Flexjet & Fred Reid

[FMR8251]

Bottom line.....It would be great to get things moving around here...Reid? Who knows. The very few guys I've ask around here seem to think that his position is merely that of a "Figure-Head". Maybe this guy has a vision for Flex. Things are slow in coming. Keping my fingers crossed...

Just my opinion, but if you are only looking for a figure-head, you don't hire a guy like Reid. He is a big name in the community, and Bombardier isn't paying him umteen million to sit around and be a rubber-stamping yes man. Either he was hired to fulfill a mission, or Reid himself had a vision he sold to the boys up north, but my guess is changes are coming, I just pray they are for the good.

I believe your analysis is spot on!:beer:

Rumor has it that Globals are in fact coming. 12 to 24 months away. Also, he (Reid) is supposed to be expanding us into Europe, The Middle East and Asia. Maybe there is going to be a real Flexjet Europe again.

I heard the same thing at the Pickle Bar recently, so it must be true, right?!

It was CESAR....the bartender......very reliable guy for our pilot group. In fact, I am planning my future here at Flex based in his predictions!!:laugh:

Sorry....If I told you that, I'd have to kill you.

Seriously, it came out of lunch with TC. I have also been told by several of our pilots that M Mc had flown to Montreal 3 or 4 times to meet with daddy about bringing on Globals. I would say that the sources are pretty reliable. Besides, if you look at the growth in aviation, it certainly is not here in the states, it is overseas. It just makes sense.

Wait a minute, that means it won't happen. Never mind my earlier post. :smash:

Globals are definately a start, but I also see bigger changes in the future. This ball seemed to be in motion around the beginning of the year.

Rumor and Fact do not belong in the same sentence.....

I don't believe anything until the contract is signed and the plane is in the hangar. I don't expect any major changes.

This is FI, of course they do!:laugh:
