Yes, we are pretty much in agreement.

I think what some are concerned about is that Netjet's may have pressured Bombardier to get out of the Fractional business in exchange for the order. XOJET never did anything of the kind. However, I'm sure they would have if they had that kind of clout. Business is business, but it sucks for those who lose their jobs over it.

I'm not going to write anymore, as you saw I was just accused of "celebrating"..

But yeah it sucks when people loose their jobs over it,(ask me how I know).

As for "Netjets pressuring Bombardier to get out of the fractional business" that's a can of worms that i'm not going to open

I'm guessing this is in reference to my post. I'm not accussing you of anything, as it's entirely possible the celebratory tone was over on the other website and what's been said is crossing over between the two...

But the point made stands.
 
The ship is slowly sinking still

Latest reports that the water has now reached the wheelhouse where 50% of all employees are being let go.

To the lifeboats!

Meanwhile the Captain has been seen at the bar with a mysterious hot elderly (sort of) hot blonde. He tells those that remain, do not worry this ship cannot sink!

Lies all lies!:bawling:
 
50 people, not 50%. Still not good.
Don't know how many office people there are so I don't know what percentage this works out to be.

Any predictions on what the final fleet mix will look like after the shake-out?

Good luck to all involved! JetSuite is hiring onto their CJ3s....
 
i think it works out to 33% and why is this a surprise? with the fractional side gone, im sure there are several people there whose jobs became obsolete..
 
Well we have laid off 69 pilots and untold numbers leaving voluntarily, it only stands to reason that they finally get to office personnel.

They are trying to squeeze as much cash out of all divisions of Textron as they can; That means CA as well. Since most of the office is terminally incompetent and seems unable to reform itself from the inside, maybe a shakeup will help.

They also announced that enough people accepted their voluntary resignation package so there will be no forced layoffs.

BTW Sparse, since that "change it back" thing didn't quite work out, can we expect a new and improved avatar anytime soon? ;)

Very funny. Why is it that liberals like to rub things in your face. If Romney had prevailed you wouldn't have seen any comments like yours. I guess we will see in a few years what this election will really mean. Remember, rich people provide the jobs. If your flying a private jet it's because some rich dude spent the money to buy that jet or portion of a jet. I am living my future, I am 62 years old. I have enough money to last me the rest of my life. I told my kids, this is about your future. My kids will never have it as good as I have. I just want everyone to have the opportunity my generation had. I don't think it's possible with an ever more intrusive government. Good luck to you and your victory.
 
I'm a Boy Scout, cause it still shocks me that people can not see what has already happened and can't see what is about to happen.....I'm with the above 2 I'm set financially I'm not in the huge tax brackets any more and I will be fine.....my kids are screwed....and so are the one who voted for bumbles the most......wow

Come on, lighten up. You know some on the right would have had quite a laugh had Mitt won.

Don't worry about the next generation, we will be fine. I figure after four more years of Obama and eight years of Hilary, the Socialist workers state should be firmly entrenched and we will all we well taken care of. :)

Has this ever been the case? Has this ever worked? Do you really want someone else in charge of you?
