the future of NJA ???

When we start getting kicked out of hotels because the bill isnt paid or nobody will sell us fuel or no vendors will sell us parts, then we know things are bad. Almost forgot, when the check bounces, then we know our fate is pending. Until then, it's all good.

Yes Sir! That is what I am saying. Untill the landscapeing goes to he!l and the gift shop closes in CMH I am not worried.

As far as Warren. Did anyone see him today on CNBC answering questions with the NetJets both right behind him?!? You can not buy advertising that good.

So the company shows signs of actually getting serious about controlling costs....

I hope you weren't refering to the CMH folks yearly wage increases. Even crews got those over the years during the negotiations. These are the folks who tried to recover flights and get the schedule back together while some crews were, shall we say, hanging out at the FBOs.

If we're going to count Flight Safety, why not count Dairy Queen? They're doing pretty good.

Because flightsafety is under NetJets Services and DQ is part of BH..

Plus Chili Dogs are not part of the 7 choices for crew food..

HUH? You'd better go back and check your facts again.

Flight Safety is NOT under NetJets Services. It is a separate company under the Berkshire umbrella, just like DQ, Geico, Shaw Carpets, Pampered Chef, and others....

Oh great. You're back.

This is always said when companies are in trouble.

Really??? I have had people with inside knowledge explain it to me in great detail, and it is a cash cow. Now you believe what you want to believe, that is your right. The actual numbers are mind bending. As G-V guy stated it was a 80million dollar loss, which is the number I was told, not whatvever the other number was.

Now for the guys in CMH not getting raises, I'm sorry about that. However when Billy Boustire hires, somewhere around 200 is the number I heard, people for positions that didn't exist before his arrival, then I agree, why give a raise to people that aren't going to be around in a month or so... After the purge, then I bet there will be raises.

Don't make it sound like the sky if falling! The msg said there would be a delay, not an indefinite freeze. The man is sorting through the mess BB made in the casino and Easton. I feel for the people that were counting on the review/raise! I'm waiting for the first post blaming us mean nasty pilots for the delay!

How typical and completely hypocritical! This whole thread is about blaming problems the company is facing on BB and the entire CMH crew. We have more class than that to blame you! My only problem with the crew during contract negotiations was your work ethic. Productivity has increased ten-fold since the contract was signed, coincidence? We, crew service, have always been your biggest supporter for a pay increase and don't blame the loss (nor would we ever) on you!

 

[MorePilotPay]

Thanks Guy.

 

[Diesel]

And the pilots have been the biggest supporters of crew services getting a raise PLUS more POWER. Crew services should have the right to say do this or do that or thats bullshiate but they can't. They have to call or send an email. It's not right because they are seeing the same pic as everyone else.

Nobody is blaming anyone except boisture for the screwup and carnage that he left in his wake.

Exactamundo!!!!!!! As Fonzy would say! When the nice ladies at Signature start turning us away and they repo my Hilton Diamond card, then and only then will I be worried.

Al Ueltschi will be amazed to hear that...

Actually, FSI and Netjets are a part of BK Flight Services which is in turn a part of BK Non Insurance Businesses as is Dairy Queen, Lane, Shaw Industries and so forth.

The Insurance and Reinsurance Businesses are comprised of the following sub-groups: (1) GEICO and its subsidiaries, (2) General Re and its subsidiaries, (3) Berkshire Hathaway Reinsurance Group, and (4) Berkshire Hathaway Primary Group.​

Flight Safety International is no more a part of NetJets than Geico is a part of General RE.​

Speaking of who owns who....Is Berkshire as a whole making good $$$ in this economy? I have $$ in a 401K that needs to go somewhere.

Baja.

New contract is much more efficient than the old.... better for everybody.

This is what it closed at today.

89,899.00 +699.00 +0.78%

Its kind of a crap shoot. Half the analysts say "Strong Buy" the other half say "Hold". It's good on the fundamentals, but it has been trading in the same $8,000 range for the last 18 months and is down from it's high of $92,000 two years ago.
