NJA Downgrades

[barnyard]

How many of these weak decision-making pilots really exist at NJA?

50% of the PICS of the fleet I came from.

Yup, every other tour I was paired with a barely competent tool box.

advantage

Yip, you're one of the few who realized that.

Some of our guys are getting hired in places, but with employers being able to pick and choose, an NJA seniority number does seem to hinder with some companies.

An NJ guy is going to be with us for a long time, if guy stays 3 yrs, it works out of us. Plus they all made Captain.

Got turned down. Said pilots drank too much coffee and they were afraid we'd steal it.

Call it what you will. There is a fine line here. We as pilots as a whole are "Get R Done" types. When the sh!t hit the fan as far as the econmy went and the industry toowe went into save the owners mode. Now we might have created a problem by showng how far we are willng to go. Go figure pilots have been screwing themselves snce the 30's. His has nothing to do with the number of furloughs we have though it's not aiding them either. Take it for what's it's worth. I have been filling reports out and will contiue to do so...

You, on the other hand, have made it apparent your love for NJA. Most of us 495 feel the opposite.

Of course you do! You're furloughed. It's completely understandable that you'd feel that way (not trying to be a dick here). The same goes for being bitter. No one, at least not me, is going to fault you for that. However, spewing hate and animosity toward NJ does two things. 1. Absolutely nothing to improve your situation. 2. Degrades your character to the point of appearing to be just another low class, disgruntled, fool.

I've lost jobs too before and I'm well aware of the psychological effect it has on your moral and self esteem. It might make you feel a little better to vent once in a while, but continuously spewing out hateful, bitter insults...especially poorly thought out ones, just makes people dismiss you that much sooner. Add to that the "I hope I never come back" crap, and now we're back to roughly age 6. Again, there are alot of folks on these boards who know what you're going through...you aren't the first and won't be the last, but at least try and get a grip dude. Maybe take a step away from the boards for a while...you'll feel better.

It's obvious there a few of here showing your maturity in this industry. When it comes to getting furloughed a good quote to keep in mind is "those who have and those who will". I find you are and you know who you are, are taking your frustration out o. Who ever will listen by bashing NJA pilts and guys who you have flown with. Sayig 50 percent of guys you have flown with are tools. Have you never flown anywhere else EVERYplace has tools but not that high of numbers nor does this place. I am going to be frank here GET OVER IT. I know it SUX. I have been there and may be there again who knows. It was not the pilots who got us here it was a few few key desision making guys that screwed this place up. The pilot group got the contract we have today that made you want to come here. My advise, this too will pass. No need to respond if it's negative because I DONT CARE!!!!

Come on CRJ, quit being so bitter about this.....you know and I know that there are plenty of jobs out there to choose from. Its funny how its always the captains of the world who claim that they have been furloughed before and we know how you feel blah blah blah. We have every right to be pissed at this f'n company. I have moved on and out of aviation, so I really don't care anymore about the drama in CMH.

Take it from somebody in your shoes, it will get better and there is definitely life after Santulli. This job market and furlough thing hurts more than macho nacho and the rest of the employed crowd at NJA will ever know. Keep your chin up dude (and the rest of my fellow furloughed aviators looking for work)!
