Pretty sad...thanks DS

[CRJFlyer]

No, your ok Waco.. reverting to insults is usually a bit more fun anyways. Although your insult was a bit on the weak side it was still a good try. You lost me a bit at the end but oh well.

I agree this is a lame end to a rather useless yet entertaining thread.

Intra Webs 101:

The Internet is not made up of a series of tubes as a now dead Senator famously proclaimed. It is made up of servers that are connected. Users can connect to the network of servers through ISPs.

Now follow along here...

When I post information on a web site that is hosted on a server that is connected to the Internet...well by golly, that information is now linked in and is searchable. Indeed, links are what make the Internet work. I link to others work and they link to others and they link to still others. It grows and grows and becomes like a WEB. If people didn't post and repost other peoples thoughts and ideas and links to stories and sites then jinky jonkers there would be no Internet.

Leave CRJ alone for reposting from some blog. It's the backbone of what makes the Internet work. Just cause his linked article was news to you doesn't mean it's new.

No worries. The web will be here long after he's gone.

wacoflyr;2037936 Wow. We had this kind of troll attacking us not too long ago. That sucks. I wish the Netjet guys the best, and freedom from this drivel. It's sad when disgruntled former employees can't move on with their lives. I suppose he is to be pitied.

Does bring back some memories..............

I'll tell you what I did.

Before 2005 CBA ... I was stressed out and posted things i shouldn't have on this board. That was before I read that Wired article I linked to about employers filing lawsuits to find out who was posting on message boards.

I asked the forum moderator to delete my posts and referenced that article. I guess i had 500 or 600 posts deleted. The moderator deleted my posts as requested. I guess board moderators like lawsuits as much as I do....

I don't care who you are or who they are, please do not use personal info in your posts. Refer to your terms of agreement.

OWW~

Hey PW, even the Columbus Dispatch is referencing the e-mail.... Give their editor a call and tell 'em they better stop.

Only guy getting sued is the former VP who illegally broke into company files and sent out disparaging remarks from NJA computers.

I've asked onewithwings to cancel my membership here so I can resist the temptation of spending any more time here.

Adios

The reporter doesn't work for us. I'm still amazed you'd rather keep this going. Even your fellow furloughed co-workers are emailing me telling me what an *********************************** you are for doing things like this.

I got bets you're not really leaving. If you are, it's because you think it will erase any evidence the company may use in the future to nail your ass. Too late goober. It's all been saved already.

 

[G200_PILOT]

Funny, I just looked and it shows you still logged on reading this thread. If you really DID ask them to cancel your account, then why are you still on reading? What do you care what's written from here on out?

Like I said, it's the SaMe old ******************** we've come to expect from you.

 

[gunfyter]

Not if he asks the mods to delete his posts....

 

[G200_PILOT]

Oh, and let's not kid ourselves here folks. If he DOES cancel his account, it won't be more than ten minutes before a new name happens to pop up as our newest member to FI.com

 

[G200_PILOT]

Not if he asks the mods to delete his posts....

Too late.

OK, so I just his email, and assuming it is authentic I really don't see what the big hub-bub is all about.

Think of it as a stage coach:

• Mr. Sokol has the reins in his hands, and Mr. Buffet has given him the road to travel and the time to be there. He can choose to run hard during the day and sleep at night, or push it all day and night and hope he gets there faster. Every choice he makes has to be carefully evaluated. He doesn't have the luxury of getting it wrong too many times. He has one or two people up there to look out for bad guys and maybe keep him company.
• We (the employees) are the horses. We can only do what we can physically do. If he pushes us too hard, we'll breakdown. If he doesn't feed us and give us rest, we'll break down. If he never comes and brushes us and gives us a carrot, we'll hate his guts and eventually break down.
• The owners are in the coach. They dont like bumps, hot weather, and they don't want to smell the horses "horsesh*t". They want their coach to be the nicest coach on the trail. And they don't want to pay full fair for their ticket. And they want some type of upgrade or amenity in the coach. (And the lead passengers wife wants a sparkling water with a lime twist... :laugh

Look folks, the company has changed from what it was 3 or 4 years ago, just as it has from what it was in 1995. That's the reality of life, regardless if it is business, or family... life changes. While we can all have our opinions on the state of the company, the moral, the new streamlining, in the end we cannot drive the coach unless the reins are in our hands.

I honestly don't see what the big deal is over this email. I kinda respect the man for saying whats on his mind.

Well you can "think" of it as a stage coach,

and wonder how many jobs are out there for stage coach drivers...

Netjets is part of the service industry. A niche, high value, service provider.

Not a regulated utility, not an upstart electric car producer in low cost China with vast growth potential and limited realistic competition, not a capital goods provider, nor a commodity.

Service hints at relationships (<--DS doesn't like), and providing what the consumer wants & values...

Not any color as long as it's black... :smash:

 

[BoilerUP]

While I understand the dislike of airing one's dirty laundry publicly....the content of this thread is an embarrassment for all NJA pilots - and it doesn't have much to do with the original poster.

 

[gret]

An observation put to words perfectly.

[transpac]

The reactions to the original post are incredible. Never a peep about the wisdom of DS sending the letter, knowing (and intending) that it would become public. Sure enough, it appeared in the public domain right on schedule. Now enter a furloughed pilot who committed the horrible crime of clipping the letter from one website and pasting it to another. (Judging from the comments, most commenters mistakenly think CRJflyer wrote the post.) The cries for a public lynching of CRJflyer from people who should know better are truly amazing. Meanwhile, DS is likely having a good week: His message to ex-executives is out, and the union is properly warned to mind its manners. And, in a little extra benefit he probably didn't expect, his letter has led to insults and threats of firing within the collective bargaining group. It's humerous but sad to observe pilots attacking one of their own in a misguided effort to protect a CEO from his own words.

 

[gunfyter]

I don't think DS is gunning for any furloughed pilots ... The wisdom may be this. Maybe DS knew the letter would be forwarded to Alice. Maybe DS will file a lawsuit to discover who illegally forwarded the message... ala the Wired article I posted earlier. I am sure we will be reading about it soon if thats the case.

Somebody took the bait ....
