Does NJA/NJI have a policy on the acceptance of gratuities?

VVJM265 doesn't know SeaSpray, he has the same amount of civilian VIP flying experience as NetJetWife and is just as willing to offer his unfounded opinion. He knows he isn't going to get a position in a corporate flight department so he's kissing up to the boys in the fracs.

Blah, blah, blah...To condem the civilian pilot for taking a tip, or not, because one didn't accept them, or was never offered a tip while in the service is simply wrong because the two jobs have entirely different sets of standards and aims.

Apparently reading comprehension is not a Navy skill, or are you a Marine? That would explain a lot. What part of this post do you not understand?

When I was in my military uniform no [one] would have dreamed of offering me a gratuity. They repected me as a professional pilot...I have never expected that to be any different in my civilian uniform.

On another level, at two of my subsequent positions the company Ops Manuals have specifically prohibited the acceptance of gratuities.

The guy flys Gulfstreams for a Fortune 50 company and he's saying the standards are the same - no tipping - not only at his present company, but also at his previous civilian employer as well.

And just as case you missed it my post as well, my company operations manual also states that tips will be politely declined.

You sure can tell that the NJI guys don't like that the bids for G-Whiz Captain and F/O were released this week. "Ask not for whom the bell tolls..."

Says who?

Your going to be surprised how the NJI pilots treat the transplants. As long as they keep those tacky tie pins with horses and rotary wheels in their pockets, I dont think anyone will skip a beat.

And I expect the same when I bid over to Captain in that big weird looking Citation XIVIIVXXVI (or what ever it is) in 4 years.

Wolf....As long as you wear that tacky tie pin with the horses and rotary wheel on your jacket lapel you'll get the respect you deserve....from your fellow pilots and, more importantly, from Management!!!!!!

I understand you'll enjoy the Ultra or 400XP....

I really think you all should park the attitude, bid the G's if you like, and go over to just get along to just make this whole thing work. That would be the best course of action. Especially in light of the fact that this whole mess still needs to survive a single carrier petition, you all need to get along.

And yes, I've owned one of those pins and yes, they are tacky...

The overwhelming majority of NJI folks I have had the pleasure of meeting at pleased at the contract we got. They do not feel threaten or concerned about losing their jobs because the "Yellow ties" will be flying the "G's".

The future may hold a merger between the 2 groups...time will tell. If it should happen, the professionalism that both side demonstrate in their respective cockpits will prevail and things will get done.

I just think its fun yanking the chain of a few "select" individuals on this board.....They provide a good number of us a certain amount of entertainment.

I couldn't agree more... You've been one my personal favorites!

Anyone that flys for a living is happy that you've gotten a better deal, aren't we all glad to see more money ? I would just hope while you enjoy the fruits of your labor you ALL do it with a certain amount of class.

I think if you ever have a chance to see NJA,NJI, EJM, Flex, FLOP's and CS guys sitting around together at various FBO's you'll realize that most of us see eachother in a much better light then what might be displayed on this Board.

Heck, we've actually been known to share crew cars and ride in airport shuttles together.....Of course....seniority first.

I've heard from some friends in CMH that there are already many training on the plane from mx to pilots. I hear that we are trying to get a 121 certificate and would likely be flying around some sports teams with them. EJM already does charter on large airplanes like these through others 121 certificates.

[gunfyter]

i have heard this too but I must have missed the 757 bid.... How can pilots be training if there was no bid?

 

[netjetwife]

My husband has only heard that NJ had been approached by an owner of a 757 to manage it for him. Wouldn't there have been a big announcement if they were already training people? I'm with Gunfyter on this one.

 

[RTRHD]

I just heard it was a EJM deal.

I would have thought also. I've heard that NJA has hired a company to write all the 121 material needed to get certified and are looking at possibly buying someone else's certificate.

The planes would come from a company already flying the teams around, we would just take over management. I don't believe that NJA would actually purchase these planes.

I don't have any first hand knowledge of who the personnel in training are, but the source is pretty reliable.

What happened to the 121 certificate Executive Jet had flying 707s?
