Schedule stability? I said I’d give it more time before I reached any conclusions. Well, it’s been over four months now and the Children of the Corn are worse than they have ever been on the ridiculousness flowing from their computer screens.
I nearly got fired last week because of a conversation with a screen reader. Outright incompetence and stupidity is the norm.
Show up, do your trips, and go to the hotel? Sheer fantasy in my fleet.
My goal every tour is to NEVER CALL a 614 area code. I used to fly entire tours and at least most of the tour without having to call.
I’ve failed on that score EVERY TOUR since IBB. Every DAY of EVERY TOUR since IBB.

The honeymoon will be over at some point and something will need to be done to attract quality pilots in the numbers we need.

30.1 hour tour this week, only one 10 hour rest night, the rest averaged between 12-14 hours of rest, and the mighty XL was fairly reliable to boot, nothing insane, 3-4 legs a day. Early starts but done by sunset.Cheers. YMMV.

So a class of 5 a month for 2 more months is considered hiring to you lol? I think the only thing that’s proven here is that you’ve been at a NetJets for over a decade and still have no clue what’s going on.

You're all welcome to accuse me of being a kool-aid drinking company leg humper, but I'm willing to compare weekly union volunteer hours and picketing attendance.

It may not be a sinking ship, I think the business is stable, but from a CBA/pay perspective, the pilot group basically gave them 8-10 years for very little.
