The president Elton D'Souza was fired today.
Good news.

Careful you might end up with Alex Cruz

I thought that the original NetJets' advertising campaign was very effective and appeared to be successful .

Why is it that bosses are such awful dickheads sometimes? Peter's Principle writ large I guess. The reason why I have chosen to be my own boss. At least I know that dickhead well!

I read (a rumour) that his peers were not particularly happy with Mr D'Souza at TAP.

I was very interested in the NetJets mathematical model from the outset.

NetJets

In 1984, Executive Jet Aviation was purchased by mathematician and former Goldman Sachs executive Richard Santulli who owned a business that leased helicopters to service providers of offshore oil operations. When Santulli became chairman and CEO of the corporation, he closely examined 22 years of pilot logbooks, and began to envision a new economic model where several individuals could own one aircraft.

In 1987, the NetJets program was officially announced becoming the first fractional aircraft ownership format in history. Around the same time, painted on every NetJets US aircraft is a registration ending with QS, symbolizing the concept of selling quarter shares of an aircraft—a feature that is still representative of the NetJets brand today.

In 2019, a former NetJets pilot filed a lawsuit alleging that in March 2017, the company violated US Civil Right and Ohio anti-discrimination law when she was fired for being too short (5 feet 2 inches (1.57 m)) to properly control the rudders of an Embraer Phenom 300. She states that male pilots who were too tall were reassigned to different aircraft, while her employment was terminated without the opportunity to fly a different plane.

Bunch of shortists in the parent company...

My first bicycle had wooden blocks (fitted by my father) on the pedals.

Mine too, exactly as you describe G-C. I was not very tall as a youth, but then my dad had acquired a full-size bike for me, so the blocks were necessary initially, but I grew into it, so to speak.

How much does it cost to get a private jet?

I worked for TAP for three years and some years later another Portuguese company and I was not impressed with the management of either. I resigned from TAP for a better job and was made redundant by the second company, but with a decent pay-off.

I really doubt NJE will get another CEO sort of person. Mario Pacifico was a waste of time and Elton D'Souza was just totally unsuitable to the job. He didn't understand the business and his ego was such that was he didn't listen.
TAP definitely don't like him. (He isn't Brazilian, Indian with Portugeses ancestry).

If you're too short for the Phenom, chances are you'll be too short for any other aircraft in the company. But I'm not a lawyer or ergonomic specialist.

Elton D´Souza, ex-TAP, is removed from the leadership of NetJets Europe after one year

Elton D´Souza, the manager who left TAP shortly after winning one of the controversial performance awards, was invited to leave the leadership of NetJets, where he had joined about a year ago

Elton D´Souza, former director of TAP's revenue area, hardly warmed his chair at NetJets. One year after taking over the leadership of NetJet Europa, a private jet company headquartered in Paço de Arcos, Nelson D´Souza was removed from office.

The NetJets statement on the departure of Elton D´Souza, to which the Expresso had access, does not give the reason that justifies the departure, but it is done in a hostile tone, implying that the manager is not welcome in the company, and that its management lacked transparency.


"Elton D´Souza is leaving as president of NetJets Europe, and he will never join the company again", explains Adam Johnson, chairman of the board and president of NetJets worldwide, in a note announcing the resignation of the manager, and says that he will be replaced by the company's executive director, Christian Luwisch.

Adam Johnson stresses that the departure of Elton D´Souza is an "opportunity to contribute to greater collaboration, transparency and alignment in the relationship between NetJets USA and Europe". The president of NetJets also stresses that it is also an opportunity to build a "sustainable culture of trust, accountability, and respect" as determined in the 20/20 flight plan.

Elton d´Souza was one of the managers brought to TAP by David Neeleman, when the North American investor became a shareholder in the Portuguese carrier, from whose capital he is leaving.

The manager was at TAP for three years and seven months, and when he left the company he was the leader in the revenue area.

It was known to have been one of the two highest performance awards attributed by TAP in 2019, related to the financial year 2018, a year of losses, a decision that deserved open criticism from the Minister of Infrastructure. Elton D´Souza had received a prize of 110 thousand euros.
