Any news on how Flex is doing? Any news of possible layoffs. Don't seem to hear much about them. That must be a good sign and they are survivng the storm.
 
Sales are down, but that's on every market. Live hours are very much on track compared to last years. Company weekly updates shows that we have been extremely busy all thru the holidays. But 2009 sure looks like a very challenging year. Let's hope we don't loose any brothers along the way.

fly safe!

Hope things turn around soon so NJ/FX don't have to furlough and CS/Xojet/FLOPS bring those guys back....
 
How many net airplanes will Flex get in 09 (incremental to existing fleet)? I presume some 605s, 300s and 60XRs will arrive while some older LR60s, 604s and 45s will leave... Any deliveries planned in the near term?

Personally, I'd love to fly one of those CL300s....
 
I am hoping we don't go backwards. Net airplanes will be tough this year. But then again, I have no real info. I am just looking at the broader economy. I would love to see a net a/c or two in '09! I would love to see all the furloughs back on line and ZERO furloughs for us and Netjets. That's my Christmas wish list for us all in '09!:beer:
 
I has already been announced that flex is shrinking their fleet next year. so.... that means....?????

...that the fleet might shrink in 2009. Prediction is that we will see a net reduction in the single digits. No changes in staffing before spring at the earliest. Management seems intent on avoiding the situation they had in '02 when they let pilots go, then found themselves short when the recovery started.
 
we run a pretty tight ship and that has helped us quite a bit.

I've heard a net loss of a few airplanes next year...prolly gonna be a few older 60's headin out.

Best of luck to all those unemployed this time of year...may we see a turn around ASAP!

this is true…..the way Flex Jet staff airplanes is usually less than other companies, which now has helped ride this situation a little better.
