FlexJet and a slow death.

[Club ORD FO]

It was more of a shot across the bow at those claiming we were being bought by Floptions and would be all out on the street because we're non union.

Well, yeah but hiring does not mean we are not being sold to anyone. Just means we are short staffed

OK I'm confused... So you guys wanna be sold to someone?

Some Flex guys get very defensive every-time that subject that comes up

Which is it?

My personal opinion is that Flex, FLOPS and even NJA are always for sale for the right price. Bottom line is that whether any of us are for sale or not, all we can do is do our jobs. If you feel that the company you work for is doomed, do yourself a favor and find another job so that you don't have to worry about whether your fractional will be there or not. This is not a leave if you don't like it post, just a plain matter of fact. Either way, we ALL will have to deal with whatever cards we are dealt.

agreed that any company is for sale at the right price, but it would be nice to know if Bombardier wants to sell us off or grow us substantially and kick some NJ ass

Flex has to bring people back, the attrition is growing every day with guys getting hired by legacy's and recalls to AA.

If you got recalled and have no flying job take the recall if thats what you want. J
ust keep looking for a better place. Flexjet= Stagnation no upgrades.

XOJET 18 months to upgrade and there buying Flexjets Used Challengers.

XO jet sucks ..look at their pay and schedule! What's the difference in pay between a 5 year Captain and a 8 year captain? Nothing..oh and a sweet 14 day on 14 off schedule. Flex is by no means great but, jumping ship for XO jet is just foolish.

Your hopes, don't get them up.

I work at flex..hope?!? WTF is hope?

kick some NJ ass

Dude, while our pay does suck, you realize that those on the 15/13 schedule (no 14/14...get your facts straight before throwing rocks) bid for that schedule, right? Don't want to work doubles? then don't bid for it! It's that simple.

A slight overreaction don't you think? At least you stopped short of putting a curse on him.

Since NJ bought Globals and then Challengers we've seen I don't know how many posts about putting FJ out of business with a no compete clause or, buying the planes and furloughing the crews, and this is all it takes to set you off?.... Lighten up Francis.

It's bonus day, let all the guys and gals at a slowly dying company enjoy our moment. Later in the week you can go back to ensuring this is the Net Jet forum instead of a place for all the fractionals to talk trash.
