FlexJet / Flight Options / SkyJet

[Dingo221]

We are a happy family,
FlexJets lots of Lears 85 / 75
Flight Options, The Phenoms 300, no more Legacies but the G 4 Sps are back!
Business Jet solutions , Bye bye (not a surprise either ).
Sounds like positive news to me.

I assume this info is from the FLOPs meeting today?

 

[Fresh Air]

Yes, the mighty Kenn has spoken. The Flops and Flex pilot groups WILL be combined, as soon as possible. The next six months or so should be very interesting to watch.

Interesting. Does this suggest fewer fleet types per company? What about the rumor of adding Globals?

Did he mention how the lists would be integrated?

 

[t-bone]

What is SkyJet? And I thought flops was buying XO...

It will be done fairly!

What is this bull.... I saw about being assigned to one tail number? What's the story on that?

 

[SDCFI]

So then Flex pilots would move over to the FO cert? The dynamics of putting almost 400 pilots through a full indoc in a short period of time sounds awfully daunting. Word I heard is KR basically told the pilots to lose the IBT or he'll wind down Options. Truth?

 

[doh]

If he told them that, it would be a violation of the RLA.

 

[doh]

The indoc and switch to FLOPS certificate would most likely occur during recurrent.

What do you consider fair?

 

[johnsonrod]

So, obviously not many details so far. But are we talking about GIVSPs replacing the Legacies at FLOPS and then Globals for "Skyjet"? Or will the GIVSPs go to SkyJet? Who will get to bid the heavy iron at SkyJet?

This is CORNfusing...

 

[CL300Pilot]

And that would mean what exactly? If NJA would have gotten us as part of the Global deal, NJA's version of fair for us for for all of our pilots to be gone since they have 400+ on the street.

Also, and here is a biggie that I see, you guys are going to want us to vote in the union to avoid decertification. So, why would we do that and drop down to you pay? I realize that can happen anyway, but right now, our pay stands at least for a year. Honest question here. Not trying to start a verbal argument.
