Flexjet crew domiciles

[1900dr]

Are the pilot domiciles correct as posted on airlinepilotcentral.com? Did ONT close as a pilot domicile and replaced with DEN? Wish they had west coast domicile.

You are correct. Bases are DFW, DEN, FLL and EWR. You could ask and see if ONT is still available, but it was such a disaster for the company that they are not looking to hire into that base. But again, if you live in the ONT area, it does not hurt to ask.

It's bizzare that Flexjet would not open more pilot domiciles (especially on the West Coast now that ONT has closed) given the popularity of Netjet's latest TA. Most people like flexibility and want many domicile options - right? If other fractionals can offer many domicile choices why can't Flexjet? I presume the domicile issue is basically a bargaining chip for negotiations at the moment...

What happens to all of the current Flexjet pilots who were based in ONT? Do they now get displaced to Denver or one of the others or can they remain in ONT?

IMHO, Flexjet is waaay behind the curve. It offers fantastic aircraft (I love that CL300) but its domicile policy, schedules and health care offerings blow... Get with the program Flexjet!!!!!

Fixing just a few things would really give Netjets a run for its money because Flexjet is already a great product/service.

Does not help that we have a former regional manager about to be in charge. If he had his way we would only have DFW as a base and do not be surprised if new hires are being told that only DFW is available as a base.

It amazes me that they close Ontario WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE. No one here seems to care either. That is how flexjet works. It's also funny that they tell us they wont compare to netjets because its not the same "model" as us yet, citation shares is virtually the same size as us and have 10 times the bases.

I wonder what you will find to complain about if we do get a union.

I am a little slow. Let me get this straight, the ONT based pilots are no longer based at ONT and have to move to another base? Or, will those people previously based at ONT continue to live there if they so choose? It just seems so random. Why shut down the only West Coast base when a lot of pilots probably want to live on the West Coast...

Sounds like Flexjet management is BEGGING for a union...

Sure looks like it !!

There are so many good oportunities for common sense gateways, where maintenance takes place, and where aircraft are routinely parked for instance: SUS, GSO, MCO, ORD. Why the Flex management can't see the benefits is beyond me.
