Question Regarding NJA sell-off trips

I comprehend just fine. I disagree.

Agree 100%...I was posting while you were typing.

I'm furloughed NJA and I'm with Glass and Gret on this one.

Come fly a QS tail and we have a problem.

Fly anything other than a QS tail and we're cool.

Implying that charter pilots flying NJA trips as crossing the line is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Totally with glass and gret on this one.

especially when the odds of NJ's ever hiring again are slim to none.

Really? EVER? REALLY? Wow you are such a fool.

You have just shown that your blind hatred has blocked any logic you may have.

Now, if you want to put some money where your mouth is about NetJets ever hiring again, let me know. Gonna guess you don't have the balls.

Easy kemosabe...with everything that was written, this is what you picked up on?

I don't think I'm the Lone Ranger with this thought. If it happens...it happens...the odds are just very small at this juncture.

Oh, I agree with you on the sell offs. Other charters picking up flights during a improbable strike, does not a scab make.

Yeah, the other part jumped out. We have more old guys than a retirement home. Hiring is inevitable within 5 years or so.

We have fewer than 300 pilots over 60, less than 100 over 65. In the next 5 years I could see 150-200 guys leave, to get all 300 probably closer to 10 years.

These 300 pilots would cover our overstaffing, however recalls are probably 10+ unless this company comes up with a growth plan instead of a replacement plan.

I would disagree with that. IF there were a strike, it would all be struck work in my book. .

So, when the passenger who can't ride on NJ is forced to buy a ticket on UA or AA, the pilots who fly him are scabs in your estimation? That's just silly.

How about an owner like NJAowner who owns shares at multiple companies. Suppose he calls up NJA and cant get a flight when he wants to go because of a strike. You are saying if he then calls FLEX where he owns a share, the Flex pilots would be considered scabs for flying one of their owners? It sounds like you think your company owns the customer which is ridiculous. It amazes me how so many union members know so little about such things. Glass had it exactly right.

Negative. If an owner is flying on his NJA account during an NJA strike, the crew operating the aircraft would be flying struck work in my opinion. If an owner has multiple accounts at different companies and uses his Flexjet / Shares/ Flops account, that flight would not be struck work as NJA is not receiving any revenue from the flight.

My opinion matters not however. We are not striking. We are not in Section Six negotiations, and there is no threat of a strike. Should that ever come to pass, NJASAP will define struck work for the particular case, just as every other striking pilot group has done.
