WRONG. The union has been in place at Executive Jet/NetJets for over 30 years....long before Mr. Santulli came into the picture. Ask some of your NJ pilot friends for confirmation if you like. And again, if you arent part of NetJets then how do you know what's happened internally at NetJets?
OK, I might've been wrong on this one. I'll admit when I'm wrong. But.....you can't argue that there had to be a reason it was formed. Now, it is needed.
NetJets doesnt make money on fuel. We charge our owners our actual cost of fuel so any savings on fuel go to the owners - not management, not employees.
I know that. I was asking a question to get an idea of management's intentions. You didn't answer it.
You're not part of NetJets but you know all the details of our problems.... Again, are you in on the negotiations or are you relying on the information people post on bulletin boards?
See my previous post
Okay....Continental airlines. How about this one - what good (or bad) aviation company with bad labor relations is making money right now? How about Fedex and UPS?
Continental isn't making money. They're still losing. Granted, they're losing less than everyone else, but they're still losing. And don't forget the fact that they probably have the BEST labor relations of all the Legacy carriers. FedEx and UPS have bad labor relations? News to me. How many FedEx and UPS pilots are on TV calling their management scumbags. Hell, how many FedEx and UPS pilots bitch about bad life on this forum?
Of course he isnt paying the bills on his salary....he's made his money by wisely investing his money over 40 years in carefully chosen companies....something you too can do if you read The Millionaire Next Door and follow its lessons. Or should I assume from the suggestion in your message that Buffett should subsidize you or me simply because he's smart and disciplined? News flash for you - he already does through higher taxes.
I wish I could, but I dont know what the managers of NJA make, nor do I care. What I care about is making enough money to feed my family and pay my mortgage, which I can currently do.
However, thanks to the power of the internet, I can post how much the leaders of the Teamsters make:

Looks to me like 30+ years of Teamsters representation at NetJets has helped line the pockets of the people on this list, but they havent helped our pilots. Tell me again why I should join a union?
I never said you should, I never said I was pro-union. I'm anti-hypocritical management, and that INCLUDES management of unions. Show me that the pilots at NJA aren't getting screwed, and I'll shut up. But until you do so, it's not gonna happen.
