Latest at Flexjet?

[Boxer]

Awfully quiet on the Flexjet front... Any latest and greatest out there?

The latest is we need to recall some pilots. It's getting to that point.

i've had a lot of 14 hr days, and the last few go home days are 15 1/2 hrs. I don't think anyone at the bottom needs to worry about further furloughs. I would guess there would be recalls this fall. We're keeping busy for sure.

 

[Jack Campbell]

I sure hope you guys get recalled soon. Good to hear you're busy!

The sooner people get recalled the better. Will be good for everyone.

Any talk of returning to the 16 day guarantee? Or is 14 going to be the new normal?

15 days is the average yield and it is supposed to stay that way. They supposedly have no plans to go any higher than that.

Wasn't it down to that prior to the furlough anyways? I can't remember.

I honestly don't remember. This is just what TC said in long recurrent.

May is supposedly the big month as to whether we furlough some more or not.

We've been busy lately that's for sure.

 

[Ref]

If FlexJet furloughs more people in May the folks who are left are going to be working their butts off. I understand the summer is not our busiest time, but the company wont be able to handle the workload come November through May(Of course this is only my opinion). It seems to me we have been super busy with the people we have now. I cant imagine what it will be like with less folks (Although I guess I wont have to because I will be gone). On a good note I haven't heard anyone talking about more furloughs here lately.

My sources say new lightweight jackets and ties are on the way.

Does that help?

Not at all.

I think it was 15.5. Not enough to make a difference.

I've had a 32 hour and a 30 hour (6 day) rotation in my recent history. 14 hours, min rest. 14 hours, min rest, ad nauseum. I don't see how we can furlough again. Bring back the 85!

I agree on that. To bad there are some NJA guys that do not share the same view point. I hope you Furloughed Flexers get back on property soon!

"They- scheduling" might be testing minimum staffing levels.
