FlexJet and a slow death.

[doh]

Rouge, that is a good question. I am not sure how many are left on the list. Hopefully they will update soon. I see a few people posting on the internal asking for an update.

It's all part of Net Jet's and Bombardiers plan and the orders with Bombardier.

yeap that's it, you got it

Netjets and Bombardier executives have been meeting in a secret bunker to plan flexjet's demise

tonight Hansell is bringing chips and guacamole.

Sorry guys, same thing happened to us a CA. NJ places an order with Bomardier and Cessna and we suddenly start winding down and now you guys are. I'm sure there was a deal struck to get rid of the competition. They keep saying here at CA there trying to make it doing Jet Management and Charter, if it works we are going to be very small, about 30% our original size. Regardless, I'm in the 70 on our list and I'll leave in a heartbeat if any of the Airlines call me for an interview. Good luck to all involved. I think NJ needs 5 crew meals a day instead of 3, LOL.

What about Flight Opts taking over Flex?

There have been rumors on the road. The Lears and Challengers 300's are now aged to perfection which FO likes.

Now that's a great rumor with no merit!

You misread the email. It didn't say proficient. It said flatulent. That way, it's not just the other guy's flying that stinks.

Forget waiting till 35..That mask is on at 10k baby.

All the best ones are like that ....

Directional Capital and Flexjet reps flew into Atlanta's PDK airport this past week for meetings. Sounds like Ken Ricci wants Flex. If it happens and they merge it doesn't sound good for the Flexjet pilots who are non-union.

Source?

Signature PDK - call them and ask them yourself.


Can you see the trend with manufacturers running programs?

Raytheon's Travel Air - Gone

Cessna's Citation Air - Going

Bombardier Flexjet - Next

WOW that's really bad for the FX guys.... as if getting stapled to the bottom of a seniority list wasn't bad enough but FLOPS'???

SERENITY NOW

OK Here we go!!!! If it's not Netjets buying Flex now its FLOPS. Come on now!!!

No kidding! Understand Options treated the Raytheon pilots very bad.

Yeah, Signature PDK knows it all! You're a tool!

But on the bright side, itll be really good for flops..we are paid at least 30% more than them. Coupled with that truckers union it'll be better than NetJunk.

The rumor is that it might be just under the Directional Capital umbrella of companies and not merged.
Such is the case of Nextant, Sentient, Spinaker, Constant Aviation and Jose's Taco Shack.

If they are merged the aircraft and customer would go to Flight Opts and the pilots to Jose's Taco Shack.

It appears Flex has to be either sold or dissolved. They (Bombardier) can't be in competition with NetJets, part of the deal with all the new airplanes NetJets just bought. So it seems they will just sell the airplanes to a different entity and hopefully offer Flex pilots and FA's jobs. Maybe?!!?!? Sucks as Flex was a awesome place to work.

Our Section 1 protections aren't rock solid, but I don't think KCR could get away with doing this. Then again, he may be looking to challenge scope.

The only way they could do that is if they operated it as a strictly charter business. Pesky parallel operations clause in Scope.

What's your issue with Flight Options?

Btw, the word "FLOPS" is the equivalent of "nuttjets" in the view of many of us that work at Flight Options.

Also, I don't think the IBT merger policy stipulates a "staple".
