FlexJet lays off 25 pilots

[jonjuan]

Then why the he!! didn't he buy a couple weeks ago at KB's in Savanny?:beer: Poor RTRHD got stuck with most of the bill and he's paying off the ex!

Because CAs pay for their FOs.

The old farts I refer to are the ones that OPENLY admit they DO NOT NEED TO WORK. Jeez, you netjet guys are a bunch of whiners. Grab your backpacks and go download some more Spears.

AND as far as "doing the right thing"; If I'm 70 years old, don't need to work for financial reasons, I would proudfully retire early if it meant saving ANYONE'S JOB. It is the ethical thing to do and since you netjet guys only think of yourselves, look it up in the dictionary you pricks.

I'm a FLOPS guy and I also think you are a prick!

I think Flex furloughed the wrong people.

Who then in your opinion are the right people?

I believe he is talking about the whiners...

Show me a pilot who doesn't whine and I'll show you a liar.

I'll be more specific. I believe he is saying Flex should have laid off the guys on this thread who are whining about the old guys who won't retire. My opinion, fwiw: If you start getting rid of guys for some arbitrary reason, where will it end. Layoffs in seniority order, and terminations if you can't pass the checkride or get a medical because of a permanently disqualifying condition. Other than that, fly 'til you die if it makes you happy.

Thread drift, I know,,,,, but at least Porter will get her landing!

By the way, I agree with you. It seems like a "these guys got hired before me, and now they are older, so they should leave anyway" kind of jealousy.

Get over it.
