This is great news for the fractional pilot. The others will be forced to pay more or sink...that is how our free market society works. First was NetJets, now Citation Shares and the rest will follow.
I suspect this is going to have a positive affect on the 121 guys as well. Their carriers are going to lose more pilots to the better initial pay of the fractionals and the different schedule options. It is just a matter of time. They will have to pay better wages or they will have a even harder time attracting the pilots they want.
The only thing I see as being a negative here is the possibility of a company upping the pay for their labor to compete and ultimately putting themselves out of business. I am not saying it will happen because I think that most of them are well run, but it could. I hope management has a good handle on this so it will last a long, long time. I definetly want a piece of this pie.

I wouldnt hold my breath. The 2 hour rule is an issue with our POI. Before the NJ TA they seemed to be leaning more towards closing some bases than opening more but with NJ's list of 100 who knows. They are certainly missing out on a huge number of pilots because they don't want bases in "one airline" cities. A great example of how they are losing quality applicants to save 30 bucks on tickets.

They are saving that for the next round of negotiations in a year or two. That can't give everything away... I do think the 2 hour drive requirement is a bit restrictive - but hey, at least compensation is more competititve. One step at a time...
