Flex

[Ref]

I am considering sending a resume to flexJet in the next few days. Just wondering if there is a PIC turbine time requirement. I have my atp and 2500 total but have yet to log any PIC turbine time. I couldn't find that requirement anywhere so it thought i would ask. Also does flex pay during training?
Thanks

PIC Turbine not required

If you have 2500 total (not sim, as they don't count sim time), 500 multi, 500 turbine, an ATP, a first class medical, a valid passport and an FCC licence, that is what they require. Good luck.

You will get full pay and Per Diem during training. If you live in Dallas you'll get day per diem, if your from another gateway you will get per diem from the time you leave for training until you get home. Plus you will get to stay at the best hotel in the world.

Which hotel do they put you up in during training?

 

[walshsfly]

If your not from Dallas they put you in what used to be called the Verizon, I think its changed names now though.

Is it a nice hotel?

If you live in dallas area you don't get per diem while in training

I start class on April 5th. I was told i'd be paid $1,528 base salary every 2 weeks plus 24 hr per diem, which is $42 per day, since I don't live there just yet. The hotel is the Verizon Conference Center, the same one they put you up in for the interview.

how long does the training last

 

[CL300Pilot]

About a month. First week is all company stuff like 135, CPR, customer service, etc. Then you go into ground school with systems intergration and then sim. After your check ride, you go and do you aircraft familiarization (Phase 1), get some time off, then go into phase 2 which usually takes 2 rotations. When done there, you will be a regular line pilot. Study flows, EP's and limitations every chance you get and it will make your training much easier. Good luck.

Uh, yes, you do. They pay you 8 hours a day per diem, even if you're from dallas.

I'll see you there then. When did you interview? I live in Dallas already, so no hotel for me. The offer sheet I got mentioned the base salary during training, but doesn't say anything about per diem, guess since I'm local.

When JG teaches you how to fill out your expense reports she will tell you how to fill out per diem. When you get a company email address PM me and I will send you an electronic version to make life easy.

Thanks for the replies guys. Sounds like a good deal to me so i think i am gonna go ahead and send in a resume and see what happens.

Per diem is calculated automatically now so you don't have to do it on the expense report. You might want to fill it out anyway to have a good idea of the check you'll be receiving, but it's not required anymore. If you live in the Dallas area and are staying at home during training you will NOT be receiving per diem.

walshfly, I'd like to get my hands on that electronic expense report if you wouldn't mind sending it to me.

Per diem is not automatic during training.
