Situation at Citation Air?

[CALRepublic]

Somehow you guys managed to turn this thread into another union thing.

 

[Sparse]

Another chief pilot leaves for Phizer. In the past 8 months CA has lost the DFO, Sovereign/X chief pilot, and the now the chief pilot. The top three individuals in flight ops have left.

All to Phizer. Gee, you think the good old boys are looking out for themselves...

 

[T-1GUY]

Your either on the inside, or you are on the outside...

 

[clueless]

Does JDW still work there?

Does JDW still work there?

No, he left to go work for Phizer a few months ago. He's been bringing his fellow kool aid/management/puppet pilots on board there ever since. These "captains" were the first to bail this sinking ship.

How ironic. He used to be among the worst at the "You're either with us or agin' us" treatment of pilots. If a pilot leaving for a different job tried to be professional and give 2 weeks notice, he was fired instantly, removed from his tour, and treated like a traitor.

I guess that's what happens when you try to leave "the best job in flying."

Also, pretty sure it's Pfizer.

Rumor now is that they are going to do away with seniority to be better able to keep the fleets staffed as people leave by droves.

Yeah, I knew something didn't look right about that. Oh well, Pfizer just made the top of my "never want to work there" list, courtesy of JDW...

 

[CorpCaptain]

Pfizer has been on the "never want to work there" list well before these CA guys showed up.

Oh good - they'll fit right in

 

[johnsonrod]

They probably went to Pfizer for the heavily discounted Viagra....

And that the pilots got gready, bought into the union is everything mentality and drove a stake into the already bad relationship between the pilots and the company!!!!!! We showed them !!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL

You got that right! We had a GREAT company and all the lying and crap by the pro union crowd finally got them their union.....lol. That worked out great huh? These idiots should be the first to go. I and others said on this very board last year that it would be the end of the company if this fricken union came on board, you can find the threads here. It has come to pass.

Stayed in the best hotels, flew the newest planes, great customers, if you did your job like you were being paid to do you had NO problems with management. If you didn't, management did their job.

So would you mind explaining how NetJets employs well over 2,000 pilots?

You mean why they are down to that many from their 5300 in their hey day? Sure, the fricken unions suck!

 

[RCR5]

No, everything does not revolve around NetJets, however if that company can succeed with a unionized pilot work force, then how can one blame the formation of a union (without even a first contract) on the demise of another? The answer is simple, you're simply full of poo.

Are you really this uninformed or are you just playing dummy? Uncle Warren was covering the losses and ONLY when they started cutting those costs (brought on BY the union) did they start becoming profitable (so they say....lol). CA didn't have a backing power with the money NetJets owner has. It really is that simple. Do you get it now?
