FlexJet Upgrade??

[Iam3rd]

What do you expect us to do when a FlexJetter invites us in like Googie did? I understand he should be ignored but he made it so tempting...

I'm sorry, but I just can't help myself. I get the biggest kick out of listening to you guys get your panties all in a wad, ranting and raving.....I guess I have to get my humor from somewhere.

O.K., this is the skinny on upgrades. We are getting so many 300s this fiscal year they have decided to decrease the upgrade time from 2.5 years down to 6 months. Rick even said they may start hiring cpts of the street!

Now that is funny Hammer! Thanks for brining a smile to my face.

upgrades are running around 2.5 years and yes, Karen will tell you worse case. The destinations change hourly so you need to be flexible, you will get plenty of New Jersey and South Florida and about the time you've had enough of those destinations you get Aspen, Vail, British Columbia, etc.
Our sales team rivals any in the industry so I don't see sales slowing anytime soon, we have not lost a customer to the competition in 26 months and continue to receive owners from all the other fractionals. We do fly hard at Flexjet so expect to be busy when you are on the road.

Flexjet has a history of supporting their family members, they have flown an aircraft out to pick-up a crewmember on duty so he could see the birth of his boy, flew a Lear to get family members (not the wife as he crash close to home, this was secondary family members) after one of our pilots was injured in a motorcycle crash, flew a guys wife to him after he had a heart attack and then flew them both home after the hospital stay, and this list could continue!

As for the airlines, thats an individual choice and Flexjet will support you either way as long as you bust your rear for us while your employed here.

You won't be getting to Aspen for awhile...it's closed for the summer.

And the Netjet guys wonder why the pilots at Flexjet won't unionize.....If Flex were to unionize, they would no longer be able to do these things.

sigh...:smash:

But why even respond in a thread about upgrades at Flex? Are there Flex guys always posting in NJ threads? I don't really know I don't go into them that often, if ever.

UND, "Dump the Zero and get with the Hero"...skip the Flex interview and come over to NetJets.

And this is the problem!

You gotta be kidding me, right? Your boy Googie changed the thread. Don't be unhappy with the fireman pouring water on the house; direct your admonishment to the arsonist who started the fire.

I tried to put the fire out. But some of you keep throwing gas on the fire.

Let's face it guys and gals, netjets pilots will NEVER be happy. I still see the same bitter faces prior to the contract. I'm not 100% happy at Flex either but, no one is ever THAT happy! I'm almost convinced now that Flex actually is a better place to be among the fracs because of our consistency. Yeah growth and sales is slow but, in the end, we make profit.

Back to upgrades. Right now 2 years and 4 months at current rate and that probably wont change; since it seems we will be adding 300's to the fleet like Germans into France for the rest of eternity. They can't get these things fast enough.
