  • A Guide to Netjets
    A GUIDE TO NETJETS THE SMARTEST WAY TO FLY PRIVATE NETJETS 101 WHO IS NETJETS? Beginning as the first private jet charter and management company, NetJets has led the industry for 55+ years. Then in 1986, we revolutionized it with the concept of shared ownership and proceeded to build the largest, most diverse private jet fleet in the world. Today, as a Berkshire Hathaway company, we offer a full range of personalized solutions to meet—and exceed—the incredible needs and high standards of the world’s most notable travelers. NETJETS 101 3 WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO FLY PRIVATE? When taking every precaution matters, NetJets will always be the smart advantage. Because flying with NetJets means peace of mind—and that is the ultimate luxury. When you’re ready to travel again, we want to help you rediscover your favorite places—and perhaps introduce some new ones too. WHERE CAN I TRAVEL WITH NETJETS? From the busiest travel hubs to the shorter runways in the world’s most exclusive destinations, NetJets will get you there. We fly into and out of 5,000+ airports across 200+ countries and territories, which is more than the top 4 airlines combined. 5,000+ AIRPORTS Across 200+ COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES (That’s more than the top 4 airlines combined) NETJETS 101 4 WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE NETJETS OVER A CHARTER OPTION? Private jet charter has a decidedly different business model than NetJets. With the average charter company operating a fleet of fewer than 10 aircraft, these small operators rely on a network of brokers and charter aggregators to bring their aircraft to market, creating even less transparency in terms of who operates the aircraft and to what standards.

  • BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas Between 1945 and 1957)
    Last updated 10 March 2021 BEECH 18 PRODUCTION LIST Compiled by Geoff Goodall PART 2: BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas between 1945 and 1957) Beech D18S VH-FIE (A-808) flown by owner Rod Lovell at Mangalore, Victoria in April 1984. Photo by Geoff Goodall The D18S was the first new commercial Beechcraft model at the end of World War II. It began a production run of 1,800 Beech 18 variants for the post-war market (D18S, D18C, E18S, G18S, H18), all built by Beech Aircraft Company at their Wichita Kansas plant. The “S” suffix indicated it was powered by the reliable 450hp P&W Wasp Junior series. The first D18S c/n A-1 was first flown in October 1945 at Beech field, Wichita. On 5 December 1945 the D18S received CAA Approved Type Certificate No.757, the first to be issued to any post-war aircraft. The first delivery of a new model D18S to a customer departed Wichita the following day. From 1947 the D18C model was available as an executive version with more powerful 525hp Continental R-9A radials, also offered as the D18C-T passenger transport approved by CAA for feeder airlines. Beech assigned c/n prefix "A-" to D18S production, and "AA-" to the small number of D18Cs. Total production of the D18S, D18C and Canadian Expediter Mk.3 models was 1,035 aircraft.

  • Poverty Pay and Food Stamps at American Airlines Survey of Passenger Service Agents at American-Owned Envoy Air Reveals Reliance on Public Assistance Programs
    Poverty Pay and Food Stamps at American Airlines Survey of passenger service agents at American-owned Envoy Air reveals reliance on public assistance programs Poverty Pay and Food Stamps at American Airlines Survey of passenger service agents at American-owned Envoy Air reveals reliance on public assistance programs Executive summary Envoy Air is a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines, the largest passenger airline in the United States. Envoy employs more than 3,800 passenger service agents whose responsibilities range from guiding planes on the tarmac to de-escalating tense situations among customers. Envoy agents work at some of the nation’s biggest and busiest airports as well as smaller regional airports that connect flyers to travel destinations around the country. Wages for Envoy agents are among the lowest in the airline industry and start as low as $9.48 an hour. Many agents say they must rely on public assistance programs because of the low pay. This report explores the use of public assistance and the effects of low wages among Envoy passenger service agents, drawing on data from a survey of 900 employees across the country, as well as first-hand accounts of their experiences. The online survey was conducted by the agents’ union, the Communications Workers of America (CWA). Approximately one quarter of all Envoy agents participated. The survey’s major findings include: » Twenty-seven percent of survey participants reported relying on public assistance to meet the needs of their household » Food stamps were reported as the most commonly- used type of public assistance (20 percent of all survey participants) The Communications Workers of America (CWA) represents 700,000 » Among agents not receiving public assistance, 82 percent workers in private and public sector of respondents said they rely on help from family and employment in the United States, friends, often in the form of financial assistance, childcare Canada and Puerto Rico.
