flexjet

[ArtVandalay]

Early in his tenure?? He doesn't even start until next month!
Enter sarcasm here->Yeah, I can see it now. Flexjet paints all the old Independence RJ's and begins hiring 500TT trust fund brats to fly Flexjet pilots to other pilot bases to save money on airline fares.....
Fred Reid's first announcement will be the addition of 25 Global Express jets sold to XOJet.....

 

[JokerFuel]

More in line with his operation standards: he starts hiring 500 hr TT pilots to fly Flex legs at a cheaper price, in 50 seat ERJ's.

 

[Flex-ible]

How about he gets us the Global 5000 or Express so we can be REALLY long range - and maybe see some growth. The 604/605 fleet is stagnant, to say the least.

 

[doh]

My girlfriend's brother's sister said her boyfriend's sister's brother overheard Fred say at 31 Flavors that Bombardier approved us for 3 Global's. I guess it's pretty serious.
Thank you Simone.
No problem whatsoever.:laugh:

Talako - just wonderin'. What does Penske have to do with Flexjet? I thought he was just "all things automotive".

 

[Semore Butts]

Still looking for my buddies

Wow! It would be great to finally see a Flexjet Global.

I've been waiting since 2000.

Sure would have liked to be a CL300 Cpt.

On another note, I'm looking for information on a couple of Flex guys.

If you can help me please PM me.

Both of them were shot down in action! One in a bar in West Palm and the other in Cleveland! But seriously, pm me their names and I'll try to hunt them down for you.

The only problem is, Flex is not currently reviewing any new resumes that come in due to tremendous backlog and slow pace of hiring.

 

[DirtyBeech]

Fred Reid +Virgin Group-Bombardier=Virgin Flexjet!

Actually, I heard that our new name, via the merger, would be Flexible Virgin.

Hiring has slowed to a crawl, and HR has large stack of resumes, but don't give up. Chief pilot says company needs roughly 4 CL300 fo's per month through all of this and next year (not sure about the other fleets for 09). A handful of Lear guys are moving over, but there will be a need, assuming economy doesn't completely tank. Forget the Bombardier website, only realistic chance for an interview is to have a company pilot walk your resume up to HR, once they begin accepting again, I believe HR asked pilots to hold off for a while till they catch up.

 

[GSXR600]

This is true...........we are so short on CL300 fo's and fat on other fleets like the 60 that company actually asked a couple 60 fo's to come over to the 300.
+ we are getting 5 more this year. Some of them are in final checks in BDR if not alreary flying.

Bombardier and Penske were talking about a buy out, but from what I understand, Bombardier upped the anti on us and Penske walked away. Good thing, I didn't want to fly yellow and black planes.

Then how come I had SEVEN days of home reserve between June 1 and July 15?

 

[DirtyBeech]

Because rather than fly everyone some, the sodomizer is set up to fly the living dog mess out of a few crews and let everyone else do standby or home reserve.

Be thankful! Those are few and far between in my experience.

 

[lookin4better]

any new bases ? Chicago ?

 

[Photoflight]

negative and none in the works either

 

[skysharke]

Is Ont a base a new hire could get? I thought it had been closed for Den?

 

[CL300Pilot]

It is still a base, but no, new hires cannot hire into it.
