Flex Contract

Wondering if anybody has left inside their two year deal?

Payment plans, thugs that like knee caps, they didn't care?


Thanks

It is not a binding contract. Leave if you have something better. If they take you to court you will win. The few they have gone after won their cases. The contract is illegal so dont worry about it. They usually only go after the ones they didnt like or didnt drink the FJ koolaid.
 
Flex possible new hire questions.

Then why have one?

What is the upgrade time right now for a new hire at Flex? I know everyone goes back to the lear and loses a year in pay.

Are people signing on to NJ for the big pay raise or riding the fence and waiting to see what management does at Flex.

If a Flex newhire went to NJA and the company chose to come after you for the contract you could pay them and still have 9k in your pocket after shelling out the 20k.
16/12 at Flex: 40.5k
18/10 at NJA: 69.5k

Unless Flex does something nice it's a no brainer. Live at home, pay no health premium, better vacation, more money, and does the upgrade really matter unless you're still looking for a better job than Flex in the long run.

IMO... I wouldn't sit on the fence. NJA takes a while from application to start date I'd apply now and get in before the hoard.
 
Why is it every GD time a question is asked about flexjet you get info about netjet?

Hey NJ pilots some guys may not want to work there so unless you are asked about YOUR company STFU PLEASE

Well then if you don't look at the payscales of the different companys, come over to FLOPS and tell them you will work for the curent pay scale, and when we get a pay raise, you can just not take the raise and you can STFU. called research

Hey NOLIFE, thanks for the info, I didn't know this. I don't want to work at NJ's, I would rather work at FLEX, (For 30k less) but this was good info none the less..........

Bro... I'm not an NJA pilot. I was just pointing out the obvious if a Flex newhire where to leave for NJA before their contract was up.

Flex is a great place to work and the only reason not to finish your contract is the opportunity for better QOL and pay.
 
Okay Vix, what is illegal about our training contracts? I'm not starting a fight, but rather have an interest in law. (I am a training contract winner, but the grounds for my win was so obscure, I can't imagine anyone else sliding in on that basis.) On what grounds have past employees won their cases?
 
I believe that the contract makes it a condition of employment which is illegal. Also when you sign it who notorized it as your signature and what were the repayment terms. Nobody tells you that you must pay "x" dollars per month and no one validates your acceptance signature and repayment terms. Just my 2 cents i could be wrong.
 
I've had some experience with training contracts as well and according to my lawyer most of them are legal. In the end the outcome will be determined by the venue, the judge's beliefs, quality of your lawyer, and several other factors that you can't control.

Bottom line is if you walk be prepared to pay or fight it in court and keep in mind that if you fight and lose you may pay more than the contract amount in legal fees.

Wasn't bagging on you man just tired of reading how great NJ is while trying to find info on Flex. :blush:
 
All I can tell you guys at this time is that Flexjet owner contract prices have officially changed, wish I could tell you more. Hang in there, the news will be positive.

That's not nice, you can't tease us like that and just leave us hanging. Or did you hear something from DG's niece's cousin's neighbor's best friend's former roommate? In that case it must be true.
