I finally had to let sail an email of a different shade. Many people have been reading the threads and posts over these last few years of "negotiations" and there have been the occasional voices of reasons that quietly point out what we should all be working towards. Most of us know that we are blessed in life too....
So. What about the owners of our company--our REAL employers that sit in the back seats of our respective aircraft? They are the company we really work for. NJA does not own anything except a brand, a logo, a long-term lease on a big hangar in CMH, a lease on a building in Okatie, SC., and some consumable office supplies... "Our" airplanes are owned by the folks that sit in the back, just like any corporate job. We owe it to them to remain a fiscally sound group that provides professional, efficient, enjoyable, and safe transport. Service is all we’ve got to sell. All these airplanes with matching paint schemes will remain---and there will always be a group of qualified individuals willing to operate them. RTS has always felt that many of the NJA folks were woefully underpaid. The union folks would NEVER let that sentiment escape out onto the mean streets of dis-information. RTS could also never give us a 100 percent raise either. NO ONE would work for another fractional provider, it would cease all growth within this industry, and the people that can afford to buy/buy into turbine aircraft would just create their own smaller time-share/managed aircraft DBA’s. Be thoughtful, be considerate to others, consider truth. Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build a better relationship and create additional good will? And will it be beneficial to all concerned?

And finally, consider how much we all enjoy the level of “service” that we all suffer through as we commute on the airlines to and from work. That same level of airline service guarantees us job security…for now.
 
ELLAY,
Thank you for a post that brings a level of personal responsibility and thought to our career. We certainly are wired to want to blame everyone else (RTS,BB,NJI,NJA,IBT,MEC,MOLES,etc..) and think that "they're" out to screw us.
While I acknowledge that it does help sometimes to vent in forums like this, I choose to believe the majority of people in aviation are good people that wouldn't say half the things that we see in print here.
The truth in my humble opinion is that when it comes to actually doing our job, we all want to do our best and that we do understand that the folks we're flying need to feel good about they're product or they'll go elswhere.
Hopefully, most of the people you meet in this business are conducting themselves professionally and with a sense of pride in their job.
Cheers,
ET

ELLAY,

You are negotiating with NJA thru your representation, not the owners in the back.....

Who has operational control. Who writes your paycheck?

Depending on the type of operation (91, 91K or 135), it could be the owner in the back or NetJets. :cool:

Operational control you say?

Small exerpt from the NJA FOM...

The Vice President Flight Operation/Director of Operarions has overall responsibiloty for operational control and has authorized the persons listed in FOM 1.11 to exercise operational control over program and non-program flights under their supervision, as outllined below.

91K flights: the share owner and NJA are jointly responsible.

My paycheck is signed by NetJets. We couldn't fit 3000 individual signatures on each check.
