Dedicated aircraft at Flex?

[V1 Rotate]

The DO stays fairly active on there. And when Ricci reads the 100 posts about this ridiculous uniform situation he's probably going to have a coronary!

Wait didn't you guys have a committee, didn't you guys vote? What Kenny did what he wanted anyways?

I have been told by the sales group, while not official or final yet, in the Challenger and larger an owner will usually fly on one specific tail and see a very small group of pilots (6-8) on a regular basis. This will be the main method of differentiation (along with the passenger cabin of each jet having different leather, fabric and carpet). This will give the owner the real feeling as if he was flying on his own jet with is crew. I told them it could be a neat idea, has to be real efficient, and I would not pay more for it. This is part of the "bespoke" service.

How did the prices compare?

Don't believe anything they tell you.

 

[johnsonrod]

They will also offer Concorde shares...

Deanna White is involved in Flops contract negotians. So if she's as wonderful as we hear. Flops pilots should have one hell of a contract fairly quickly.

Was that meant for NJAowner?

Multiple owners flying one large cabin long range tail and it has to be "real efficient". What could possibly go wrong?

Owner, I've got a fractional bridge for sale if your interested? I can probably give you the FI discount if you sign today! I'm calling it the Nospoke package.

The weird thing is the implausibility isn't what strikes me most. The absurdity of pretending this will make someone feel like he's flying on his own jet really ought to make you sell your share. These guys clearly aren't playing with a full deck.

I don't see how the dedicated crew concept is going to work. It will probably come at a higher price and the potential prospects are going to want to interview and select their crews. Not practical.

It will work if it's a pay increase for some. If First Officers get a pay increase, a new type, and a PIC position, it'll be worth it to them. They'll adapt to whatever the cons are.

I pray it doesn't work out. This will be bad for flex.

Or replace us all with Flight Options pilots.

Well, Options pilots do work for about 25% less, so that'd be one way for him to save money.

He is on his way. Phenom 300's operated by flight options flying flexjet owners. Lower labor cost and flexjet's higher fees equals more profit.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

^ Bingo.

 

[shanes123]

Hey the Flex guys are starting to get it. What you haven't experienced is this is about the 3rd+ time this ******************** has been tried never worked once but they insist on trying it again and again. that's what happens when you have a guy that spent his whole life in the army and doesn't have a clue how the civilian world operates he would have us painting our names below the windscreen if it were up to him. And KR would love the idea. And the comment bluenose made about 25% less is spot on.

 

[luckydog]

One of the biggest problems with the bait-n-switch plan you've outlined is that the owners aren't stupid. They can leave whenever they feel like FJ has become FO, and they told KR so. As they all say when the subject comes up, "There's always NetJets".

Flexjet pilots under your few page work agreement, still believe that they can't / haven't / will not change anything?

1) Confirmed, Deanna White is gone replaced with Mike Silvestro as the CEO.
a. All of the management that you have known and trusted are out. Did they not try to sale the fact that your management would remain intact to make you feel safe? Sorry for the inconvenience but we changed our mind about that.

2) Already junior Flight Options pilots are operating your biggest aircraft ahead of you with seniority protected above and beyond yours.

3) Your do not disturb or call agreement GONE.

4) Junior Flight Options pilots headed your way with the promise of Ken Ricci that they will be in the Lear for just six months and will be transitioned into the G as PIC ahead of all FlexPilots. Dedicated Flight Option crews with seniority protected above and beyond yours.

5) EMB-300 now to be marketed with the Flex store front painted in the new OneSky colors operated solely with Flight Options crews and aircraft will remain on Options certificate.

6) The entire company headquarters will be located in the Flight Options facility in Cleveland this is a fact just you wait and see. The only facility that will remain in TX will be possibly a MX base. Im sorry didn't they also lead you to believe that things would remain in TX? Sorry about your luck.

I can keep going but this is plenty for now and for all you non believers please don't take my word for it call Mike Silvestro and ask him, after all he is your new CEO.

Wake Up Flexjet Pilots.

You wander why I left? it was a question of ethics.
