NJI recruiting

[gutshotdraw]

Starman,

I never said the single carrier issue was dead. In fact, it is one of the hot buttons in negotiations and I'm sure will be a primary topic when talks resume today. I am only pointing out that the more likely avenue to merger, should it happen at all, will be contractual changes and not legal action. My guess is, the negotiating committee will ultimately sacrifice single carrier in exchange for the right pay hike. Whether you and the rest of the membership choose to approve that trade-off in a new TA is an open question.

Meanwhile, I would like you to address the seniority blending issue. Rationally, please. As I wrote before, the main argument for single carrier is that NJA, NJI, EJM, and NJE all work for the Same Company. Doesn't that mean merger based on date-of-hire since all those crews supposedly were hired by the Same Company?

Not sure if anyone cares for an outsiders opinion, but since the advent of 91k isn't it really a moot point about union or non-union at NJI. The biggest reason for them being non-union in the first place was the range of the aircraft involved. What owner was going to want to buy into a plane that could go 14 hours if the pilot could only fly 10. Now since Feb. this has changed and the rules are now the same for all again anyway.

My opinion is that if NJE already operates a fully mixed fleet from the Citations to the Gulfstreams, NJA should do the same given that all of the aircraft are already interchangeable with owners (e.g., GIV owner uses a Falcon 2000 if a GIV is not available or broken). Those barriers don't make sense anymore... They should grandfather the pilots in their current positions - GIV/GV FOs would need to bid NJA if they wanted to be Captains and all NEW Gulfstream FO positions should go to NJA pilots. Everyone would then work under the Netjets banner. Sounds fair to me...

And take a $30,000 paycut?

No thanks, I"ll keep the status quo.

Looks like EJM is advertising directly on their website for Excel pilots...7 and 7 schedule, live anywhere you want. Anyone know what's going on here? Is this another float program?
