No and after a few months you are going to hate the job.

you were offered a job, and DON'T live in base? I take it you told flex you would move to ONT?

I live in Phoenix. I have 90 days to move to a Gateway (base). I told them I would move to Ontario or Dallas but thought about trying to commute to Ontario.

I wish FLEX would consider doing home basing. It would then set them aside from Net Jets. Or atleast ask the group how many would opt to do it. It would also give Flex a much more of a pilot selection and they would also be able to retain more employees long term rather than a stepping stone. Flex is by far the best Fractional out there.

I agree... I think Citation Shares has the best basing program. Pretty much any decent sized city is covered which gives the company affordable airfair to and from bases and gives pilots the option to live just about anywhere (Seems like it would be hard to live more than 3 hours from a Citation Shares base) Why can't Flex and NetJets do the same??

This is going to turn this thread into all the other ones im guessing...

Flex means Flexible for the owners not the pilots. Be ware.

Don't try and commute that far, I did and it sucked. If I know you, and I think I might, DFW would be better. If I don't know you then I'm wrong. But lets just say Sabris at AAO

Hey, yup, you found me...

Better to move to DFW vs. Ontario. No personal income taxes, chepaer housing, hotter babes........... BTW, I know a few guys who live in PHX and commute to LAX for Netjets - it works for them. Not sure why Flexjet can't do the same - I am guessing the 7/7 schedule helps with predictability.

We have a guy working at flex right now that lives in PHX and commutes to ONT, he's done it for years.

And to anyone interviewing at FLEXJET, bring up home basing or more bases at your interview. The more of you that request this in your interview, the more likely it will help us get more bases. They need to hear it from YOU!

Doesnt Shares require that you live within 2 hours of a gateway prior to the interview?

Every thing is cool in DFW...except property tax...shudder.
