Griz said:A couple of issues that haven't been brought up. First of all, this crew didn't put themselves in the position of going over 14....NetJets did. Our schedulers probably put together a plan that had that crew doing a 13+45 day and then wondered what went wrong when the crew was going to go over 14 and couldn't do the trip.
The second thing that probably happened is that the crew was sent to the hotel by the company. Once the company figured out they weren't going to do the trip, they were told to get into rest. I've been at the end of a really long day and gotten an AFIS message to head directly to the hotel as soon as we land so that we can be ready at legal for another trip. I've never "left" the plane or FBO until directed to do so by mother Columbus.
All in all, no matter how it happened, a situation that I'm sure highlighted to the owners the fact that they are "owners" with a very small "o". Hopefully, completing their trip with NJI kept them happy even after getting ditched. Who knows, maybe they liked the ride so much they'll not renew their NJA contract and opt for a Gulfstream share next time around.
