We won't be coming to CMH for company indoc since NJI will continue to operate as a separate company, with a separate operations center, a separate operating certificate, and yes, some different company policies. The only difference after the "merger" is that the entire pilot group will be represented by NJASAP and the collective bargaining agreement (and applicable LOA's)./QUOTE]
OK, can you please tell me where you're getting your information from? I know you're a smart guy. You passed a Gulfstream type ride so you have to have SOME brains!Nonetheless, I don't quite think you know what "single carrier" means. If you think the only thing that will change is that you will now be part of a Union, you're in for a rude awakening. No, I don't know how the specifics will pan out but I can tell you that IF the two entities were to join in recognition of a "single carrier", then we won't be operating as two separate companies. Please keep that in mind while you're typing away trying to explain to me how it's going to be.
G200_PILOT,
Technically, NetJets could maintain separate operating certificates and separate operations, and at same time, have NJA/NJI/NJLA recognized as a "Single Transportation System."
Does it really matter under which certificate any of the NetJets aircraft are operated under? This holds true as long as, all NetJets pilots are placed on the same seniority list; and, all NetJets pilots operate under the same CBA. I.e. The Gulfstream pilots could remain on a separate certificate with recurrents conducted away from CMH.
LOA 01-013 currently states that the current CBA and attached LOA's will apply to all pilots on the NetJets seniority list equally. The only concessions LOA 01-013 gives the Company for the Gulfstream operation are: The 15-Day Flex Schedule will not be offered; and, certain amendments to the process of vacancy awards and the application of seat/equipment/program locks.

Gutshot is correct . . . G200 is wrong . . . 'single carrier' does not mean that two divisions cannot operate separately. Even IF the NJI pilots are forced into the union, the word 'merger' is still inappropriate - separate operations have been assured by Woodbridge.
YankeeEcho,
The operations, as far as, the FAA is concerned may or may not be "merged." I believe that this would be the only correct statement! For goodness sake, are our combined operations one seamless and
"merged" operation in the eyes of the owners? I certainly hope so!
NetJets may or may not keep the operating certificates separate. This would be in the same fashion as the NJLA certificate is being kept separately from the NJA certificate.
Once a "Single Transportation System" is recognized, the pilot groups will be merged onto one seniority list! I believe that the Virtual Seniority List will become the "official" Company Seniority List.
Furthermore, all pilots on the Company Seniority List will be covered, protected, and bound by all the provisions of the 2007 CBA and its associated LOA's. The 2007 CBA will apply whether a pilot flies under the NJA, NJI, NJI(BDL), or NJLA FAA certificates. Therefore, NJI will not be able to utilize Company policies that are not in compliance with the CBA.
Whether NetJets management will or will not approach the union leadership to negotiate amendments to the 2007 CBA as it pertains to the NJI operation is to be seen.
