I'll remind you that FO has no intention of being the biggest Fraction/135 operator. They've communicated that to us and and the rest of the employees.

So they've said. Ad Nauseum. Not that I believe a 1/10th of what comes out of managements mouth, but I'll agree with you they've definitely spewed this mantra - repeatedly.

So who's to say we're going forward in the fractional model? Who's to say that H.I.G. doesn't have a business idea that will ultimately reap a much larger cash-flow and profit than the model NJA currently has. Far fetched, you say? They laughed at Santulli when he first unveiled his fractional model.

All that to say the contract being currently negotiated is going to cover a LOT of ground: past, present and future. The company would be wise to view the employees (including the pilot group) as the "Team Members" they're so fond of calling us. The day managment ceases to pay lip service to this dribble and truly include everyone on the "Team" is the day this company will start to gain huge success - in whatever market niche they choose to compete.

It isn't just about a CBA for the pilots, Skumza. A contract is but one component of running this business going forward. We also need products that can be sold. We need a sales team who can sell this product - not just an old pig with lipstick on it. We need efficient operations in CGF. We currently have people running OCC today who make decisions based on the fear they'll lose their jobs if they don't do exactly what they're told - no matter how outrageous or costly their marching orders.

What this company needs the most is leadership. We have suffered huge losses from a lack of vision and leadership. We are a customer service provider that is being run by people who wouldn't know customer service if it punched them in the nose and who only want to sell seat revenue. This is a top-down problem, with the root of the problem being Sheeringa. It is my sincere hope that this particular problem will be corrected about the time the contract is signed.

You know what I've explained here to be true. The only reason you can't (or choose to not) see it is because of where your head is. I'm guessing if MS or BT took a sharp right turn, it would break your neck.

Well said!
 
I suppose its interesting that the thread starter and other initial detractor have not been back online since the original post......
