NJA furloughed pilots can work NJ China

[208starcheck]

Check your email. LOA signed by NJASAP and NJA for active and furloughed pilots to work in NJ China. Hopefully this helps someone looking for work.

Do ya forward your resume at Panda Express?

Really? What aircraft types and would an expat package be included?

You can also keep your current plan if you want.

And the usual suspects are pi$$ing and moaning that the EBoard signed off on an LOA that provides seniority list protection for furloughed or active pilots that agree to go fly a kite in China.

And those same usual suspects would have CRUCIFIED the EBoard if they HADN'T signed off on the very same LOA for "not supporting the 495."

Basically, the usual suspects would pi$$ and moan if this EBoard found a cure for cancer and the byproduct was free gasoline....

Gut, LOAs during Section 6 is foolish at best. Besides, this LOA fails to define working conditions, salaries, living costs, etc. Supposedly one of the requirements is extensive experience in the region. How many of our furloughed pilots do you think meet that?

This is something company evidently needed, and we could have used that leverage to work more reasonably toward a new CBA. Leverage is hard to come by when you're limited by the RLA. We just gave it away.

Considering the number of furloughees working for the military, military contractors, and international operators, more than you would think.

 

[Pervis]

Quite possible indeed. However, we could have insisted on at least a partial recall for agreeing to anything. This is something the EMT needed, and we blew it.

I'm just not seeing it as a big deal. You check out NJC, you apply, you get hired, and it's basically treated as a leave of absence. You come back at a later time if you want. Life goes on.

It has been pretty funny to watch that group self-implode. They stopped working on behalf of the NJ pilots a long time ago and now are just hoping for some sort of "I told you so moment". BTW it was that same group of former leaders that signed off on the NJME LOA - constancy and integrity of thought is gone with them.
