Ricci/Rossi coming back to FLOPS?!

[jetwash]

I have no Doubt that now MS days are numbered..But as far as improvement? not with this Slime ball

I also think MS is now counting the days until he is escorted to the parking lot with a box containing his personal items.

While Ricci is not my choice as the perfect CEO.
If his return means that MS will be exiting the building, it is in some perverse way an improvement.

With the union now on the property and the unity of the pilot group solid, it is just a matter of time until there is a contract that will protect us from whoever is sitting upstairs in the executive offices.

You guys thought Uncle Kenn was dumb. Lets see, he bought the oldest, cheapest planes on the market. Then sold them at a huge discount on the fractional market and made huge money. Then the mx bills started coming in on these old planes. He stopped paying them and was bailed out and bought out from Raytheon. He sat next door with his window to the world watching the turmoil continue and counting his money from his share of the sale. Now he has some magical fix to turn the BJ from junk to junk with economical engines and winglets. He will likely now walk across the ramp and get paid a huge salary to fix the problems that MS built. It won't even cost him a dime as it will be H.I.G's money. Then he will convert all the BJ's and make more money than ever! Now that is just priceless! Stickin it to the man Kenn! Now what was that you said before you left Netjets plus 5%? We will see how his memory is now.

P.S. I was never in the FOK (Friends of Kenn club. But with the NJA+5% that he stated years ago I can be in the friends of 1108 club.

:laugh: I continue to be amazed at how that guy can make anyone believe (still) that you're getting in on the bottom floor of Microsoft...

Same thoughts here...at least when we our getting our weekly "address" from KR, we can laugh at how full of **** he is...with MS (150% pure evil), the bad thoughts can't leave your head, and there is never, EVER room for a sense of humor with the situation, just to get you though the days at this dying place. It isn't a good place to be in for so long.
As we have said, KR has an interest in not letting this place die, no matter what his motives. He also knows how much happy pilots pass on that attitude to the pax, and has seen full force how bad it can go the other way. Maybe, just maybe he's learned something...but there isn't a CHANCE that MS has or ever will. His whole career is based on running companies into the ground, and he won't "blemish" that record.
(look at us talking like KR is CEO again):laugh:

Somebody please call or write if any of these people come up with a business plan, any real plan with or without a union. Surely they can make Netjetwife an additional director and that will solve the crew issues. All that is great, but just where and when does the company make any money.

And until such time that Flight Options' management comes up with such a plan, maybe they can stop pi$$ing off both their employees and customers. That alone would probably go a long way toward getting back to profitability.

The Power of Positive Mental Attitude

If the Ken does return, and this will be my 18th year on and off with him, I will have a much higher level of faith in the survivability of Flightoptions.

Ken can sell. Of course his style doesn't work for everybody...

Ken dreams big, then he forces the market to see his way.

Since I've been around him he's been up and down four times. He truly is remarkable in his nature to make a comeback.

He also has a nack for the pilot culture, although yes, it does get a little creepy.

His archilles heel however is follow-through. Perhaps we'll have a little more cash on hand to ride out the bumps this time. Perhaps a less manic attitude. Well that's my hope, anyway.

who cares

Voice, don't you have a spelling bee to attend to or something. We have much bigger issues to attend to than spellcheck. After fourteen hours and 90% of the time not even having the time to read what you write who gives a dang. Ricci coming back is not a good thing, a contract would be a good thing. You can pay me sh&$*#&$*t and treat me well, or treat me well and pay me sh*&#*@^#&@*t, but you can't do both. That is something those clowns upstairs in cgf will never figure out. This place is doomed. I give it six months or leess.

wonder is Salada will be comming back, this will be bad as well

Oh sweet-I can't wait for the weekly message again and for the BB's to ring at midnight with Combat Joe's daily SOP.
Well, the good news is... The game has changed... Changing the players will do nothing at this point. The only thing that will settle the pilots is a fair industry leading contract. I am all for the Show me the Money line.. But.. more importantly than that is work rules that protect the pilots from a corrupt set of leaders.
Contract NOW!! or CLOSE the DOORS!
