My actions? I'm furloughed. I'm just giving you an education in how scope erosion works. You can lead a horse to water...

Sorry, I didn't mean your actions personally. I really hope you find a good gig, any ideas where you might end up?

The only thing that changed, in my opinion, is that the Union got them all stirred up over an inconsequential issue.

Just to pick one of the many issues that the company has sent our way, let's look at the 401K. The company unilaterally changed the plan and provider, despite a contractual requirement that any changes would have to be agreed by the union. How is screwing with my retirement fund, in direct violation of the contract, "inconsequential"?

What a shame. We have one of the best flying jobs in the world, and y'all are going to screw it up. Every time I think I have seen the depths of Union Stupidity Stampeding, something like this gets started.

No, you and your ilk are screwing it up if you give in on scope. Please, I implore you. Educate yourself (and the others in the minority view) on the RLA and our contract.

It is boring reading, I know, but our collective future depends on an educated pilot force. As your posts have more than implied, you're far off the mark on being on target here.

I am trying to save their employer, so they will have jobs. I feel you are trying to throw my fellow pilots under the bus, not intentionally, but by the results of your actions.

With all due respect, negotiating away scope will not save your employer. If the situation is so dire that absent this concession our jobs go away, they were not long for this world anyway...

Furthermore, if you truly believe (as you have written in a previous post) that NetJets is one of the best jobs in the world, why would you not do everything you could to protect the things that make it so great?!

I am assuming that the pay, work rules, health insurance, retirement contributions, etc. that you enjoy are what make this one of the best aviation jobs out there? How long do you think that will last once EJM is competing for a more significant share of your flying? Most EJM pilots are making 50-75% of the pay (and nowhere near the work rules or other perks) that you enjoy so:

Why would management continue "overpaying" you if someone else will do it so much cheaper?

What would stop management from transferring an ever increasing amount of your flying to EJM if you piss away scope?

Ahh he's ex-charter, ex-corporate....He's used to getting b!tch slapped. Really, you're aviation history explains everything. (no offense to any one else with nothing but charter/corporate only backgrounds.) But hopefully for the rest of you, you're spinal matter hasn't creeped to your brain and ruined your cognitive thought process like G4.


I sure am glad your ideas are shared by maybe 2% of the rest of the general aviation world.

I still think he's mgmt. Probably S.E.

It's all a conspiracy.

I do so enjoy the threats. They confirm my previously held opinions, which is gratifying. Thanks.

there you go confusing threats with facts again

51% get the pilot group a yes vote and you boys don't have it

The previous administrator changed things, limiting our investment choices. That's is why the change was made to Schwab.
