Today the Goose is recovering from more than 500 owner flights. Thank you for feeding me and taking good care of me. Great days like that make me thankful that you care and that you care about each other. That's all. Today is a holiday and many of you are out there taking care of me. I could not be more grateful and thankful for you. Here are a few quotes from the Egg Files to keep you going.
Good Friday
"John 3:16. We love you too, and we will live to love others just as much as you love us."
- Anonymous, Independent Thinker
"Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand"
- Karl Marx, Union Advocate
Good Service
"A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large."
- Henry Ford, American Industrialist
"I see no evidence that the company is prepared to grow, and have no reason to believe management is interested in solving pilot issues."

"You are obviously a union-busting thug trying to intimidate our current leadership. My union speaks for me! My union speaks for me! My union speaks for me!"
- Compilation of various emails received on April 19
Dear Union Executive Board,
Thank you for taking an interest in The Golden Goose. Just because someone does not think like one of the three dozen morons that have taken over the message board and are the source behind your Goose-killing "strategy" does not mean that professional union-busters are here. I would say that the way you write leading questions in your surveys and have them asked over the phone instead of placed on writing allow you to twist the words of the pilots just like you twist the words of every management and union leadership team you interact with. If you writers are not the "elected" union thugs, appointees, and duly stipend puppets, then this is your notice that the ones that do "speak for you" are killing me. If I could hire "union-busters" I would, but the union leadership seems to be doing a great job of busting themselves. It's simple - no Goose, no NetJets, no Union. Just keep it up, @$$-wipes, and destruction is mutually assured.
There is a small chance that one or two of the emails came from the types of pilots that need a union. You know them - late all the time, constantly scamming the system, banging in sick to get a better schedule. If one of those emails was from you, I am so sorry - you should not have been hired in the first place. I am sure you are freaked out that NetJets is now measuring everything - they probably know you by your first name, zip code, dietary habits, pattern of "unscheduled rest," and owner complaints. I suggest you get elected as a union leader and stop flying the line, like the president, treasurer, government affairs guy, and safety guy do now. Hey wait a minute! Hooooonk Hoooonk!
Honk!
