Netjets. The Other Side Of The Coin.

[Flintstone]

Sometimes people get so wrapped up in what they perceive as the negative things they become blind to the positive. I've done it myself. Grown to dislike a job/place/person so much that everything about them gives me the irrits.

There's been a fair bit of this lately concerning Netjets and because I haven't gone along with the slaggings it has been suggested that I am 'management' which is strange when you consider that I'm so far down the food chain it ain't funny.

However, I do believe in giving credit where it's due so here goes (with apologies to happyjack).

A few days ago a Netjets captain was struck down with a serious attack of food poisoning. It's onset was sudden and although the flight was completed safely it soon became obvious once he was on the ground that it was more than just an upset tummy.

The company told him to check into a (Swiss) hospital immediately with instructions to use the company credit card to settle all the bills without quibble.

They then contacted his other half back home and offered to fly her out to the hospital. Fortunately this was not necessary as he was discharged, after some lengthy and expensive tests and treatment, the next day. The company booked put him in a hotel to rest before flying home the day after and since then have taken a keen interest in his condition.

How dare they, eh?

It's nice to see something positive at last.:D

I'm honestly not trying to throw a negative blanket over this positive story, but could it be that NetJets is interest in this particular Captain because of a seniority thing? Maybe they want to keep him and therefore do things out of the norm for him? Maybe it was a case of sugar coating this Captain so that he would over look this situation and not cause ****?

You indicated that you were quite far down in the food chain, therefore, do you feel convinced that if this had happened to you, that you would receive the same treatment?

I only ask because of the amount of negativity about NetJets in recents posts, this story kinda seems strange.

Anywyas, no offense, it's just a question/thought.

Thanks

This just shows how low your expectations are!

A guy goes sick downroute on company business and the company has absolutelyno problem using their medical insurance in Switzerland to have him treated.WOW,outstanding!

And as he probably hadn't seen his wife since the start of the duty it might be a reasonable thing to do to allow her to see him
in hospital.

I note 'the flight was completed safely',at the planned destination I assume, before he was taken to hospital.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Sarcasm noted. Planned destination was also the nearest.

Perhaps my expectations are low but then that might mean my being disappointed less than others?;)
