Jack, many NJA families sacrificed a lot to make it a place you wanted to work. Actually no they didn't. They majority of the VMs were done by pilots under the gun. MANY pilots who were in the retirement age and COULD retire with military or other pensions did not take the very profitable early outs for the simple reason of "I could retire, but I want to go out and fly a jet few times a month" I had many pilots tell me this in person. They collectively gave again to try to keep you employed. The economy is the enemy--NOT your fellow pilots or NJASAP leaders. Yes the economy is along with the current NJASAP leaders. The current NJA leaders are the ones that at the last minute locked us off the Eboard and did not push the issues of the seniority resignation process. NJASAP also allowed EJM to grow and take up 90% of the sell offs during the peak travel days with out hiring any furloughs (rumored 3 were hired). Now DS wants some relief on the sell off clause in the contract and who do you think will take up the increased selloffs?
You need to seriously think about the realities of the over 800 NJA employees that have lost jobs in the last 6 months. You don't understand what the F*&K you are talking about. Unless you were out on the line in the months leading to the Furlough or have been out on the street looking for work then you seriously need to shut your talk hole!
Haz, to answer your question: 1) NJASAP is obligated to safeguard confidential NJ information that gets posted in the Crew Room. There would be no deterrent (like losing active employment) to prevent furloughed pilots from revealing that info to an unauthorized source, especially for those with a new employer who weren't intending to return to NJ. Other areas of the message board remain open to furloughed pilots and they have been given their own section of the board. 2) See the unwarranted insults and groundless accusations above. Some NJ pilots are concerned that they will be subjected to this type of behavior from bitter furloughees taking their stress and/or anger out on the very pilots who made NJA the flying career that attracted them in the first place. I did not want to believe that would happen, but this thread has been an eye-opener. If it can happen to such a staunch supporter of the NJ FOs, like myself, then it would very likely happen in the NJASAP Crew Room.
