Maybe WB is gonna relocate them to his railroad
Tis a not very nice situ in the US right now, and it's going to get allot more hurtful
Just talk to anybody that was in MCO for the big bast last month, loads of "we're at the end, no more recession", total load of tosh
Hope all the folks find something very, very soon

Wondering what will be going on in NetJets Europe then ? Sounds unlikely to me that they reduce workforce in their "home country" and leave the european part untouched 
Tough times though, and winter approaching which is probably the rather calm season in this business

Don't see your point Capt Prop. If NJA are suffering and NJE are are suffering they will lay off crew if they have to.
JimJoness is right. How could an (ostensibly) american company lay off people at home and not abroad? Only if there were very extenuating circumstances like the european arm performing very well but we know that's not the case.

Not saying that it is a fact but more a personal observation. So when the European target to reduce its workforce was 30% and the US 20%...
And when the Europeans achieve that target and the US did not... Unless they included parts of the company (NJI etc)) which weren't orginally included.
Or maybe, NJE will go down that road too... Spring will tell.

Hmmmmm. So did NJA get away with not meeting their target because there was a little home team favouritism or might the union have had something to do with it? Wasn't the 20% figure agreed with the union before it went ahead?
Home team syndrome then?

Layoff rumor confirmed
500 to be laid off, "most" in US. NetJets plans to lay off nearly 500 pilots | The Columbus Dispatch

Flintstone - Correct. But just because NJA would be showing negative figures, NJE would not start letting people go, unless they too showed negative figures.
So....
No, reducing work force in US has nothing to do with reducing or not in EU. If they need to reduce in US they will, same for Europe.

I believe NJ will have a bright future, however, that may mean some more pain in the short term, but I think our new leader is and will make sound decisions based on what is good for the company and it's future and not the farcical management style adopted previously which has appeared to concentrate on short term bonuses. (almost identical to the banking management style).
I am positive about a new NJ!

how comes you are positive about it south coast ?
I've got no doubt that Mr Sokol is a very wise manager. Maybe one of the best guys you can get. But still, for the time beeing its just a pitty.
What makes you think so positive about their future despite the fact that you work for them and you like the company ?

The thing is, nowdays the only thing that companies have the guts to do is reduce basic workforce instead of starting with managment own expenses.
So he is positive because 500 pilots have been laid off for the time being and so the company is lighter by a quarter of its flyboys and can now recover.
the thing is, do the 500 guys are ok with being the reason for the recovery, but also being left out of it for at least 3 years?
I am in NJE with a voluntary option already since 4 months...if they lay me off now it would be double damnation...laid off and also with half salary for the past 4...just like they did with the yankees? (cancellation of voluntary programs, i wonder, did they get back the full salary that they gave away before getting kicked out?)
Small talk i know, but what is left for us small boys to do?

Thanks for trying to explain why I am positive Damianik, but the reason I am positive is because some serious planning issues have been identified and I believe will be rectified to allow NJ to move ahead profitably and efficeintly into the future.
As many have said for some time now, they didnt believe the company was being run or managed correctly, thats a matter of opinion, but it appears that we now have a leader who is capable and serious about 'sorting' out NJ.
I am positive about the future, but that doesnt mean I dont think there could be futher lay-offs, and for someone who is naturally cynical, I am positive about NJ.

In my jobshare off year I get about 47%...
Full net Salary was incl. average Per Diems €4500,- and now I get €2110,- net. It's crap but still a lot better than being sacked/furloughed in the current market conditions. I don't understand why they can't come with a deal like this in the US. Maybe it's because of the new Management....

i get 50% of my last year's pay at my old airline, job that i left because netjets said "we need you, you cannot turn us down" in november 2008. you guys know the story.
South sorry if i sounded pissed at your comment, i tend to agree with you on the company future and i am happy for that, as when i hear of the 600 mln Ryanair is making a year, also i am happy for my ex collegues, it is a matter of being proud of your own company as well.
Anyways lets move on,
