No DC base at Net Jets?

Any hopes for one in the near future?

Why give away a bargaining chip for the next round of contract talks?

The Company has it pretty good right now with a whole bunch of guys working here who are willing to drive up to TEB.

3 more years of driving....

Or come to CS.

We have BWI and IAD.

I agree......until NJA changes their policy I'd look elsewhere.

Why give away a bargaining chip for the next round of contract talks?

13.2(c) DOMESTIC DOMICILE OPENINGS AND CLOSINGS

The company may open new Domiciles at it's discretion... The company agrees to provide 90 days written notice of new Domicile openings to the Union and all Cremembersa. This notice may be sent via the company-issued communication devices.

==================================================

The company can add additional Domiciles right now and start using them 90 days from now if they desired to.

You guys really need to start reading into the contract.

My post still stands....why should they give us ANYTHING until the next round of talks????

Yes....I know they can open up as many Domiciles as they want but it would be stupid for them to do so.

At least for now......maybe in a few years, once negotiations starts, they will open a few key domiciles to swing the new hire vote their way.

The company won't GIVE us anything. It's not how collective bargaining works. They never have "given" us anthing either... unless you count watches and clothes that help them advertise the brand. These are trinkets and nothing that qualifies as an item of value that make a career at NetJets more valuable.

Domiciles, in and of themselves, were conjured up as diversionary items that were designed to make pilots want to give up something valuable (W2 $$$) in exchange for something that costs the company NOTHING (More HBAs).

FACT: Domiciles save this company squat.

FACT: Pilots would rather fly from a reasonable HBA than commute to or move to a Domicile.

FACT: The company knows both of the above and plans to capitalize on it.

The company has clear language in the CBA to allow themselves relief if needed. There is no reason for them to waste the stamp on a letter inviting the Union to a negotiating session when no session is needed.

I think we are on the same page.

I won't speculate on what would increase the companies chances of passing a POSTA with this group. It's counter productive for you and me.

 

[DO-82 driver]

Agreed....let's just say one thing....you andI both agree that the Company is only thinking of themselves.

They will attempt to drive any wedge they can drive between the pilots.

I'm curious what the nest contract is going to look like.
