I know I may get a lot of junk for saying this, but after reading the comments on this board for the past few weeks I need to say something...
Much of the disappointment, dissatisfaction, anger, attitude, protests, etc. I am reading about should be directed toward the union, not NetJets. The union did not adequately set expectations or inform its members. NetJets offered a fair (not great or good, but fair) deal under the eyes of the federal mediation board. If you aren’t happy, talk to your union. It appears that they let you/us down. Did you voice your thoughts and fears before the TA was created? Unfortunately, it appears to be too late to change the TA unless the pilots are willing wait another few years for the next (and possibly worse) version of a TA to vote on.
I realize that the situation could be a lot better for the pilots and their families. If the TA came about 3 years ago when the economy and fractional business was soaring, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
Doing anything that would hurt NetJets business would make the chance of profitability and raises even worse. The union was selected to be our/your eyes and ears. If you are unhappy, talk to the union. Harming your/my employer or their business can not possibly create a positive outcome.
If you think I am right or wrong, you are welcome to respond.
