Not sure about his figures and predictions, but the impact on pilots could be very ...

Decided to stay with my company where I was working as a F/O . Became a Capt. . And guess what? It looks like that we will be fired! Does anyone know if Netjets would accept my reapplication? cheers

Quoting NYC2theworld ( Reply 233 ): And how many tickets allow overnight stopovers across the US? Plenty, look at the itinieraries of several trips, they will all notify you when you have a stop of several hours, or overnight. Or, you build your itinierary so it allows for you to do so. Off the top of my head I know UA, CO, AA and DL all notify you when your trip has a lengthy...

Read the annual reports! Buffett has consistently said if there is a streak of losses, changes will come. Netjets has lost money in the majority of years since its 1996 acquisition. Back in 1978 when Buffalo Evening News was having trouble, Buffett also sent in someone (Stan Lipsey) else to fix it up.
