My experience

I did the FLX (flight express) thing for 18 months. I can say a lot of good and bad about the company.

The good is they will hire most anyone who can pass the training. They hired me with only 1200 total and 15 hrs of multi. It was great that they gave me a chance to prove myself.

The experience you get is like none other. Flying single pilot IFR at night in thunder storms with just a VOR while in icing conditions will make you tough as nails. I really honed my IFR skills while I was there.

The bad part is you get the feeling that management could care less about you. Good luck ever getting time off or getting a vacation when you request it. You maybe making $120 one day and then lose your run for no reason and be making $75 with out any warning. That can suck if you get accustom to making the $120.

I don't know if things have changed, but I would say the maintenance was sub-par at best. I remember writing up items more than 5 times in one month. They will go the cheapest route to fix something. I've had radio and electrical failures just because of old worn out parts that were switched out from other airplanes.

Overall for the most part it was a great time building experience for me and I would do it again if I was just starting out. I guess I was lucky when I was there. I was only in the 210 for 9 months before I upgraded to the Baron. I guess things have changed since I was there in 2001-2002.

I agree with Dustin's remarks about Flight Express.

Time off for an interview HA! I had two weeks of vacation pay owed to me when I left, that they wouldn't pay me.

I had no problem with the MX though, I thought they were top notch.

ditto

A little over 2 yrs at Fright Express for me. I ditto what Dustin said except for mx. I was in STL and I thought those guys did great as long as the beer fridge was well stocked!!

Your time at FLX(thats the new code for ATC) will depend on if the DO likes you. He didn't even know my name for the first 9 months and that was great. After that it was all down hill and I managed to work my way to #1 on the **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**e list. Also took that $130 a day to $75 a day paycut. I'm glad to be gone from there.

Re: ditto

When I called him to quit, it was the first time I had talked to him in a year. Knowing how plays favorites and has his pets, I avoided him like the crabs.

Great experience and really great people!
I cant say I'm not glad to be done with the Single-pilot IFR stuff though!
Have fun!!!!
