"You divide that by the number of days you guys work, that’s like getting paid to eat,” Santulli writes.

Santulli Hints at Concessions
COLUMBUS—In a tersely worded letter, Netjets CEO Richard Santulli has told his pilots that the upcoming several years will require heavy concessions on their part if the company is to survive moving forward.
“Look, you guys do a great job—at sitting around FBO’s,” the letter states. “We feed you well, we clothe you well—all we’re asking for is a little payback.”
According to Santulli, most Netjets pilots average less that 200 hours of flight time annually. “You divide that by the number of days you guys work, that’s like getting paid to eat,” Santulli writes.
Santulli goes on to state that the company may have to look at ways to increase pilot productivity, such as asking pilots to do double-duty as aircraft detailers, mechanics or caterers.
Business aviation consultant Geoffrey Winger called Santulli’s ideas “nothing short of revolutionary.”
“[Santulli] is on to something big here,” Winger said. “Really big.”
Though a joke, there are so many posts by NJ guys on here that indicate how little they fly or do that this will actually become a self-fulfilling prophecy for them soon enough.
Don't shoot the messenger...your own guys on here are to blame. It all comes home to roost eventually...
Cycles, remember....
