The reason NetJets is now profitable is that finally the NJA pilots are behaving like professional pilots instead of like professional union thugs. I am very happy about this, but for the union pilots to congratulate themselves for not misbehaving is disengenuous to say the least. In my opinion.
Your opinion is insulting and incorrect. You should be ashamed of your post.
NJA management actions were IRRESPONSIBLE and RECKLESS during good faith bargaining with the Union. Their MISMANAGEMENT caused the near collapse at NJA. Their management skills (or lack thereof) gave them confidence to expose the company, and its ablility to make profits, by engaging in lengthy (2001 to 2005) and adversarial negotiations. Management's responsibility is to way all options, pros & cons, and cost-benefits to their plan of action.
Their plan: act unprofessionally by dragging out negotiations with the pilots and hope that the delays would weaken their resolve. The result: they GAMBLED and LOST!!!
Put the blame where it lies: management. The Pilots acted like PROFESSIONALS. Its just BUSINESS. And that's something RTS can relate to and, in my opinion, what lead to RTS's respect for the IBT 1108 PILOTS. And yes, we EARNED it!!!
