NJA to NJI

[NightFlight]

Just wondering if it is possible to move from NJA to the Gulfstreams at NJI. I know they require time in the Gulfstream, so are all their pilots hired from the 'outside'?

NJI is going to be merged into the NJA seniority list by the time this contract is done. No worries.

Is this a good thing overall for the company? I'm sure there are many opinions, but sounds complicated . . .will it all be based on date of hire?

Thanks for your help.

Let's see - you've got 2000 pilots that have been loyal, dues paying union members and 250 pilots that haven't. Do you really think it's going to be by date of hire?

Ouch! Wasn't aware NJI was non-union. Sounds messy. Is this going to be part of the 'hopefully' new contract, or is the new contract solely about the pay?

Man,

Wonder how the GV pilots will like the Ultra?

Won't it be funny watching them as FO's for the next three years?

Thats not going to happen. If anything happens they will stay right in the Gulfstreams with a fence and it will make not any difference to them at all. everything will be just like before...

they probably don't even know what an ultra is...and probably won't ever need to know.

Keep dreaming. Never going to happen. The only thing the union has done for NJA is made your lives miserable. The union has done nothing for NJA pilots, NOTHING! Let's look at the facts; NJA is the largest, only one with a union, and they are the least paid by a considerable margin!!! The NJI pilots will never let a merger take place, and rightfully so. NJA is such a mess, the pay is junk, there is no orginization within its ranks, and there are too many internal issues that the NJA pilots have to deal with to make a merger worthwhile. Why would the NJI guys go and mess up a good thing? I am sure they laugh at the NJA pilots frequently. Had NJA not gone union, they would be in a much better position than they are today. I say that because there is no place to go from where they are now except for up. NJI pilots are well paid (in comparison to their counter-parts), happy for the most part, and they do not have some half wit union working on their behalf. Can the same be said for NJA pilots? The BBJ guys took good care of themselves and left the rest of the pilots to essentially fend for themselves. THanks Brother!
