Flex hiring?

[jetwash]

We've heard that too. That explains the sudden need for Lear captains to upgrade into the Challenger, and the proposed hiring later this year.

Did uncle mention the Xs?

The X's are newer then the FO X's so they will probably just replace them one for one with no net change in the number of aircraft on line or change in staffing.

Funny that Cabbie has you calling KR "uncle" now.

Here's something else that's funny. Of the pilots that have gone to the GLOBAL, four are mangers and two are line pilots. And what's better! The managers became UNION MEMBERS to keep their seniority numbers at Flight Options! Hmmm. I wonder why? Maybe if the lists merged they can go with the higher number. Regardless, this has nothing to do with future contract negotiations. This simply has to do with "uncles" favorite boys at Flight Options.

So, how does it feel to have former Flight Options managers, and line pilots, on the bottom of the Flexjet seniority list making more money and flying Globals?

Maybe, just maybe, some pilots on the Flexjet seniority list aren't happy about that. How's that Employment Agreement working? Did it protect against this?

Spreading that false information again.

The FO pilots on the Globals are NOT on the FJ seniority list.

It doesn't bother me at all that they got a job that I didn't apply for. Lots of people are hired at UPS and FedEx and that doesn't bother me either.

Flex will be hiring soon

Why do the furloughed pilots at FO have to resign their seniority # to fly at Flex? It's not a union carrier, so no dual unionship.

Great question.

The answer is, the don't.

 

[V1 Rotate]

But they should. If single carrier status ever happens and it comes time to integrate then guess which hire date they're going to want to use and then leap frog their fellow Flexjet pilots.

Not saying this is true or false But its not the first time KR has flat out lied about a Deal, new Fleet, More planes or a million other things. I can see why a rumor like this would benefit him right now and then when it doesn't happen, he will just say it was a business deal that we couldn't agree on like CA..Oh wait that was the unions fault!!

 

[Imissmypilot]

Great question.

The answer is, the don't.

The FO DO have to give up their seniority numbers, but if(when) FO merges with FJ, they get to keep their FO hire date at FJ. I suspect that merger is happening sooner than FJ pilots think. Uncle Ken is a sneaky one.

If you're looking to get hired on from the outside then don't hold your breath. Gonna be awhile.

You are assuming that FO pilots will take this FJ offer. It will be interesting to see if they do. It could be that very few will want to be stapled. Then again, I don't know how bad it is over there at FO. In any case, it is an interesting scheme.

Maybe an FO or two who would rather fly a Cl30 instead of a beech junk...and get paid more.

True, but don't forget that there are plenty of furloughed guys that may take it.

That's a good point, if FJ acquires so many more CL30s, they would hire into the right seat. I don't think it is going to be a big number exiting from FO to FJ.

Beech JUNK?
Actually the improvements make it a plane I can live with. Uncle Kenn though outside the box and I hope it makes him millions.
