FlexJet Pay/Workrules/Benefits???

[gret]

Remember the good old days when any thread about Flexjet was hijacked by NJ guys before the 2nd page? I really miss that.

I expected this to have some info about Flexjet pay and benefits, instead it's the a 'who screwed up Flight Options the most' thread.

Not a word about Flexjet offering furloughed FLOPs pilots interviews?

Good post...a little smarts into what has turned into a ......whatever you want to call it.

Here ya go...Instead of honoring their commitments to those with interviews already lined up, now they are going to call the 180 FLOPs furloughed guys for an interview, starting with a phone screening just like every one else. Once they've gone through that list and hired the ones they prefer into a pool, then they resume normal, off the street interviews.

....Once they've gone through that list and hired the ones they PREFER...

Any guesses to which ones they will prefer ?

( Hint: KR is working around the clock to bust the union)

Apparently, they prefer people whoever can have an intelligent, coherent phone screening, then in person come across as someone who they'd want to spend six days with on the road and then pass the sim eval. That's from them, not me. Any more than that in which you choose to try and decipher is up to you. I have no doubt that this has KR written all over it.

Yes, Flexjet pilots, heed the cries of the 1108 leadership and their chorus! They come here warning you that you'd better do all you can to join them now, or risk suffering the same fate that they themselves negotiated for the Options pilot group.

Not sure if this is more tragedy or farce. Can't imagine why there'd be a movement afoot to change things among the Options group.

Which way do you want it Ricci or Teamsters?

 

[shanes123]

Why would any flex pilot not want to at least hear what the union has to say? The union is fighting for the pilots. Do you think management has the pilots best interest in mind? One more question has Ricci told anyone at flex he's the best union steward the pilots could have?? That was his big line back in 2000 just wondering if he's still using it

My recollection is that RIF returned while Kenn was off property.

Ricci was on the property and hiding in shadows. He ordered the RIF and schreengia and middle management executed it .. Then Ricci emerged on his white horse fired Scheeringa and acted like he was cooperating with the union and brought back the RIF guys that he ordered fired that's the way it happened

So I guess the phone screen I had arranged that subsequently cancelled due to a HR project is this?

How long till off the street continues?

I didn't like the CP's last email concerning sick days. He said when he was rehired he was in it for us. Well he just proved he's not. I hope this is an isolated case not the beginning of managing through intimidation.


If I misunderstood the email then I apologies.

I am in no way, shape, or form in the know on this. I just try and keep up with it all. That being said, I assume they have already started calling these guys up. Who knows if 20 or 100 or more of them get put into the pool? Whatever that number ends up being will determine when they resume off-the-street again. The first eight aircraft deliveries, the Lear 75's, don't start showing up until July. So, you figure two months for training and maybe a month or so prior to that to start calling people for classdates. The only thing we know for sure are the aircraft delivery dates and everything else, especially the number of FLOPs guys that come over, are pure speculation at this point. Sorry to hear that your interview has been put off.

I thought the same thing! I think the second honeymoon might be over.

It's quite simple really...just tell us what is going to happen with our sick time, banked sick time and watch the sick calls stop. The fact that NOTHING has come out only means it's bad news because if it were good they already would have told us. Many people are losing tens of thousands of dollars in banked time and will not let that happen again.

I'm guessing you're going to PTO: all time off is lumped together in this category as Paid Time Off, and you earn a specified amount per month. I hope you get to keep your banked sick time (perhaps converted to PTO at some ratio), but will be a little surprised if you get to keep all you've accumulated - especially if it is a large number.

And that is the value of having a union, for me. A written binding contract for when the company is sold, when nobody thought it couldn't or wouldny happen, but it does and it did.
