NJA Pilots Vote

[captain dad]

Correct me if I am wrong, but we still need a real high percentage total vote so we don't leave the door open for the teamsters to protest and drag us back into the NMB. Right?

Either way, JUST VOTE!

The union leadership wasn't even smart enough to make the packet not look like junk mail.

Wouldn't it be poetic justice to discover the union got decertified because the union couldn't get the package to look important enough to open?

and furthermore....Ahh... but there's the rub!

(pirate talk because those stupid boots represent so much pillaging)

When it gets tough, (and it will because it always does when the contract is up), those paid volunteers will not have the strength of the national union and they will see how STUPID and greedy what they are doing is now.

REMEMBER THAT NJW PROFITS FROM NJASAP BECAUSE HER HUSBAND IS A PAID "VOLUNTEER" ​

SHE HAS A PERSONAL AND VESTED INTEREST IN IT'S SUCCESS. ​

Just because you enjoy verbally attacking a woman does not hide the fact from all of us reading this board that you are a complete idiot and have no absolutley no frickin' idea what is going on with this vote or its process...I suggest you take off the blinders,read up and get back to us.
Your turn.

b19 has no business posting ANYTHING about NJA....he knows exactly $hit about nothing pertaining to NJA.

so just disregard those posts and we'll continue the discussion.

 

[727C47]

just use the ignore function when it comes to b19,and other negative,self destructive types,much easier on the blood pressure,and if everyone does it,soon they will only be posting to themselves,sad,little men that they are.

 

[captain dad]

Have you voted yet?

 

[fischman]

Yes...

 

[Helmsalee]

Tried but my class was the one cut. Nothing sinister, they had to submit a list. The list they sent was dated 4/24. We started on 4/28. We missed the cut and cannot vote but the rest of you can. Don't waste the chance.

From a Flight Options Pilot

Everyone Vote!

I know you will be successful and congratulate you all!
I have ran into hundreds of you on the road and everyone of you have been full of information and support. I thank you and the vast majority of FO pilots thank you. All I can say is "What a first class group of aviators".
I wish I made a different decision many years ago!

NetJets is a Berkshire Hathaway company.

Last year was our most profitable ever.

We have $2.5 billion in now aircraft on order.

The only things keeping us from growing faster is training slots and we can't get airplanes fast enough.

We have NEVER furloughed a pilot.

You future would be secure.

Incorrect.

There was a time, albeit it was very long ago, back when Netjets was still EJA,that they DID furlough.

Just a small point, but thought I'd mention it.

Times are good for us. This is probably one of the most secure jobs in aviation right now.

Just know that our history suggests anything could happen in the future.

You are most likely referring to a time when we flew a few lears as a Part 135 Charter Operator.

Before Berk Hath.

Before the Fractional Concept was born.

Before Santulli.

A completely different busuiness model.

A completely differnet set of books, circumstances.

Pretty much everything.

Ok. Got it.

A more accurate way of stating what you did is to say that there were furloughs once at a company that operated with the name Executive Jet Aviation. EJA was the preceeding company that provided the Operating Certificate (nothing more) to NetJets Aviation.

Shortly after 2001, Netjets (then known as Executive Jet) did furlough, but it was Executive Jet management (EJM) a sister company to Executive Jet Aviation (EJA).

Flylow and Ozpilot,

Actually, at the time of the furlough, we were operating Citation SII's. This was prior to 2001. I'm not sure of the EXACT date, but I want to say early to mid 90's.

Santulli already owned the company and had started the fractional business. In the beginning though, no one knew about fractionals and the program did very poorly. Santulli dumped tens of millions into the company just to keep it going.

I wasn't working here at the time, but a close friend of mine was. She was one of the pilots furloughed. She eventually was hired by the FAA, but didn't like the work and came back to EJA and is now a captain on the X.

So it was EJA that furloughed, and it was not before the fractional model had started, but after.

However, as Flylow pointed out, things are VERY different now than when the fractional business was just in its infancy. For now, it really is one of the most secure jobs in aviation.

I truly hope it stays that way!

I just wanted to point out that Fisch's statement that we've NEVER furloughed wasn't entirely accurate.
