FlexJet hiring

[Raskal]

Maybe I've been lucky, but this is pretty rare for me. It certainly happens, but its definitely not an every day thing. But we do fly a heck of a lot. Call me a sicko, but I'll take a full day of flying over sitting in a hotel room any day of the week. Makes the rotation go much quicker.

Man, I dunno. I hate not working, but right now I'm kickn' back on a 1 night overnight (our day ended at noon, accompanied by some unbelievable Italian food) at LGA watchin the Masters and wasting away again in flightinfoville

Kidding aside, flying more does sound attractive to me, I'm known at my company as one of a couple pilots who never turn down a trip and get very restless if sitting.

I'll bet this has probably been answered somewhere, but just in case?

How long to upgrade and how long is the training contract? Also, what is the most junior aircraft, and how long does it take to move into a different aircraft?

Upgrade, who knows? Its like Netjets right now, pretty stagnant. There is some growth from the 300s but your guess is as good as mine as far as upgrade. I'd guess from today...4-8 years. Sad but true. But its not linear; it depends on all sorts of business and economic aspects that would make a great dissertation for someone, but not me. Training contract is two years, I believe. I don't know why they assign certain people to certain aircraft, but it depends upon their needs at the present moment. Basically, I don't have answers to most of the questions people ask...story of my life.

Do you have to live at a gateway or can you comute?

 

[Cpt Splash]

You have to live within 1.5hrs of your Gateway's hub(EWR, DFW, ONT, FLL). Dallas is the most popular Gateway, but FLL is starting to get real popular.

You do not need to live at your gateway. You do need to be at your gateway at midnight the 1st day of your rotation. Or you need to be within 1.5 hours of your gateway at midnight the 1st day. We have a few guys that do commute, albeit I think that are nuts.

Actually, it's not such a bad question. Some fleets (like at NJA) probably fly more than others I would think... From what I hear the Lear 40/45 fleet is pretty busy and the CL300 is getting very popular.

heavy, you just seem to know everything about everything, because of what you heard. Face it, from your posts, your not a pilot, why do you pretend to be one.

Few Questions:

Does single engine turbine PIC count/help towards getting hired?

Are there FA's on the 604s/300s?

Are you getting rid of the 604s eventaully and going to an all 300 fleet for the big cabin airplanes?

Who can I bribe to walk in my resume?

 

[psysicx]

Does everyone start on the Lear or can you start on the 604? And how often does that fly international?
