NJ 757 class?

[Gulfstream 200]

G200,

That is some funny stuff!!! Come on, NutJetWife is out to save our industry for us poor exploited pilots.......

My favorite NJW thread is when she posted on the "etiquette" of pilots accepting tips from passengers! What would we do without her???

SCT

Yes that tip etiquette one was priceless....

No, she means well I suppose....But if I was "NetJetHusband" I would certainly bid the 31 on - ZERO off schedule!

(and Yes, he flew F16s)

did ya catch that? - he flew F16s.

[Gulfstream 200]

Present and accounted for!

I knew SOMEONE would take the effort to sign up and the infamous F16 driving professionally paid, well fed, NetJetHubby!

welcome!

I had a United Express FA ask me if I could get her into the 757s at NJ when I was getting airlined out of CMH last week. I told her we had 3 or 4 737s and no 75s on property or announced, but that I hoped we would some day. I really think she thought I was lying to her and was just being a jerk. I hope she's right about getting the airplanes (but not about me being a jerk).

DAMN!!! You shoulda said, "Well YES I CAN!!! I'm on the union hiring committee! Let's discuss it in my room!"

G200,

Stop It! You're killin' me man!

Remember, they don't want big airplanes that go a long way (like the GIV's and V's that don't interest them...).

I predict the 757's will go junior. TC

It will interesting to see (if the 757 thing goes) how the pay scale will go.

One thing's for sure, if it's sport's team junket bird, you're going to be working week-ends, AND back-side of the clock, so that the "heros" can be home in the morning.

Looks like NJW went back into hiding. I didn’t even care what she had to add until she stuck her nose on my side of the fence.

I'm not in hiding; I'm working on my personal fight for justice. I didn't introduce the subject of tips on a thread about the 757. But since you guys are interested in that topic..... They aren't handouts. Tips are a monetary expression of appreciation for a job well done and are given to pilots who perform services above and beyond their flying duties. Some of you obviously needed a refresher on the etiquette rules with regard to tipping pilots. Any pilot who has done additional duties should accept the tip with a smile. Not all NJ pilots are paid professional wages. Some are still underpaid just as many other frac pilots are.


The FedEx job was an instructor position which would have required our family to move to Memphis. We weren't interested in doing that. Not that that had anything to do with the topic of the thread, but just to set the record straight. He turned it down for American. Things have worked out well for us. My husband is pleased to be at NJ and his salary now justifies his time away from home. Speaking of that....

Obviously, some members of the board are lacking in manners. I fail to see what personal attacks have to do with the issues. I'm sure your families look forward to your time at home. I wouldn't insult any of you, or them, by suggesting otherwise. The PMs I receive regularly tell me that the opinion of the vocal minority isn't shared by others.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, ad naseum.uke:

There you are NJW. Chill out, I am sure it was all in good fun. I would say if you can’t stand the heat stay out of the kitchen. But that is not appropriate here. (No put down intended) I would like to be the first to say I am sorry if anything I said offended you. I understand if you want to participate in your husband’s company affairs. But you did start something here.

Thanks for the apology, RT. I found the 31/0 comments offensive. Considering the time pilots spend away from home that is an area that their spouses are vulnerable to when someone wishes to insult them. It's a low blow. It was my hope that pointing out the lack of respect will serve to raise awareness. Many pilots won't come to this board because of the insulting tone that is too often posted here. I don't think it's fair for a few to ruin the reputation of a board that has the potential to be a good source of information and camaraderie for many.

I think anyone whose life is affected by a pilot's job in the industry has the right to participate in a discussion of the issues. I have learned to step past the waste to get to the informative posts. Given the number of times I have posted here, obviously I can stand the heat. That said, I don't think anyone should have to do that in order to discuss things.

I'm confused as to what you think I started. Are you referring to my belief that the frac pilots would do well to exercise their right to collectively bargain for a fair contract? Or my thoughts that the NJ pilots and the NJI pilots need to find common ground and work on integration? The "fence" now has a gate in it, RT, and NJ pilots are starting to go through it. With all due respect, it is no longer just your side. It's now one of the current events that affects my husband's job and so I'm paying attention to what the pilots say about it.

really no offense meant, NJW.

but its odd you come here an expose you personal life so openly. Its a public internet board full of strangers. You come here seeking "comraderie" - thats odd. Most come here seeking info on jobs, job leads, operational questions...and a bit of humor to kill time on overnights. Not comraderie. The internet is not that.

Aside from the negative tones, maybe people dont post here becuase they are sick of hearing the same broken record, 4 yr. old whining from you.

clips from a single post from you (just 2 posts ago):




I'm working on my personal fight for justice. (good god shut up)


Not all NJ pilots are paid professional wages. (same as above)



The FedEx job was an instructor position which would have required our family to move to Memphis. We weren't interested in doing that. Not that that had anything to do with the topic of the thread, but just to set the record straight. He turned it down for American. Things have worked out well for us.

(why would you EVER share such personal stuff with millions of strangers on the web?)


Are you referring to my belief that the frac pilots would do well to exercise their right to collectively bargain for a fair contract?

(oh yeah, we know your belief by now)



It just goes on and on...its wonderful you are so concerned but you have become a broken record, that uneducated voice that chimes up the same garbage every single freakin time without missing a beat.

Trust us, everyone in this industry wants to see all other pilots make more money, have better QOL etc...there is less us-vs-them than you think.

And yeah, maybe a little more time in the kitchen and off your Union stool would get you accustomed to the heat?
