeur and think I am a CIA operative. However, also highly unlikely! "The rooster is in the hen house while the wolf sleeps"

AC orders? Yes, always. How many and how soon I think changes on a daily basis.

The main thing is there is good stuff coming that will make all our lives better. I think it is clear by the reaction to this thread that there is plenty to be excited about. It is going to be a very cool time to be at NJA and I hope those of you that are here not only take pride in it, but also are excited and look forward to the future of this incredible company. Just be happy and positive. This is the best gig and company in the industry. Hate me if you like. Just trying to share the love.

This may be the week. I hope it is soon.
