This is why I like our little exchanges, and why you're my favorite Griz.... you're always making me laugh.
If you really had a clue as to how things operate at NetJets, you'd realize how silly your argument is. But then again, you don't really care about the facts...you've made up your mind to dislike NetJets and our union no matter what.
JAYsus, haven't you read any of my posts? I don't dislike NJA or your little union, and in fact my dislike for low-pay, PFT, and training contracts in business aviation doesn't automatically extend to the pilots who were either too ignorant or too hard up to refuse them.
What I DO dislike, however, are those who do accept them, and then go on to grow into that smallest yet screechiest of birds we sometimes have to share the sky with...the Self-important Puffy-chested Card-waver... who thinks union membership alone erases their industry-lowering actions, or somehow entitles them to the job of someone else who had either the experience or the stones to make a better deal for employment. You just happen to have a whole flock of them over there.
More power to you pal. I just wonder what you're gonna be doing after we get your principal as a customer.
There you go again with that funny Thug Routine thing you do. But you said "get my principal", as in.."get my principals to sell their airplanes so you can fly them around"? Ok, now I have this sharp pain in my guts from laughing. Tell you what Griz, I'll make this solemn promise to you; the day NetJets gets the juice to topple a couple foreign governments and dictate terms to people who familys' have been calling the shots there for a few centuries, then that's the day I'll begin to worry about you taking my job.
Besides, they want to know who's up in the cockpit flying them, not strangers-wearing-stripes, so that pretty much rules out your revolving door operation. And worse for your prediction, unions are illegal here. For those reasons alone, let alone the others, it looks like you won't be absorbing this flight department anytime soon with me getting the subsequent NJA job offer if you did (He11, if that happened I might just go to work there for awhile so I could really piss you off..you know..just for fun). But don't give up hope, you can always quit NJA, resign your seniority, and apply for work here if you still have dreams of being my gear b1tch.
We fly Gulfstream customers in EJA aircraft all the time. They fly EJA customers in Gulfstreams all the time.
I know how your company works with them. It's no mystery, nor has it ever been. I've known this for....um....lets see (checking my watch)... almost a decade now. And by the way, those aren't "customers", they're owners, a distinction not all that important until you get into tax issues and/or the terms of contract regarding how they wind up on your aircraft and vice versa.
We all fall under the NetJets corporate umbrella. They have a sizable presence in Columbus. This is one company and eventually will be one pilot group.
Just because you keep repeating the same thing over and over ad infinitum doesn't make it so. Falling under the same "corproate umbrella" does NOT mean NJA and NJI are "one company", in either a real or legal sense. Do you know how many "corporate umbrellas" work under this same basic setup? Don't try stamping your feet...that won't change what is a basic Business 101 concept either.
At that time, all the gnashing of teeth and wailing will not change the fact that those guys are going to lose out on the seniority issues. They chose to work at a non-union leg of a union company. So sorry for them.
Well, if we ever all wake up in some sort of hell-world where this fantasies like yours come true, I hope you end up sharing a cockpit with some of those you're now dreaming of screwing over.
The rest of your drivel is just that...not gonna waste my time with it.
I can understand why you'd like to believe the rest of it is drivel, since it deals mostly with the issue of making your own bed in that seedy motel you think is a convent.
