To quote Live4Flying:
"The Pilots made Netjets successful which lead to its substantial growth."
and don't forget, Toyota owes its success to the local Toyota service technician (since he is the one I see when things go wrong), and GE owes its success to the dishwasher repairman.
Pilots were part of the success ... as a team. Most of the rewards go to those who took the risk and/or those who created, developed and implemented the idea. Not just at NJA, but elsewhere in business too.
Guys (and wives) -- I apologize if today some comments have been getting testy. Not the best day in business. But that aside, pilots don't rule all -- I hate to tell you. Doctors think they are the most important and underpaid people on the planet and the world can't survive without them either. Firemen too. Teachers too. Lawyers too. Computer programmers and tecnhicians --- well maybe; they and the trash collectors in more populated areas probably have the greatest leverage over us mere mortals.
The management guys who negotiate your contracts probably think they are the most important and NJA would be down the tubes without them. If they raised all of your salaries by 300% then they would have fewer owners = fewer planes = fewer pilots. Catering is real important too --- probably the #1 source of negative comments from owners. So therefore, whoever picks the caterers is probably the person to whom NJA owes its success. I mean pilots may take cr@p for a bad meal, but I haven't seen one start to recook my meal and turn the well down roast beef sandwich into a rare one or turn a crappy sandwich into a great one. It is a team effort -- all organizations work as a team and it is only as good as its worst player.
Can anyone admit that it is a team effort?
Fly safe.
