thanks
Frac Daddy said:1. Hiring: Not right now, but soon.....maybe.
2. Competitive? More important is STRONG recommendation from a current FLOPS pilot.
3. Base? Well, you can choose a domicile and commercial deadhead to and from there. Current policy says that you can pick a domicile that has at least three major airlines (express carriers included) and six round trip flights a day. You must live within about one hour from this airport or be within one hour by 3 am on your first day.
4. Most likely will start in the Beechjet.
Heavy Set said:With FLOPS focusing in the future on the Beechjet, Hawker 800XP, the Citation X and the Legacy, are pilots flying the other aircraft now starting to transition over? Will FLOPS be adding a bunch of Beechjets, Hawkers, etc. as it withdraws other aircraft types?
thor said:Saw a plan recently indication 12 plus new Beechjets 2005. Have not seen anything on 800XP yet though I am sure more will new ones are coming.
Operating seven Legacy acft now. Two are new five are leased from factory.
X equals one used one at FO and 2 really used one by swift.

Heavy Set said:With the fleet consolidation plan, are any layoffs expected for pilots or will they all be transitioned over to one of the four fleet types as older aircraft are phased out? I guess the King Air guys will be happy with that...
Frac Daddy said:No layoffs. But with Citation and King Air pilots coming over, upgrade times for our FOs have increased. I don't think the King Air pilots will be happy. Those bums might actually have to work if they went to the Hawker or Beechjet.![]()
Grim Reaper 2. Dollar losses continue. There is no way that the interiem CEO can hold first quarter 05 losses to that forecast to the Board during the most recent Board meeting. Weekly charter cost for the month of January alone have far exceeded estimates. There will be another announcement of a senior magagement type leaving to seek other oppurtunities.[/QUOTE said:Boy I hope you are right about another or two leaving. Hopefully the initials are JS and BS.
minimums said:Has anyone who is being forced out of the citation or king air been asked to sign a training contract for the beechjet or other a/c?
Grim Reaper My hope is that the interim CEO falls on his Regional Airline background can and is replaced by someone that will shake up middle management in a very extreme way. By that I mean replace each and every one of them; VP’s PM’s OCC managers: the lot. Why? Because these people are incompetent and dragging down the company. Pilot moral is low to non-existent and the company continues to bleed RED. Flight Options needs a new management team completely free of the influences of Ricci and the Ricci holdovers.[/QUOTE said:I could not agree with you more. The imcompetence is killing us. Can't wait until Feb 17th. We will see the real incompetence come out.
