Change is in the air at XOJET...

Did any Flexjet pilots get fired when they were bought out by Onesky or is it DAC? I think everyone kept their job and they still operate seperately as Flexjet. Now management and office personel is a different story, they would definitely be on the chopping block.

It's not legal under McCaskill/Bond to only take the aircraft without the pilots. Do a google search on the subject and educate yourself so as not to unintentionally inflame.

Come on dude it's a "grey area". Uncle says so.

The expense of type ratings, training and experience...

Relatively tighter pilot market ... and increasing demand ...

I do not see a high probability pilots being dismissed.

So how far do you let it go? The Aviation Week 'realignment' article says it all. http://m.aviationweek.com/nbaa2014/flexjet-flight-options-realign

One CEO, shared and migrating fleets and programs. Sound like a single carrier yet? Anyone? Bueller? Or do you just enjoy the ride (and dues), eat steak on the pilots' dime while you negotiate for the next three years, and let KR have his way until there are maybe 90 guys left flying charter for Sentient in old Beechjets and Legacies?

XO is going to OneSky.
Only the aircraft and contracts No pilots so do yourself a favor and get your resume out.

Unless you're BS himself or someone else in the know tell us your source? I know its the internet and all but...

Lear, Ricci / Sylvestro openly tell the crews, we just want the planes and no pilots. Now ya have to consider the source, but he is still saying it

 

[learflyer]

Well XO is either saying no to it or Ricci is unsure whether to continue pursuing it.

Once again, who is going to fly the planes. They are already short staffed over at FO and FJ, with not many taking recalls. Plus it would be KR,s dream to add another non- unionized pilot group. Just saying.

They made a lowball offer that was turned down, months ago. It's funny to me that these guys talk so much...but I guess they'll keep talking as long as they have their parrot audience.

If it happens, I'm willing to bet it will be with terms that are not as advertised here on FI.

And the XO crews are paid less than FJ and probably less than FO.
