When I returned from my 747 fever dream to the harsh reality of NetJets 2015 after the furlough both the union and the pilot group were militant, and rightfully so , this job has improved exponentially since then and that’s thanks to the current leadership , and the current E board , we are recalibrating both tactically , and strategically as a union right now to confront the present realities, and to accurately respond to the hopes , dreams, and desires of the pilot group, I trust Pedro going forward , the bomb throwers aren’t gaining any traction , but they are getting attention,cheers 😎

Man I remember the feeling there in 2015. It was crazy. Handsell was such a POS and the toxic environment he helped create in the post furlough era of NJA was palpable. I personally didn't think the CBA of 2015 delivered nearly what was promised, but 75% of our peers at the time did, so at least the majority of pilots were in favor. I like Pedro, and although I didn't agree with the CBA, I thought his cool, calm, collect demeanor was exactly what was needed to combat management at the time.
Every company in the industry right now is scrambling to come up with short and long term solutions to the pilot shortage, and the reality that lower time, no experience, wet ticket ATPs are going to be getting hired into shiny jets across the country and the world. It wouldn't shock me if NJA lowered hiring mins to R-ATP or even 750 hours. In fact, they should. All the majors are lowering mins to 1,500 hours. Never thought I'd see that.
