NJA B757 & 767 aircraft

We should let you bid it out of seniority because you were an airline pilot? Hey that sounds great! My 13 years with EJA/NJA can take a back seat since you have the all the experience....guess again.

some of us new hires already have over 5,000 hours in those things and over 25 years of recurrent trainings in all kinds of stuff down at Ft. Widget, but I don't think NJA management really cares.......

hmmm thanks Diesel. Just say the 757/767's go to EJM, will there be an LOA (like NJI) that says for each EJM pilot trained on the 757, one NJA pilot will be trained as well?
I wonder if the flight attendants will have a chance to go to the 757/767 as well?

Disclaimer: I don't know anything about EJM. Do their pilots have their own seniority list? Does EJM have a union?

Does Netjets have a 121 certificate. It isn't easy getting one of these things these days, and you they would need one for the this type of proposed operation.

Go, they applied for it last year and the last I heard we were blessed 121 as of last fall and it will go under EJM.

NJALA has also been in the works to get a 121 cert and from what i heard a couple of months ago the exact reason they were getting it was for the 757,767's.

BBJPilot was allways quick on here to explain what was going on over there. We still miss him RIP

Whooaaa there fella, no guessing involved...nobody can take away your 13 years. Just day dreaming about days gone by. I got mine and I hope you get yours.
By the way, years ago, ALPA made sure that no unemployed Eastern captain could take away my slot with his "experience". Good for me, bad for them, some were my friends... its the nature of the system we've set up.
Make no mistake, I'm happy to be at NJA , even near the bottom of the list.
I pray you are never faced with a similar situation late in your carrer, and that NJA remains a good place for all of us.

I'll be convinced they are coming when they show up on property and NJA pilots are in training to fly them. Until then, it's just a bunch of hooey on an anonymous message board.

Maybe so. The same guy just told me that a NJA BBJ 6 year Capt makes 195K with 7 on 7 off. Is that possible considering the low wages for the mainline pilots? I know the guy is not BS-ing the 57/67s but that seems like a lot of buck for that operation.

You might be right, but then you could be the one who is full of hooey. Just kidding. I guess we will know pretty quick.

on the reserve schedule a 6 year BBJ captain makes $198k. 7/7 makes $167k. but that is before overtime and all that fun stuff.

Wow, that is a huge disparity between the NJI guys, much less any NJA pilots. How did that ever happen? More power to them. Makes them just about the highest paid B737 pilots out there in todays world.
