Slick Citationshares Corporate Video

[johnsonrod]

Check out the Citationshares corporte video I found on their website:

http://www.citationshares.com/about/video.aspx

It's actually pretty well done - looks like they spent some money producing it. I believe it is aimed at both potential owners/customers and potential employees. And, of course, Citationshares pilots are the "best" in the industry.

Very interesting (but not surprising) that the lack of employee unions is highlighted - the meritocracy environment is seen as a big asset. The problem, in my opinion, is that a so-called meritocracy can often be influenced by subjective opinions in some cases (if you have one bad day or you upset a big wig who misunderstands something you say, your career could be on the line)... On the other side of the coin, it is true that most non-aviation jobs are subject to meritocracies and people need to do their jobs well to be promoted...

Again, the video is well done. Interested to hear what people have to say about it. Is it accurate or not? Do CS pilots really enjoy working there?

Gee I am surprised that you don't have a known facts about CS too. You sure had NJA and XOJET figured out. Do you even work for a FRAC or some regional the way your profile reads

Wow, you really get emotional, don't you. Last time I checked this is an information forum - right? Why should you care what I know and what I don't know? I am a regional pilot looking to leave and I am doing my homework... What does that involve? It takes research, networking and asking a lot of questions. I know people at the various outfits and I feel like I can form partial opinions based on many discussions.

Thanks for adding to this thread. You clearly are insecure about something because you would rather slam someone who is trying to provide some information to other people possibly interested in these companies vs. providing your own opinion about the subject at hand. I am curious to know more about Citationshares and I found their corporate video to be interesting - is that such a bad thing?????

Do you feel better now? Thanks for wasting our time. If you don't like what I have to say you can just avoid my threads or this website altogether. You have a choice.

Lay off idiot. Gee, you have contributed a lot with your four posts on this website. Sounds like Johnsonrod has some good questions he would like to get answered and you are not helping.

As for the corporate video (back to the original topic), yeah, it was a standard corporate video with the sales "spin" you would expect. Not bad. Best pilots in the business? I thought CS was having problems filling their newhire training classes?

Another issue with CS is the lack of any transcon-capable aircraft (beyond the Sovereign which I doubt makes too many European trips). Because of its relationship with Cessna it can't offer other brands of more capable aircraft and it therefore limits what owners can do for certain trips. Cessna's product line alone is restrictive while Netjets, Flexjet and Flight Options offer the full range of capabilities with their fleets.

What does a CS owner have to do if trips to Hawaii or Europe are desired and a Sovereign won't work? Does CS have a relationship with a 135 operator that can provide bigger aircraft?

True, but it does allow its marketing group a place to showcase ONLY Cessna aircraft. I think that is a large part of the CS mission. Start them with a share, and move them to a whole.

Wow!!!! Very nice video. Well done!!!

I will say that I believe CS pilots are some of the sharpest dress pilots I have seen.

I wish many of our guys here at NJA would wear their uniforms in such detail.
