NetJets

Wasn't netjets a "bottom feeder" at one time?

I love how these guys/gals get picked up by netjets and all of a sudden they start preaching about industry standards. There's alot of guys that worked for Netjets when it was a crap hole, I wonder what they think of all the new ego's on the property. Do us all a favor and go back to you fractional boards so you all can coordinate what bathroom stall you all will be foot tapping in.

Flying for NetJets was the pits, until the last union contract.
Fly safe guys!
 
Requesting info

I'm looking at working for TMC and I'd like some info from people that actually work there.

1. How much notice do you get before a flight?
2. How do you do your performance and fuel planning?
3. Does the company pay for hotels and travel or do you have to cary the cost and get reimbursed?
4. Who makes your travel and hotel arraingements?
5. Are you flying every day or do you have occaisional layovers?
6. Is there a company crew duty and rest requirement other than the FAR reqs.
7. How do you pack for 15 days in a beechjet?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer

CMI, You need some serious counseling. Why is most of your post on this board either negative or derogatory? You must really hate your life and want others to join you in your misery. Just what makes you the expert on what our company is or isnt?

Having been with TMC now for a year and a half, I can tell you that my QOL is great. There was no bottomfeeding here. I chose to leave my last company making over "industry standard" pay and flying nice equipment, so that I could live anywhere I want and have a schedule I can depend on. I have worked most of my aviation career as a part 91 flyer working for corporations or people who just have way too much money to know what to do with. But not having a schedule and being on call 24/7 sucks. Yes I am on the 8-6 schedule and would hate having to go to the 15-13. But its funny how the ones that are on the 15-13 schedule are not complaining about the 15 days on, some are complaining about all the time off not knowing what to do. How ironic, we all want more time off but then get board when we have so much time off slammed together.

Dear, Flying Biker

I see that I have upset you, and I apologize for nothing. Re-read the post from 100-1/2 that was before my post. I only tried to quoted 100-1/2, but their was human error on my part. My comments are in BOLD LETTERS IN MY POST. Please read all post prior so you do not confuse me with someone else. Why would you say such nasty things about someone that is in agreement with your views? I hope this clears up any confusion, so that their will be harmony and understanding on the TMC comment section of this forum.

Sincerely, CMI

CMI I do owe you an apology. I am sorry for directing that comment to you. I now redirect that comment to 100-1/2 as I somehow missed his comment above yours. I still stand behind my comments. Again Sorry CMI.

EMS Pilot

Hey emspilot,

You have done such a great job properly informing everyone about how you feel companies should run.

I feel we should all hold a blanket party for you!

I love to have blanket parties for spineless people like you because they really deserve it! Keep up the good work!

You are a joke...........In fact the people that run this site are as well allowing you to spout your useless comments about companies you have no knowledge about. You may think you do, but you are in the fog brother. Now it's your turn to run your mouth about things you have no idea about.

Will I listen to your comments? No not really I will be barfing in the toilet.........Do us all a favor and leave the site forever. People come to this site to get realistic information, not some imaginary illusion that you have come up with. Go and never come back.
 
Looking for a TMC Guy...

Nametags-wings

Okay pilots, this is getting exhausting, but we have put out two (2) separate emails notifying you SPECIAL information about your nametags and wings, and some of you just DONT GET IT. So, instead of sending out a third (3rd) email, I'm posting this SPECIAL INFORMATION on this website. A forth (4th) attempt at notification of this message will lead to paperwork involving you being in big, big trouble, as soon as we find those forms. By the way, you need to know morse code, and we will not be translating this for you. Thank you.

Some new guy.

Is B. Miller the CP here at TM? When he left he told everyone he was going to be the CP, but nobody seems to be able to confirm that. If you don't know him he is short, bald head, pig's nose, and reminds you of Newman from Seinfeld. Tell 'em the boys over at ASA asked about him. He'll know what it means. Let me know what he says.

I don't even see a B Miller on our new phone list. He is definitely not our CP. He is yanking your chain.
 
Demonspeed, nice job on the signature!:laugh:

Saw a ad for typed captains on Climbto350.com but no mention of FOs.

I imagine thats because typed captains are more hard to find. I believe they are still hiring FOs. I know there is at least one in the next indoc.

I DARE someone to ask how I feel about that crew meal email.
Click to expand...

Ok, I'll bite.

Personally, I have probably had only 3 occasions where I would have like to have had a crew meal to take on the plane and yesterday was one of them. But I probably would not ever use it.

If we had a little more information about them, it would have been nice. I did hear tell where a crew about 3 weeks ago asked for a crew meal and it was deducted from their per diem without their knowledge, which was crappy.
 
Well, most of these favors coming from EKM are turning out to be favors that help MGMT and pretty much hose the pilots.
That crew meal email was nothing more than writing saying that TMC will never buy crew meals, yet implied to make us feel obligated to expedite the process of ensuring the crew is fit for flight on our dime, but still be on their time. Hey, that rhymed.
Anyway, I don't know what the standard of living is in EKM, but it's apparently much better than mine. I don't eat $13 breakfasts, $15 lunches and $25 dinners. If it's such a reasonable cost, TMC can include that in the contract... like if the FBO is not a preferred FBO, $400 fee (yeah, I've read the contracts). If the crew flies through a certain time, $50 fee which would be applied to "reasonable" crew meals, which is PEANUTS compared to what TMC makes on these contracts.
I'm just saying, I'm not going to spend 2 times the price of a normal breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I'm not the one promising the world to the brokers and the customers, but I somehow am the one making all the magic happen.
I'm glad to be working for such greedy management though. It tells me they are able to make contracts that will keep giving me a job.
I never asked for a crew meal from TMC. For the most part it's easy to budget time, but for days that Flying Biker had yesterday, I'm NEVER paying a $13, $15, $25 meal. I'm going to shut it down, go to the restaurant I like. I'm not going to be a dick and drag my feet, but I'm not working miracles for TMC if they aren't going to pay for a "reasonable" priced meal.
Oh, PS, someone tell mgmt that incentive pay is less than a normal day at work. Thanks.

I still don't understand. You have a company trying to sell itself as a premier charter operator, yet they are still treating the pilots like it's Wal-Mart.

They could sell it like this: "We employ some of the best flight crews in the industry, but attracting and retaining pilots of this caliber is expensive. Surcharges may apply." High net worth people want to know they are flying safe, and they will not accept knowing that the pilot may not have his full concentration on the job because he didn't eat.

Honestly, the pilots are the ONLY contact the company has with those who pay the bills. The pilots should be the companies most important customers, and take care of them the way they would a big paying customer. Then the pilots can concentrate on giving 110% to the passenger who pays the bills. Worrying about eating on a long day is just Mickey Mouse.

Or maybe they could just up that supidly low per-diem.

I get all my email on my phone and didn't see the attachment with the costs. When I finally got to the hotel and reread the thing, I saw the prices and about fell over. I could not believe that they expect us to pay such high prices for mediocre meals. Just for dinner alone would take up one days perdiem. And they present it to us like it is a good thing and to thank XX for setting this up. I'm sorry, setting what up? A way to get us to spend our money for the companies benefit? Needless to say, I was disappointing with this one. But like I said, I have had maybe 3 times where I would have like to have had something so I don't think that this groundbreaking occurrence is going to change anything.
