Flexjet Big Day...jan 15th

[doh]

At one point in time I was told management did not want our payscales published on FI.com and that was why they were not emailed to us. That makes no sense because the first thing my friends want to know before they apply is Money and Time Off! So of course I tell them and they tell two friends... and soon there is inaccurate info out there! Seems to me we would be better off if we published the accurate info in the first place. but what do I know, I'm just a line schlub.

Yeah,
we don't want our payscales posted on FI.com. What? They're posted on airlinepilotcentral.com? Well that's a different story. What a bunch of rubes.

Story I heard was that new FO payscale will look alot like the current LEarjet CA scale, and Lear CA will get about what Challenger CA are making. Challenger CA will get a hardy thank you (no difference in CA pay moving forward). I think it's a relaible source - guess I'll find out Tuesday.

Seems like an evening conference call would have been a better way to do this, if they want questions....

Payscales have always been marked "confidential", but FLSA says that an employee cannot be punished for disclosing what he/she makes.

I've heard this rumor as well. Hope it's true as it would be a nice beginning.

Supposedly new hires have been told that Flex is studying an additional 10 bases.

They have been studying additional bases for the last 5-6 years! The only thing different for them to consider is the fact that there are now 245 members on the 1108 website.

Frankly, I think that the new package is going to be something special.

Something? Yes. Special? Not.

It will amount to nothing more than what would be considered a normal cost of living adjustment. Benefits will not change except for the new 401K option that has already been announced. Maybe 3 or 4 additional bases to be opened sometime in the distant future and a reduction to 15 days.

We will be voting on a union come May or June, the upcoming roadshows will almost guarantee that.

Also, do not lose sight of the fact that even if they were to throw a ton of money our way (Not gonna happen) it still comes without a contract!

Contract, Contract, Contract guy's. That's what is needed.

Good luck to you guys/gals.

But...expect a disappointment.

Just the truth...

Yippee-ki-yay Mr. MClain,
post on here a bit more and you'll see where I stand with regards to the union.

Did not mean to cast any disbursions about your pro-union stance, I have lurked around here long enough to know where you and most others stand.

I just get a little nervous when I read threads that contain responses about everything except what is really needed most at Flexjet.

I've never understood why it is, when one company doesn't have a UNION, that that is what we need. Is it because misery loves company? Everyone has an opinion, but don't keep trying to force your lifestyle onto others that wish not to be part of that lifestlye.

Most people here would hardly consider it forcing I should think.
