    Economy up but fractionals flat

    I haven't studied the numbers and can only speak from my now experience (and that of friends and colleagues). The private aviation market was very different in the past few "up" portions of the economic cycles. There were not many excellent options years ago so fractional had large market...

    The next 5 yrs at Flex

    Jetmaster -- my sincere apology. But after about 15 years on this board, I have probably fielded a comment like that 1000 times. The fact is in the business world we call it "due diligence" and "monitoring". I am continually surprised that pilots think we can not find a board like this or ask...

    The next 5 yrs at Flex

    Jetmaster ... after well more than a decade on this board, helping out quite a few of you with questions, advice and support in times of need ... I will not even answer.

    The next 5 yrs at Flex

    I realize this will be a very incendiary post, but I will ask anyway. Last night I had dinner with a good friend of mine who is coming to the end of his FLOPs contract. I do not know the numbers but he says they are giving him an amazing deal to say for another 5 years. I started talking a...

    A sister of XOJet bought it. TPG Capital is the ultimate parent of XOJet and TMC.

    Flexjet has a new App!!!

    I have never had any issue with pilots and a delay to to fatigue. However, it is up to the company to management the fleet and crews in such a way such that the company can provide a quick, suitable recovery flight when fatigue does occur. I do not know the flying rules and regulations, but...

    Flexjet has a new App!!!

    The ones I know aren't distracted. They are fed up with recovery and scheduling. A major reason many fly fractional is to get there quickly when we want to get there. Not to have our provider delay us and make lots of excuses and gets us there many hours later.

    Flexjet has a new App!!!

    "Flexjet launches the most advanced mobile app for fractional owners" "Flexjet has an industry leading disruptive new mobile owner's app" "Flexjet to elevate owner's experience with new app" This is absolutely amazing. Though most owners I know prefer to be "elevated" by having the jet...

    Flexjet Scamagement Hits a New Low

    I agree with your last paragraph 100%. I cannot believe those who bargain shop or those who go for JetSmarter. I think there are only 2 ways to have a much less expensive private jet experience (1) cut $ for pilots (including salaries, benefits, road hotels, training, etc.) or (2) cut...

    Flexjet Scamagement Hits a New Low

    Hey IMissMyPilot. I am not ok with it. I am not with FO/FLEX -- I was there for a very short tine a number of years ago, saw some of this myself, and left.

    Flexjet Scamagement Hits a New Low

    Many of us have side letters. yes they are easily gotten from sales but they do not usually cover things like # of crew per aircraft across the fleet and operational matters. They usually cover aircraft per day, upgrades, downgrades, guaranteed back ups and delays, etc.

    Flexjet Scamagement Hits a New Low

    Most owners have no idea of these operational details nor do they really want to get involved. They want ease and convenience. Also, what you raise are not issues which can be dealt with by a contract by contract basis. So unless all owners "band together" it won't happen.

    Flexjet Scamagement Hits a New Low

    Most existing owners have no idea what "Red Label" is. It seem appealing to new owners. You are correct -- old Flex was a great operation. I only had a few cards with them for supplemental lift -- but my friends with them were happy. Those of you who have seen me on the board for years know...

    Flexjet Scamagement Hits a New Low

    How many off the 154 a/c actually fly? I know previously aircraft count included Beechcraft without fewer than 2 engines and on the ramp? Also, "customers moving from competitor's programs" do include customers moving from FO to FX. A few of my friends are long-time FX owners and they are not...

    Citation Latitude

    Opinion from the back I have been in the back of a NJA Latitude. Very nice - we have been in a number of the Citation a/c with NJA -- Excel, Encore, Sovereign and X. The dropped floor and the extra width go a long way to making it much more comfortable and roomy in the back. Things are also...

    One Sky taking over Netjets!

    Maybe NJA is looking at buying some Nextant 90s to compete against Wheels Up?

    You'll be moved...

    Dumb question -- if it is dedicated crewing, what if you are not nuts about the co-workers you will be spending a good bit of the next 5 years with. Almost like being, married to them?? Also, based upon the NTSB report I read on the BED G-IV incident, I would weigh the "safety gain" of a...

    You'll be moved...

    To be fair and honest, I left before the Red Label became a selling point (though it was discussed). After the FX-FLOPS merger was announced. I did have some previous card experience with FX and liked the service - but as far as a share was concerned wasn't keen on having to buy a new share...
