Overview of NetJets TA

[BrnJetFuel]

Overrall, I must say, Good Job! This T/A beat my expectations. Almost makes me wish I didn't leave NJA!

The 5 to 7 year guys made out best (but they do make up 70% of the voting group). Those of us in the 10 year realm, took it in the shorts, but we still got a 30 to 50,000 raise depending on the schdule we chose. Also, getting the incredible scope language and an excellent chance at aquiring many larger airframes (NJI) its an excellent step towards securing our futures and making this place finally somthing to not be ashamed of.

We wish you could have stayed to fight the fight and reap the rewards. You should know, you deserve thanks from all of us as you helped, like many, simply by creating the sucking sound left by those who went on to greener pastures. The paltry wages didn't allow NJA to fill the void those like yourself created when you left. The sell off cost started to go through the roof and no-one was showing up for classes except the extremely desperate.

My sincerest thanks and hope where ever you are it's at least as good or better.

Is Netjets still keeping their gateways? (ie SEA, ect.) Will the company pay to get from a gateway to a domicile?

Gateway terminology is gone. Domiciles and Home Based Airports (HBA). For those employed with NJA prior to ratification (assuming this November 21) they will be able to use SEA and tens of others in the area due to meeting the criteria set forth in the HBA qualifications. We litterally just gained well over a hundred plus airports to call home. The 24 gateway airports aren't gone, just the terminology. No losses, just tremendous gaines in this area.

So airports like SEA are not gone, but if you get hired after the ratification, you would not be able to use these HBAs? If a new hire can use these HBAs then it is a good thing, but commuting will be tough without the use of an HBA.

Odd question:

First off congrats, I hope it passes, glad its overwith.

In the current agreement from 1998, are the hiring mins set in there, or is that the companys discression?

And has that changed in the new agreement?

The mins are set by NJA and there is no mention in the T/A. The numbers are hard and fast, no exceptions.

So for new hires that get hired after the TA is ratified, the company will assign you a domicile, get the company change it after that?

It sounds that this will affect the new hires plus the bottom 30% pilot group. When will the company let you know of the domicile?
Thanks guys

I just left Netjets - 28 days ago and wish you guys the best!!

I have to admit that it stings a little to know that I put up with all the crap for 4-years and don't have anything to show for it (i.e. 40K) but am proud to say I walked the line with my brothers in DAL even after I resigned my position.

Hope things work out for everyone

Dude -

Why didn't you take an LOA?

It might not have been that simple.

Thanks for walking the walk in DAL.

Holiday pay = $150

But at least the get the right day

Just amended via an LOU to 1 extended days pay. For someone here 5 yrs that's about $700 bucks.

Which LOU? I didn't see that. Looks like the company may be learning. I would be will to pay $150 to be home on the holidays

Grizz,

Hindsight is always 20/20; a LOA might have been my best bet but I certainly had no intention of ever coming back and I don't regret my decision.

However, it was that simple! My "Fun-Meter" was pegged out and it was time to go. I went to work and "Flew the Pledge" but working at NJA wasn't fun anymore. When that happens, it's time to go and I did. The 90K+ will help for a while but in 6-12 months there are going to be just as many unhappy people as there are today (OK, maybe a few less). Maybe things will get back to how they use to be but I doubt it - there is still the never-ending bureaucratic BS to put up with everyday.

There are pro's and con's to the move I made but I am much happier where I am now.

The stated minimums are 2500 hrs total, 500 hrs fixed-wing multi and 250 hrs instrument. An ATP and 1st class medical are also required. See this link: http://www.netjets.com/News%20and%20Info/careers_pilots.asp

I did ask about the 2500 hr total time figure during my interview last year and was told it's an insurance requirement.
