Flexjet Class

[Standby]

Hey guys,

I'll be starting CL-300 class next month at Flex, and I was trying to get a jump on studying. I have a copy of all the limitations, but I was curious if any of the flex guys know where I could get a copy of the emergency procedures and Flows. If anyone could provide some help, I would appreciate it. Thanks

Don't sweat it. They will teach you everything you need to know. I would suggest not to learn it on your own and do it like they teach. You will also have plenty of time to learn. Training is very relaxed. Good luck and welcome aboard!!!

Great job on the Challenger 300 - that airplane is awesome. Very capable and nice and comfy up front for the longer flights. Enjoy!

Standby,

First, welcome to Flex. Second, did you get the limitations sheet from the company? I thought they had the emergency procedures on that? On day one, you will get your CFM (Crew Flight Manual). In there, you will find the flows. Once you are in the school house, spend your breaks and some time after class to go into the papar tiger (trainer) and you can work on both the PIC and SIC flows. That will help you.

CL300Pilot,

Thanks for the hospitality and advice. I was able to track down the limitations online and not through Flexjet. So I did'nt get the limitations sheet from the company that has the emergency procedures on them. Thanks again for the suggestions.

I'm not sure what your background is Standby...but I believe you've found yourself right smack dab in the middle of a pretty sweet gig!

Enjoy and welcome to Flexjet.

 

[On Your Six]

What kind of schedule can a newhire (on the CL300 or otherwise) expect once on the line? I know that Flexjet does not offer 7/7. So, how many days off likely per month at the beginning? What does the schedule typically look like?

Just curious. I am sure Flexjet wannabes out there would be interested too.

Standby,
take your training seriously, but indoc is about as laid back as the interview. Enjoy it and welcome aboard.

On your six,
I think the yield is down to 15 days per 28 day bid period. 16 is typical, but you can bid down and we have enough guys who like to fly extra to usually allow you to do that. Plan on a minimum of 12 days off per bid period, and as an F.O. there's a solid chance you'll land some home reserve which usually amounts to you getting paid to watch tv, play golf, or do whatever gets you excited while at home on a 2 and 1/2 hour call out.

we do have 7/7, but it is a limited number and goes fairly senior. you get a "reserve" schedule, so you can expect 6 on 4 off, or 5 on 3 off, or a combination of all of the above. you'll get to ask for 3 specific days of each month which you'll almost always get, otherwise you have no control over what days they assign you while you stay on a reserve line

home reserve in the 300? they are so short staffed tho, i doubt there is much of that going on. but i'm in the 60 so thats just a complete guess
