Worked out great for them.
Do you suggest that the union should have rolled over and let the company willfully disregard the protections that were in the FOQA LOA? I fully support holding them to the agreed LOA that is basically what everyone else had. Now the company simply bought off the FAA to allow a new, non protective FOQA. The new NetJets FOQA program is the camels nose under the tent. I hope the real players out there are able to hold the line at least at deidentifying the data. The new FOQA at NetJets is NOT about safety. It is about marketing. The company already admitted to "Puffery" in their BS safety advertising and this just takes it to the next level. I will be actively flushing all flight memories for this program. I will request a union steward for any and all calls about FOQA data and I have a hard time believing that I will remember anything beyond point A and point B in any flight between now and as long as this BS program remains as is. I would be angry if union leadership caved to letting the company use deidentified FOQA data against us. I have zero issues with the union's position on this one.
