FlexJet/ Gateway City Policy?

[dueguard1]

Are newhires allowed to live outside of the gateway cities?.....If so how far? Or what is the company policy if hired??.................... Currently living in Atlanta, don't really want to move the family...but would sure like to get out of Regional flying eventually, as well as Fly the Challenger......Thanks!

90 min from Fll, ONT, DFW or TEB

You can live anywhere. Just be with in 90 minutes of your gateway at midnight on day 1.

Any hotel, etc the night before is on you. Also, recurrent training hotel stay will be on you if you are Dallas based, no perdiem either, unless you are based other than Dallas.

And...you get a $4,000 relocation expense check....

Not exactly. You turn in your moving expenses. They will pay up to $4000. If your turn in less, they pay less. You have to have receipts!!

Not true. All you do is give them your new address and they add $4,000 to your next check. Are you telling me they just changed this policy????

I was told a month ago you just get the $4000 check.

It is $4000 minus taxes.

I was told different two years ago. Maybe they did change!

A guy I flew with last week said his 4Gs showed up on his paycheck minus taxes 2 weeks after his IEO before he even moved.

So I think this is one area where flex is doing right by new hires -- they have the money upfront to move. Even though other fracs are paying relo expenses (even though flex claims they are the only ones, they're not -- look at the other threads on this issue)

It would be better to not have it taxed as salary, but I think to harp on that is just being ridiculous when we have much bigger issues at hand.
