Throwing money away?
 

Glass, I NEVER said anything about THROWING money away. I am one of the most frugal people you will ever meet. I have also been involved in business (non-aviation) for over 20 years, having owned and operated a few. That being said, it does take a certain amount of money to provide service at the level NetJets does. You can't provide Champagne service on a beer budget!

Glassspilot does not work for NJ.

495 pilots. So what was the hire date of the most senior furloughed pilot? I have some friends there I might call to try and help.

The list goes back to November of 2006

Hi!

Just heard that things have been picking up just lately at NJA!

Good luck!

No need!

The two most common reasons for business failure ARE:

1) A lack of capital
2) Failure to adjust to changing environments.

they have been picking up but not enough to stop the furloughs. it look like it could be two years for the recall letters to be sent out. imo.

Is there any more talk of future reductions? I thought I heard something about Sokol wanting to reduce the operation to 170 or so airframes :eek:????

Is there any truth to a future fleet reduction, even if my numbers are off?

the final furlough count was 482.

No that was part of an aviation article that was pure conjecture from someone outside the company...... As far as everything we are hearing, it is essentially that the company should maintain current staffing levels through 2010 barring any further reductions in demand.
Hopefully, we can turn things around this year and start bringing those impacted by the furlough back in the not too distant future.
