Ever since you busted him cold, he's tried a couple different superhero outfits to hide his identity. Problem is, he keeps pushing the same agenda, writing in the same snarky style, and making the same spelling and grammar errors. It's comical actually.

How many times do you think he typed out “ponies and balloons” but then decided to erase it because it was too on the nose?

One of the best photos of my life. My (former) NetJets sim partner and I after we passed our checkride on the MD11 at Brown. We still laugh about balloons and ponies every time we see each other.

I got this from a senior Captain at the bar last night who was on the negotiating committee, Union and Company envision a guy working 7/7 schedule making about $95-110K first year with new incentives based on fleet type. With 14 days of vacation = 6 weeks off (3 weeks for each 7 day tour of vacation taken) 12 sick days and 9 PTO days, basically you should work about 142-148 days a year on 7/7 schedule if you took it all. Fly about 270-320 hours a year. Not bad money for working that amount of days, I am already looking at what side business I want to start. Now that could all change with the 135 work and rest rules FAA legislation working its way through congress, NJA is pushing for a 70 year old retirement age for 135 so that could help movement a lot.

Correct. And all of the furloughed airline guys will be begging for NJA like they did in the stagnant lost decade following 9/11, and the 5 or so years between 07-12 before the "pilot shortage " era began.

Does anyone not remember the NJA butt-kissing threads on APC back when NJA got their new contract? EVERYBODY wanted to work there. The threads were all NJA all the time. Do a search.

It's all economic perspective. The 121 airlines are the hot girl and she's back again. NJA is once again the ugly 250# girl left alone at the bar, but she'll be hot again soon.

911 was an airline specific terrorist attack that didn't negatively effect NJA. NJA was not immune to the general great recession of 2008. They furloughed 495 and WB axed the founder of the company and replaced him with hatchet men. Time will tell but I don't think NJA will have an advantage in the next downturn.

I should have been more clear. That was exactly my point! The airline guys on here bad mouthing NJA as inferior to the airlines as a career or whatever probably didn't live through the days I outlined in my post.

The difference being that most of the airlines have massive forced attrition on their doorstep recession or not because of age 65.

I’m sure another major downturn will affect us all, but this time the majors will be losing #’s from both the top and bottom of the list. Which means now is the time to jump and bury in deep or hold the course at a fractional.

There are no sure things, but the dynamics have changed a bit since 2008.
