Flex Schedule

[Pro-Line 21]

Hello everyone. Does anyone know what a typical schedule is like at Flexjet? Are they hiring into all their bases? What aircraft are they hiring into?

Thanks

Split 16 days out of 28 anyway you want and you got it.

Second hand info. They need pilots but many aren't making it through the interviews, something about lazy regional pilots. They hire into the Lear and C300. C300 seems to be very popular with customers therefore the fleet will move towards majority challenger.

On APC.com the FJ schedule is listed as 214, 202, 195 days. What exactly does that mean?
Is there a reserve schedule per say?
If so is it something that is commutable within?
If for instance you are on reserve for 6 days would you be in a hotel at your domicile waiting to be called the entire time or something else?
Do you move over to a regular schedule? (ex. 6 on 6 off)?

Jett,

I will try and answer your questions for you.

The schedule on APC is based on working 16, 17 and 18 days a month. They are wanting to have pilots work an average of 15 days a month. So, you have the ability to bid less than 16 or more than 16. That is your option.

There are different types of reserve. If you bid a reserve line, your lines are being built by our crew planners. What they will do is fill in your required days on the heavy days or where they need the extra crew members. Also, they have to give you 24 hours notice before you are to go out. I believe you also get a minimum of 2 days off after your rotation. Also, you might get home reserve. In which case you have to respond to the airport required within 2 1/2 hours from the call. There are times on the road you get a 6 hour maximum block of airport reserve for back up and you could be in a hotel on "hotel reserve".

The best thing you could do for yourself and your family is to live within 90 minutes of DFW, ONT, FLL or EWR. We do have guys who commute, but you must be in your gate way by 0001 of your start date. These guys usually end up crashing at an FBO or use their points for hotels.

From day one after IOE, you are on a regular schedule. It could be anything from 6/4, 5/4, 4/3 or anthing in between.

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask or PM me.

Are they military friendly? Is reserve senior?

Do you have to bid reserve?

Do you have to bid reserve?

No you do not have to bid RSV but do not look at this as an airline RSV schedule as 99% of the time you are working on your RSV days.

We are not particular to where you come from but more attitude towards providing excellent service. If you are one who does not like to interact with the Owners, throw bags, do lavs and be an overall team player then Flex is not the place for you.
