Who is the pilot Brian Gallagher?

1000 apps isn't much compared with the attrition & hiring currently at the majors. NJA already scraping for the bottom of the barrel?

Exactly.....

From what I understand he was a management pilot who hasn't worked for Netjets in many years.

That's great and all but how long for upgrade, i hear that captains there rarely move on to other jobs and basically never leave.

Yep. Listen to the crowd here talk about how how the place sucks, then in the next breath say that new hires will never upgrade because nobody ever leaves.

So NJ states they are hiring and then receives 1000 apps. How does anything in that statement mean that NJ is scraping the bottom of the barrel?

Maybe they can hire enough to keep up with the ones leaving.

So did Brian quit to find a better job, or was he fired during one of managements purges ?

 

[Some guy]

Funny stuff. Less than a dozen let go out of 3000 and it's a management purge. The reasons for termination were valid. If you're being told they weren't, you're being lied to.

I thought most pilots knew major carriers carry around 12,000 apps on file and would see the messily 1,000 number as a laughable number. Especially in a company prepared press release. Sorry I needed to explain it.
