The FLOPS axe is falling

[minimums]

The prime objective of any company is to make a profit and provide a return to the investors.

Kinda hard to do when your spending 10+ million on charter in the first 3 months of the year, losing pilots at a exponential rate, parking uncrewed airplanes and ticking off so many owners that they quit.

Minimums: You cracked the code. The company is closing down slowly and it is by design.

Live4flyng; NJA got along just fine before gateways and will get along just after gateways are a fond memory.

Well.....EJA was having a tough time attracting pilots back then, so they expanded the gateway system. You can't compare the fractionals to a freight company, we don't start or end the flights at the same places every night. Same thing goes for an airline, we don't have hubs and routes (scheduled). So it is a benefit for the company to have expanded gateways, makes them more efficient.

And so, the idea for RAC's at NJA. NJA management knows exactly what you are talking about and will eventually get their way. The RAC's discussed in the most recently defeated TA may not be the RAC's that eventually come to be, but NJA will have a series of RAC's and the Gateways will eventually go away.

 

[Live4flyng]

I'll take a RAC instead of a gateway anyday. RCAs are another deal though. Gateways go away, so do pilots. I don't think you really know what you are talking about LongRange.

Live4flyng, How is a RAC system better than a Gateway system?

 

[Live4flyng]

Depends on your definition of a RAC. Or is it a Rack? I really don't know what Long Range was talking about, he keeps referring to a RAC. I would like to know more about this new RAC concept. An RCA is a different deal though. Like I said, I'll take a RAC over a gateway anyday.

Maybe hes thinking of Pamela Anderson interms of a RACK.

J3,

I think it's about time somebody said what we've all been thinking. You, sir, are a moron. Nobody appreciates your notions of scabbery at NJA, your pose of being a person in the know of ANY fractional, or your unimportant and unfunny remarks on life the universe and everything. Whether you fly a 767 or a Dodge Dart, nobody cares. Your comments don't help, they don't inform, and mostly they go ignored but tonight I'm feeling frisky, thus I respond.

FYI, if you read the whole post, you'd know that RCA stands for Regional Collection Airport. Not something out of a 1999 Penthouse magazine. This is a NJA term, obviously you are not a NJA pilot. RAC was a misprint by somebody that made an honest mistake. Might have been typing with his thumbs from his BlackBerry, if this is the case it's obvious you're not a FLOPs pilot either.

What that leaves is the assumption that you really are just a "J3 type rated" pilot sitting in his hangar on the computer. He's got his hands in his underwear, getting away from his nagging wife and in between looking up pictures of 16 year old asians he occasionaly posts on an aviation forum, desperately trying to have some kind of human interaction. Most likely a result of an abusive childhood. Fear not though, J3 there are therapists that make millions just waiting to take on a case such as yours pro bono.

Please do us all a favor and do a Google search for the poser forum and join today. I'll pay your registration costs.

Best wishes.

Hey Guido, if you didn't know Pamela does have a very nice rack!

 

[J3 Guy]

Guido....chill out, it was just a light hearted remark about Pamela Anderson and her 2 talents.
You must be something to fly with, do you go ballistic if ATC does not give you a certain altitude?
I have more aviation experience in my left eyelid, that you have in your entire body.
Its bad enought you frac guys have dragged the pay down for the 91 ops the last 10 years, but you expect the highest wages.
I think we all agree that the person that needs to open an account with a therapist is you.

J3,

You missed the point. My point wasn't about making an off-handed remark about Pam Anderson (yes dime, I agree, it is a quite nice rack). My point was that since last month when you joined us here you've done nothing but stir the pot, and post flame bait. I don't think anybody that works for any fractional apprecitates your comments on scabbing in the even of a NJA strike, or your comments that have nothing to do with the thread topic.

I will not debate flight times and experience with you, I don't know you and you don't know me. What I DO know is what you're NOT. All I am saying is that it's obvious you're not a fractional pilot. So please, we have our own problems and they cannot be solved or helped by you, in fact they can't be solved at all by griping on a message board, but if we feel like letting off some steam then please try not to interfere.

Good Day,

Guido

Its not my fault 2-3000 look at my posts..its their business to look or not. My posts are in regards to fractional flying good or bad. Last time I checked this is a free society.
Netjets on strike and asking if it would be a good time to start was just a question. You have this thread all out of alignment now,makes it very confusing for Netjets and FLOPS management to keep straight.
