New CS Rumors

Thanks Sky. Disregard the PM. I think I got what information is available from this.

Sky, congrats to you and your fellow pilots at CS... It's good to hear that your feedback to management is showing results. As you say, it's important for all the fractional pilotgroups to raise the bar together so that we're pulling up our frac families--not dragging each other down. Compensation and work rules should be very comparable so that pilot's are free to choose their employer based on personal preferences.

I firmly believe that the unity among fractional pilots has a lot to do with the advancements being made. That unity includes camaraderie not just among the pilots of one company, but also between the fractional companies. When the pilots in the industry stay in tune with what is happening regarding their peers they can more effectively lobby their own management for improvements. Kudos to the CS pilots for speaking up and to the Options pilots for standing firm in their justified demand for a fair contract. NJW

INDUSTRY STANDARDS SHOULD BE APPLIED AT ALL FRACTIONAL COMPANIES

Life on the Bravo fleet...

Slightly off topic question, but what is life like on the Bravo fleet? I ran into a pilot in Florida last week who had just started on the Bravo fleet and we had a short conversation and I didn't learn much about life on that fleet. I understand that it is shrinking while other fleets are growing (like the CJ3 and Sovereign).

So, do Bravo pilots fly a lot? Is it a nice airplane to fly? Do they tend to stay regional due to range limitations?

Well, i was a fence sitter on the union thing, but this just pushed me over the edge.

system for bidding schedules and start days, all should be in place by the close of summer..

Good to hear. There is much open to their whimsical thinking. If the new schedules don't work out they will just put everybody back on 7 and 7 and wont give a crap how it affects people's plans or QOL.

Oh and for the Bravo Fleet Question. In fracs the smaller the plane the less you fly because you can only cover for your fleet and down. you will still fly 2-5 legs a day in the bravo and will be all over the place regardless of fleet you just wont do as many popups or recoveries.

I didn't sign up to work every weekend. I've talked to quite a few who feel the same way.

 

[dime line]

I'm confused. :erm:

dont be confused, B19 normallly dosent make sense. he is a FLOPS Fud, paid by fud and harrasment.

Am I understanding this correctly? CS is proposing schedules that start and stop on weekend days no matter what? The junior guys are going to be stuck working atleast half a weekend, all the time? That is when your kids have their baseball games, hockey games, football games, dance recitals, ect..

Skylawyer or others that work at CS, can you comment on this please? Thank you.
