Question for NJ guys. I'm currently a regional CA /commuter/ line holder. Don't see career progression with current employer. Looking for stability and more time with family, even if it means 7 on 7 off. That's better than 5 on 2 off currently. I would appreciate any feedback
 
Read through all the threads. These guys hate their jobs, are underpaid, treated poorly by the company, and are facing the reduction of medical benefits to the same level as what everyone else in the country has. Oh, and occasionally some will complain about the color of their ties or something.

On second thought, go work for SWA. I hear they pay well and you wouldn't have to settle for such a low quality job.

but, but, but, they are true professionals and should be recognized as how much better they are than the rest of the pilot population.
 
Yip, why don't you tell me more about how your above comment fosters civil discussions on this board? You complain about the name calling and childish comments and yet you pile on. I guess it is only civil when the post agrees with your opinion?

Egads!, caught in the act of being myself. Just trying to keep the thread alive, trying to get my thread to surpass the "1260 days to go" thread.

But along those lines, why is it that I cannot be considered a professional in my role of mentoring young pilots starting out in their careers? Giving them the skills and training that allow them to move to the next level, like the 26 pilots that I have, recruited, recommended for hire and trained who over the years that have moved onto NJ. But if you are NJ pilot attacking anyone who does not agree with the 100% pro-union stance, that is well, the definition of a true professional?

I'm glad I could add to that count.

I have never said you weren't a professional. You are right, we need sage advice for the younger generation of pilots. We become the pilots that trained us.

Giving them the skills and training that allow them to move to the next level, like the 26 pilots that I have, recruited, recommended for hire and trained who over the years that have moved onto NJ.

You take pride in that and I think people should be proud of their work. Why do you bash the NetJets pilot group and then take pride in sending quality pilots to that same group?

But if you are NJ pilot attacking anyone who does not agree with the 100% pro-union stance, that is well, the definition of a true professional?

The NetJets pilots are asking for what they think they are worth. They take pride in the work they put in each tour just as you take pride in mentoring young pilots and sending them off into the better flying jobs. How does that make them any less of a professional than you think you are? "Pro-Union" might just be more like "united in understanding your true worth." In this case I would find it safe to say until you have been a NetJets pilot in these current times it's hard to understand the challenges and frustrations they face and overcome daily.

You will have schedule stability but likely little to no career stability. I do not believe based on their actions that current management foresees NJA as a going concern. You will be a probationary pilot in what has become the most toxic labor/mgmt relationship I've ever seen.
 
It won't go far. People left theit passwords on company devices and turned them back into the company for IT problems!!

Please stop doing that!!

It's an interesting case, but unfortunately, I see the company winning this one. The device is company owned, many use it on company provided time and WiFi.

There's a burden of responsibility for each employee's actions to be monitored in the workplace, (think breaches of confidentiality regarding owner movements, trading in ellicit materials or Post 9/11 security concerns). It would also seem pretty obvious that they can watch us "while we work" on these devices at the server.

I don't think we can stop them doing it. We just need to stop using company devices to go on websites such as these, or for any personal use.

Seems obvious, I know!

After reading this, I agree. If it was in fact done on company devices, they set themselves up. One has to be smarter than that.

I've seen people posting on the message board on company i-Pad while in recurrent!
