    FlexJet and a slow death.

    I really feel for you guys at Flex. I'm not seeing anything that is positive about this. No matter how it is inevitably being spun by the ACP's, why could this be a good thing?

    FlexJet and a slow death.

    My guess is the only reason the word "global" is being used in this whole thing is to calm those with big-plane-itis. How about space shuttles? There's a few of those laying around isn't there?

    FlexJet and a slow death.

    Probably not BUT, now we know the REAL number of what Flexjet was worth. You figure it was maybe at most making a 8 percent profit(and that is generous). So, figure around 11 million a year coming in. That's some nice leverage for credit for, hmm, other things. Yea they ordered airplanes...

    Flexjet Pilot Conundrum

    Good post, (a little disorienting) but, the problem at flexjet is and will always be the 604 fleet and the top 50 in the 300. Yes, the first 110 people or so on the list only care about self-preservation, not the collective whole. I have no dog in this hunt but, I don't think anyone would...

    Hold on tight

    I'm not at flex anymore but, ran into crew in SAN today and overheard the conversation and they seemed nervous about losing 401k match and vacation stuff more than seniority type issues and union junk. I'm not so sure that this is a good deal or not, only time will tell but; based on how the...

    Clay Lacy Charter @ VNY

    I worked at CL a short stint after Flexjet and wouldn't advise working there if you are asking questions about days off and schedule.

    FlexJet and a slow death.

    Spread crap? Don't bend my words little friend. I'm NOT spreading anything, just speaking the truth of what sentiment your pilots tell me on the road. Trust me, I've moved on but would like to see Flexjet succeed. My point was that I used to make fun of charter operators because I thought...

    FlexJet and a slow death.

    I'm not at Flex anymore but, talked to a couple of Flex guys on the left coast the other day and it seems there is never anything good to say. Always the worry of an uncertain future and a last minute management style seems to take its toll on the workers there. Never realized how much that...

    FlexJet shake up

    Like I'm going to give a name on here. I thought it was a little obvious but, the "L" word is what was mentioned. The sustainability of un-crewed aircraft is bound to catch up to the drain and I'm betting the drain is REAL close. Airplanes do not make money sitting somewhere for weeks on end...

    FlexJet shake up

    Out on the west coast today and heard not so good things coming at Flex.

    FlexJet shake up

    What did Fred do for Flexjet, really? Remember all the grandiose fleet plans and all the TV spots on how Flexjet flying was up over 100%? How could anyone believe ANYTHING this corporate lackey had to say? He did NOT deliver anything that was planned other than layoffs. You can't spin his...

    FlexJet shake up

    Hopefully this is the first step of many "retiring's" towards the top at Flex. Fred should switch to politics where promising the world and delivering NOTHING is revered and encouraged. He WAS FIRED, plain and simple. A retirement would entail a lavish party and a memo from Pierre stating...

    Bombardier and Netjets

    Bombardier is NOT buying net jets. Why and to what purpose would it serve Bombardier other than a bunch of complaining pilots that make six figures under their belt? They already have a completely disgruntled group of pilots and an office full of people that aren't able to sell anything other...

    Flight cancellations surge at American Airlines

    And their employer has been bending them over for the last 18+ years in a row while upper mgmt takes record bonuses. I don't know about you but, it seems the best way to hurt rich people is to take their money. It's the only recourse they have. What do you expect them to do G4? What, in your...

    Flight cancellations surge at American Airlines

    I must say though airlining the other day, our taxi time at DFW from landing to the gate was 28 minutes! I could have literally walked faster than we were taxiing. I was pissed but, I get it---LET THAT MF BURN! Enjoy AMR management!

    Stealth Age 67 to 70

    What is it with baby boomers? LET IT GO. Enjoy your family and die in peace and not at the controls. Good grief, RETIRE ALREADY LOSERS

    Bombardier and Netjets

    Bombardier hates unions, I wouldn't lose sleep over this one.

    Bombardier and Netjets

    Now that is funny! I can't think of a better way for Netjets to become leaner and right sized than they could with FR at the helm; and with DG and TC polishing and cutting his toenails under the desk.

    The Flexjet Netjets Rumor Mill

    You are probably right but, it's interesting that I care more than you do and I've been gone almost 4 months. However, I WOULD expect that attitude coming from you; it's the exact sentiment that has been laid out at flexjet so, well done in spreading your genius. Now go create some pie charts.....
