Part of our "service training". You know, important stuff like:
1) Squeeze he soft candy and make sure it is soft
2) Nevermind the blinding sun, take off the sunglasses if an owner is present (yes it is actually in the CPM)
3) Watch must be metal. No watches like an Ironman or such (yes its in the CPM). Oh, but those white rubber Apple Watches are OK (WTF?).
4) Nevermind its TUS and 114 degrees. Put that coat on when you meet the owners, wait for them in that dark blue sweat garment as they slowly disembark the cars, make phone calls and do their 10 minute goodbyes and subsequently checking their IDs. Because a stinky, sweaty crewmember is so much more professional than a guy with no coat.
More of the BS I'm so glad to be away from.

I never wear my blazer in hot environments and have never received any push back. I wear my sweater, overcoat, hat and gloves when it’s freezing. In fact I’m off to JAC today at -16F. Yes there are guidelines in the CPM, but common sense will not be penalized.

Back to the original question. Go to the Flex threads and look at the DRL thread. Favorites vs the others. No seniority rule, only carrier to decertify a union, zero protections from discipline or salary. Things are good now, but when things go south, guess what will happen to their pay. There was a pay reduction at the start of Covid. Yea, Ricci trued up, thanks to the bailout. He even interviewed in AIN voicing surprise one of his competitors did not touch the government cash. Guess who.
Yea, things are getting contentious at NetJets. They’ve been that way for the legacies too. Delta had a 98% vote in favor of a strike. SWA, AA, etc are all in less than rosy situations. Happens every time contract negotiations are involved. Why? Who knows. Makes no sense to me, but I just fly the dang things. NetJets has zero debt and a huge cash surplus, growth to 1000 jets total in five years, thousands of new owners on a wait list, and rapidly reducing upgrade times.
The only way we can attract enough pilots to overcome attrition and growth is to sweeten the pot. Are all the positives guaranteed? Nope. What carrier ever has been able to? Whodathunk Pan Am and Eastern would close their doors? It’s always been a crap shoot on who to choose. But if you’re going to compare one vs one other, the pros and cons make it easier to choose.
