Saw a few NetJets pilots lately sporting new ties. Black with Gold accents. Vert sharp looking. :pimp:
 
It's kind of a hot topic among us; some guys absolutely hate them, while others think they're a big improvement. Put me in the latter camp; I didn't like the gold ones at all. They'd get fuzzy in a week, and just didn't wear well. The new ones use a different material, and I think will hold up better. I like 'em!

Hot topic!!! life must be good over there these days:D....J/J

I do have a question though... Just noticed the expert on the furlough section of the contract is Luthi.. How is it he's the expert yet he's never paid us a single visit to answer a question or give his opinion on some rather hot topics... I want a new expert I think!!!

OH you beat me to it by mere seconds

If we're talking about fiji water, Ipads and new ties, maybe things are not that bad at Netjets
 
It's good to be the first at something atleast. Glad I could beat ya to it. Figured it was only a matter of time before the first sarcastic remark. Thought to myself "why not me"!!:beer:
 
I don't care what tie I wear as long as my paycheck is deposited on Friday...

Sorry but that's not true. While I admit I'd have liked to see him on there more, to say he was never there is hyperbole at its best.

I'll let ML speak for himself but he posted the 411 every week so it wasn't like you couldn't get the info you were probably looking for there. Right?
 
Nojoy, looks like your "new tie" thread is about to turn into another union pi$$ing contest

HA Ha I know-I am betting at least three more pages worth. ;)
Anyway, I think our pilot group are due for a different style tie too- :beer:
 
I like the new ones better. Funny thing, I noticed some of the legacy airline guys are nicer now....don't recognize us as easily!!
 
Really, Tie's? As posted earlier, just be glad your check clears regardless of what color tie you wear. I just finished my last day wearing the "Yellow Tie" at CA. I no longer have a tie to wear - or a pay check to go with it.

Hopefully you will be wearing a better tie in the future and your paycheck will be rewarding.

You know, this CitationAir thing is really bizarre. Something must have happened upstairs...this part of Cessna had a great reputation and it was my impression had some pretty good traction. Can't help but think that something else is going to happen and my guess it would be on the manufacturing side. There are really sick numbers coming out of that pooch.

How about maybe the simple fact that they have continually lost money like the rest of the frax? What's really bizarre is Warren down over a Bilion and staying with it.

Down a Billion? How do you figure? Do you have a super secret report the rest of us don't....

And aircraft writedowns from 2009 don't count... They were manufactured by Sokol at just the right time for him to swoop in a save the day...

Are you one of those who thinks every SEC quarterly filing is fixed?

You know, I can't figure out how much the IRS is asking for with the federal excise tax issue. They were already in court for over $650 million in taxes, penalties, and interest and then the IRS counter sues for $330 million.

Does this mean they want close to $1 billion?

Its not clear to me either. I think they concede the $650 B due to the FAA ruling that fractional flying is Private Aviation. The New suit is saying "OK you are private aviation not subject to ticket taxes ... BUT ... even the private flights are taxable transportation (if an aircraft management company hires the pilots etc. for you) so instead of $650B they want $330B.

Not sure, but that's what I think they are saying.
