NJ Recalls

[jetlag7]

Time to revive an old thread.....

If what they told us in recurrent this week holds up, (demand continues on it's current trajectory) it looks like the remaining pilots on the furlough list should be receiving a recall notice before the year is out!

Great news for some, bad timing for others! I'm personally struggling with the decision to come back or cut ties all together. About 140 from the bottom. Expecting a letter in the mail before the year is out for sure. Been working a pretty sweet Part 91 CE-680 gig for the past 5 years. Based on some of the negatives I've heard about the current EMT I'm very skeptical about a going back. Definitely deferring as long as I can. Anybody else feel that way?

I think the word "demand" is misleading... Demand for pilots might be up, due to pilots leaving the ship as fast as possible...

You won't find a single pilot with a kind word for the EMT here. The EMT is hell bent on a concessionary contract, and stretching out negotiations for years.


In other words, you're coming back to a company that is experiencing war on all fronts, with scheduling that is horrible. You'll be fatigued at least one day every seven you're on the road. All responsibility to monitor your rest will be on your shoulders. Planes are moving as fast as they can airline second and third crews to them.


That said, it's still the best "fractional" to work for. Which honestly, I don't think is saying much.

What he said.

The Fractionals had their 2-3 years in the spotlight.... The only time Netjets was the place to be was after the '07 IBB until about mid 2009....

nothing but smiles on the 4 JUS guys going back to NJ

Really good news. Stating the obvious, but pilot stock goes up with scarcity of applicants.

I'll bet. Nja's safety standards are pretty high.

Beat me to it.

Yeah people are bailing NJ like crazy. I think it was a whopping 9 this month and 6 of them were old farts retiring. Current NJ pilots all talk bad about NJ but they will never leave.

As for me I will run back to NJ. It is a no brainer versus my current job. I know they may not pass out as many free gifts to me but my pay will be set and benefits free and I can live where I want. I hope the deferral rate stays high and I will be back soon. Fly Auburn you should defer....hahaha

That is problably why they have hired so many JUS guys over the years, feedback I got was that NJ training wasn't as good.

Actually its because NJ has a lot of pilots with college degrees.

Yes because almost everyone has one and we know they have nothing to do with flying an airplane. I also know NJ has hired without the college degree and the guys are good sticks and well liked by their fellow pilots.

So what is the recruitment plan at USA then?

Fogged mirror is our plan, if you are breathing you have a shot. Invite everyone to interview who meets qualification, interview everyone that shows up, when you are told to start a class go through the pile of people interview and starting offering jobs, and then start a class with whoever shows up. Then when almost no one shows up, repeat above process. Saw the same thing in 2000, 2007, and now, but this time I thing this the new operating mode with the growing hiring boom.

I predict we will not be able to hire in near future due to the shortage of pilots who want to work at places like this. The company will face the reality of the only way to fix this with money.
