NJA sucks

[TurboJetCpt]

I, for one, am proud to be associated with NetJets. It's a great company to work for and we've come a long way. The spirit of the company is still alive in the hearts of the many dedicated, hard-working professionals that work here. Just not in the oustpoken few that choose to use this outlet to voice their contempt.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH HEEE HEEE HEE HEEE HEEEEEEEEEE

You are such a stupid ass !

I'll bet you get beat up a lot in high school don't you?

Hey just wondering if any of you were one of the 100 or so crewmembers excused from work mid-tour, and sent home at company expense to take care of your houses and family during one the busier weekends this month because of the hurricane?

It must be really awful to work such an evil guy as Santulli.

Netjets really sucks!

 

[gunfyter]

Its the right thing to do. What's your point Fred.

Who would not send employees home during an emergency?

Who would continue to work for such a company?

Who would want to fly as pax an a flight with the pilot whose home and family are being pounded by a hurricane. Will he be rested and able to concentrate on your flight?

Its the right thing to do and credit is given for doing the right thing.... But you don't get a Medal for it.

Any shift or office worker would not show up to work under the same circumstances. Anybody travelling on company business at any company would be allowed to return home.

We are doing the right thing but I would imagine a company that did not do the right thing in a case like this and had employees who had family casualties in a disaster that could have been avoided if the employee were allowed to take care of the home situation... that company might be open to law suits.

But that is not us. We are doing the right thing. The only decent thing. But you do not get a medal for taking care of your people during an emergency. Taking care of your people is a Leadership Responsibility.

We do a good job of it. But its not like we can opt NOT to do a good job of it. When you have an operation that depends on sending people on the road for more than half of their life... this is a COST of DOING Business.

Gunfyter - is right.

Gunfyter, I agree with you 100%. This is a cost of doing business and it is the right thing to do. Not all companies feel the same way today. It is good that the company doesn't follow the letter of the law in this case, as there would not be pilots going home in the hurricane zone to take care of their families and their homes. It isn't always as bad as it seems between the company and the pilots.

 

[gunfyter]

Duke,

Yes.... The title of this thread is not correct. it is likely another emotional response... to a long wait for a new CBA. An exageration.

We do the right thing almost always ... unless it involves pilot salaries.

 

[FLYLOW22]

I guess doublewides count as homes.

What about the all the corporate pilots who were taking their aircraft away and leaving their families back to deal with all that.

I'm sure you will always be able to find a few examples of companies that are totally insensitive to the well being of their employees but I bet most reputable companies would allow their pilots to return to their families once they have repositioned the company aircraft.

Keep trying to stir the pot though, Publisher. Sooner or later you might hit on a valid point. Kinda like the blind squirrel eventually finding an acorn if he searches hard enough.

You're right, Santulli got the medal for how well the company treated the guard and reserve guys that got sent out. Don't know if it ever got mentioned on this forum with all the Santulli bashing going on...about how the company supplements salaries for people called to active duty. The vast majority being pilots. Once again because it was the right thing to do.

I don't think that was "A COST OF DOING BUSINESS"!

 

[Starman]

The reason he's so generous with the offer to supplement the salary of folks called up to active duty is that 99% of them make a helluva lot more on active duty than they do at Netjest. No loss and a lot of good PR.

 

[FredGarvin]

Whatever, the union rhetoric is becoming so deep you need boots.

Starman, you're full of it. I work with a number of the "folks" in Ohio Air Guard and they and their families appreciate every dime!

The flags that flew over Afghanistan and Iraq that were given in appreciation to the company are testament to that.

 

[Majik]

It's the law, numbskull. If their guard or reserve unit gets called out, Santulli can't prevent them from going. You want to give Santulli a medal for following the law? Maybe for Santulli, following the law once in a blue moon does deserve a medal.

Not to mention, he doesn't have to pay them one dime because they make much much more deployed in the guard or reserve than they will working for Santulli.

 

[Starman]

Here's a pretty typical scenario for a Guard pilot at Nuts-R-Us.

O-3 on flight pay with 8 years total service -

Base Pay $4070.10
BAS $ 183.99
BAH $ 854.10
Flight Pay $ 650.00

Total $5758.19 per month


McNutjob Captain with 5 years seniority- $5082 per month

Yeah - I can see that I was way out of line with my assessment Fred. If I were to go back on active duty, I'd be taking down about $90K a year. Next time you wanna argue stuff about military pay, you might want to pick somebody that didn't serve over 20 years to argue with. Better yet - best to just keep your yap shut about stuff you don't know squat about.

I have not kept up on NJI, but what exactly is going on over there to cause such an uprising? I was under the impression 2 years ago that it was a great place to work?
Not trying to bait anything just curious of what mgmt is doing to cause such a violent atmosphere?
