NJ Recalls

[Rubber Ducky]

100% increase in interest to return to NJ!!!!

One week ago, we thought we only had 8 pilots who want to return to NetJets but now it appears that we actually have 16!!! The additional 8 might just want back pay though.

Busy season will be interesting, although the company doesn't seem too worried about it or else they would have recalled some folks already in order to have them trained up by then

Word from some buds that drink with some mgt. types is that they know they can't staff the airline this fall and are counting on a contract so they can call back.

It's not that they don't care or don't know. It's that they want to show everyone they are right and Njasap and the others are not.
Theese are people that have made a life of telling organized labor how its going to be and come hell or high water they want to show us this.

Njasap leadership; as a 495er grow a set and tell the membership and the company that we are the face of Netjets and WE will shut the doors if we want.

Nja pilots; tell Njasap leaders that they need to grow a set. I'm not a hostage. And mgt can go eat a d!ck with 1% a year.

10/250

What he said.....

I'm betting Hansell has a job at F&H waiting on him if he ends up shutting NJA down. My question, for all you middle management types at NJA reading this board, what's your plan? Think Hansell is going to take you with him?

 

[billybob]

The sad thing is there are guys still thinking that Nja can't make it unless they extend or give something up.

Wake up

There are more people working at Nja now than in 07. The only group with less are the pilots.

I'll go back to the barn to look for my pitch fork now

If what they told you is true, then this EMT is a bunch of bigger fools than I took them for... :what:

It's beyond poorly written. It flatly says anything over 0% and there will be recalls. If that's not what was intended, WTF does it say that?

During a time when pilots are on furlough or are downgraded to a
lesser paying position, the subcontracting of NetJets Aviation, Inc.
flights as defined in this Section, are to be at zero (0) percent, pro-
vided the Company may subcontract (sell off) NetJets Aviation, Inc.
flights as defined in this Agreement on a maximum of eleven (11)
calendar days during each quarter.

IMHO, I think the part after "provided" also applies in the 2nd paragraph although it is not mentioned again. Basically, the definition of zero percent has been established in the first paragraph to include the 11 day sell-off caveat for the remainder of the section. Again, it could have been worded less ambiguously, but, there has been no dispute (to my knowledge) over the intent since the signing of the IBB in 2007. But no one really gave a ******************** back then anyway.

Mize, I'd love to avoid going back, but I can't see that happening. Been up for promotions twice since I've been in my current job to have the positions given to me, then taken away. Still making the same paycheck I was back in 2011 when I started save for the 3% COL bumps each year. Then again health insurance just went up 3% so I'm damn near back where I started.

OPEC, I hope you can get back to NJ pronto. A lot of good people have experienced significant hardships since the furlough. On the bright side, the company is going to exceed the 11 days at some point, probably sooner rather than later. Then we can get some recalls going! That is what we should all hope for rather than wasting time and energy trying to nitpick 1.5(C)(4).

Again, just my thoughts.

A normal English speaking person reads the bold print above as once zero is exceeded, a maximum of 11 days may be subcontracted while recalls are occurring. It says maximum, not minimum. Am I communicating? Maximum / Minimum. Am I communicating? Good.

English aside ...

My recollection is there are bargaining notes that show the intent of each section of the CBA ... the negotiators of this section have weighed in on and verified its intent when this first became an issue....

If this is correct ... I would think we unfortunately have no recourse here. Any court or arbiter could verify the intent that the company be allowed 11 days worth of sell-offs without penalty ....
