Hold on tight

Don't forget the secret IBB that's been going on between the 1108 and FlOps to make this menage a trois work. Something about "10/300"...

Now you're talkin'!

Flex schedules a sudden all hands meeting for tomorrow morning at 8:15. Just sayin.

If the RUMORS are true, it sounds like another section of a once proud industry, is about to bend over and take it up the gazooo....

When are you guys going to start fighting?

Someday you'll wake up when you are 80, and still flying because you can't afford to retire, and you'll be asking yourself, was it worth not ever seeing my family, just to make it better for the uber wealthy...,,

I hope I'm completely wrong of course, but I doubt it....

I put in an app there when they had the ads out. Has anybody been called in for an interview yet? What's the low down there at Flex?

From what I understand, these events will ultimately expand pilot job opportunities in the segment. Some will happen sooner, some later.

I heard one deal only involves airplanes, no pilots.

I heard one deal only involves airplanes, no pilots.

Well, now THAT would be interesting. We don't have pilots to properly crew the airplanes we currently have. Why in the world would we take more airplanes with no pilots to fly them?

It's Flex and Options.

Congratulations!

"We are all Union now...."

 

[Club ORD FO]

[Propilot77]

We're hosed!

tomorrow netjets is buying flight options...

everything is back to normal.

Very interesting. Always good to get new equipment. How many pilots at the combined companies (non-furloughed) today?

Probably early, but is the order meant to replace or to complement the existing combined fleets? I assume replace but that would mean getting rid of all FLOPS fleet types including the Nextant Beechjet (40 on order) that the FLOPS CEO has been touting...
