Flexjet DAC

Hearing through grapevine people I know there that very senior pilots are leaving in large numbers. True? Appears pilots are waking up to reality of life under KR

Senior Flex pilots? Same ones that voted no???

 

[Dirty Squirrel]

Do tell.

 

[GlorifiedCabbie]

What 2 pilots? And who can say that they actually voted no. Everyone can guess, but when the reality of the KR management style sets in, a lot more of the Flex pilots will wake up. Are they able to flee or will they be classified as one of the "trapped" employees? Only time will tell.

Not really the "very senior" pilots you're talking about, but the brand new Flexjet Chief Pilot, anounced this afternoon that he is leaving for "a position at another company". This is RF. A really good guy out of the training dept. What's he know ..... ?

Couple 15+ year guys have left for Southwest. Others are trying to leave.

Well I think anyone under the age of 45 at Flexjet started looking the day the sale was announced and the events and changes of the last 18 months have really made people take a long look at other work.

APC thread just reported 2 year upgrade at delta. gotta be over 270K/year (including 15% 401k contrib, 22% profit share, etc).

TWO years? C'm

 

[Dooker]

Sorry. Meant to say, "Two years? C'mon."

And what's the point of even posting this little factoid on this thread? Obviously anyone who could go to Delta likely would go to Delta. Or Southwest. Or American. Unless they're mentally deficient.

If you've managed to accrue enough PIC time, or have managed to snag a company check airman or standards slot (they loooove to hire those guys), and/or still are young enough, and/or have the connections, and/or belong to a class of people who get a preferential bump during the screening process, you'd be gone in a second.

If none of the above, consider yourself stuck.
