Wow. That's really not a bad deal.

Thanks, Doyle.

What are the chances for airline types who are 121 Charter that are about to retire? Does Flex want guys like us? Also, what's the 30 question ATP test like?
Thanks for the info.

We have alot of retired American and Delta guys. I definitely wouldn't sweat that atp test, it's really a joke I think! With your time, you'll laugh when you take it. Basically, if you meet the minimums, you can get hired. They definitely don't discriminate against older guys! Customers like to see some gray hair up front! Send your resume ppriest!

I agree with doyle. Also, you have to ask yourself the big question. Can I take orders from someone who is 20 to 30 something and potentially a female. Some people have issues with that. Just as you have read in other posts, this can be a hard working job of slinging bags, doing lavs, cleaning the interiors, etc. We have had many former airline guys who did not like it and left. Also, some folks have disliked not knowing what you schedule was each and every day. While some days, everything goes according to plans, others change from minute to minute. When you hear people say, "We put the Flex in Flexible", they are not joking. Good luck in whatever way you go.

Congrats and welcome aboard I think you will love it here. As you said the interview was very easy and during mine I had the ACP for the 60 doing my sim eval. He was very surprised when I showed him how we use to roll the Lears when I was flying freight and just asked me not to do that with the Flex LR's LOL.

LOL, if you can talk about something like that during an internview...thats laid back

If I'm living in JAX, can I drive down to be in position to work, or do they not allow this?

If they do, can anybody based in S. FL tell me if this in reality is do-able with the schedules?

Thanks

Well I'm not based in S. Fla., but I know how far it is from JAX to PBI!/FLL!!/MIA!!! Yeah it's allowed, but whatcha gonna do? Start out at 10 pm the night before to start a full day of work? You're not gonna want to do that.

What about commuting from Houston? Is it feasible?
What time do you start?

We have people who do it. Most of them just get a hotel next to DFW the night before. The Red Roof Inn offers pretty low rates for that area.
