Post-mediation NetJets thoughts

[datafox]

I believe the new finishing date for mediation is July. What do you think will happen at NetJets in August or later?

1) Not released for self-help and status quo continues
2) Strike
3) Tenantive agreement passed by crewmembers

If (3), what would an agreement resemble as far as compensation and other benefits (gateways, etc.)?

I know these are difficult questions to answer and nobody has a crystal ball, but what are your gut feelings?

finishing date is still june 24. mediator has not informed anyone of a delay.

t/a? more $, gateways, better scheduling, etc, etc, etc.

If you read the CrewOps website, the mediator had to go to an emergency mediation with Alaska Airlines. Supposedly, the mediation cutoff is now somewhere in July.

Data-

You actually read that propaganda and believe it? Might want to go re-read it anyway - I think the exact term was that the deadline "most likely" would be extended into July. In other words, that's what NetJets is hoping for. As far as the union is concerned, June 23rd is still the last day of mediated negotiations. It will remain that way until the mediator advises otherwise.

My answer to question # 3 ----

From the family perspective, compensation must be able to justify the time spent away from home, address the issue of lost wages for the past 3.5 years, and reflect the job that is done--anything less and the "silent partners" will vote --NOT JUST NO, BUT HELL NO!

PILOTS ARE PROFESSIONALS AND SHOULD BE PAID AS SUCH!

A RISING TIDE SHOULD LIFT ALL BOATS--NOT JUST THE YACHTS OF THE RICH!

We understand the justification, but what is suitable compensation? How much money are you looking for?

 

[netjetwife]

He does something else, easily making just as much money--probably more! And is home every night. I think I could handle that. He may like the job, but if the wages aren't improved significantly, he won't be staying. I know other NJ pilots/families that say the same thing. The pilots of NJA are fighting to raise the bar for the whole industry--they deserve support!

 

[Jolimon]

What is he going to do work at Home Depot? It is a free country if he doesn't like it he should just leave. I think if they strike they are hurting the industry not helping it. He knew what he signed up for. We all know the schedule.

Nobody cares what you think. The only opinions that matter are those who have a vote and receive a ballot.
