couple o Q's

Got an NJI interview and want the job

Whats this about pilot integration with NJA? Is there something happening before the three years?

Who of the management crew left?

What is the general feeling amongst those who work there about their situation? Are attitudes going South?

Actually, we (NJA) had two "departures" announced prior to this one. The heads are rolling.

Hadn't heard, but not surprising. Warren will not sit back and take declining profit on increasing revenue. He mentioned a high volume of sell-off's being one of the factors so I would guess all the hiring is to crew additional aircraft to help bring that problem to a halt. I wouldn't be surprised to see him slow down projected growth beyond that until things settle down and they prove they can increase profit with a pace consistant of increasing revenue. Makes me wonder if scrapping the G150 wasn't part of that idea. A charge off to pay for the new TA was also mentioned in the article. It will take them some time to get their arms around the actual operational cost of putting the new TA in the cost structure.

Just thinking outloud...

Oh boy here we go................Where is my popcorn?

Please use the search and read all about NJA/NJI. We are just one big happy family :)
 
I think the problem lies in the sales department. You've got people working on commission wanting to make every sale possible. So we get a new owner, but we are still understaffed pilot-wise, so the new owner just flies on someone we fork out money to charter. Until the crewing problem is fixed, owners will continue to be sold off. And selling off owners is not profitable.
But I'm not so sure NJA will get to that point. I personally think the pilot salaries are more than we can handle. And it's a double edge sword because we still need more pilots.

The worker bees are talking...some are looking for new jobs. It's not just upper management that are leaving.

I guess the handwriting is clearly on the wall down in Savannah. The first of the management folks bailed today. Many more to follow over the next couple of years. Welcome to 1108 boys and girls.

Seriously you need to grow up, you sound like a 12 year old girl spreading rumors.

It's black April around NetJets. Time to justify your job before the Bob's or your job may be eliminated. Santulli is cutting the fat faster than a super-charged Ronco Rotissere maker.

P.S. Protect your Red Stapler.
 
We're going to need you to move down to basement subsection B

Gunfyter,

If I had been your manager and called you into the office based upon "coincidence", you'd be on these message boards screaming murder. Remember about due process? Not jumping to conclusions? Being treated fairly and not making false accusations?

Wasn't this the reason we held on to the hopes and protections offered by unions so that this wouldn't be happening to US ?

Who knows maybe the poor guy has a sick wife or kid at home...I don't know.

This whole thread is pre-contract rant that should have dried up last October.
I am just calling BS on the financial state of NJ references. Of course its because pilot salaries are too high. I wonder why non union NJI got a raise then... I guess their pay was too low.
