I just got hired with Flexjet into the CL300 and was curious as to how much international flying it does and to where. What countries can Flexjet fly to.
International is all luck of the draw. I've been in the plane for just over a year now and I haven't crossed yet, but I know a lot of guys that have. Remember its a 7 hour airplane, it can go anywhere from just about anywhere. I've done 6:45 without leaving the country, and landed lots of fuel left. Its an amazing machine and you'll love flying it.
Little off topic, but how would you compare flying the CL300 to flying the CRJ in terms of handling, systems, ergonomics up front, etc.? How many hours up front before it starts to get uncomfortable? I've heard 1-2 hours in the Citation X...
For international flying specifically, do all CL300 pilots receive the same training or is it seniority based? Could a new FO on the line get a European trip?
Does anyone know if Flexjet allowes pilots to do contract flying on their off time?
C604Pilot, thanks. I try to be as honest as I can and try not to blow smoke. Someone mentioned that most trips are going to CA's and that is true. It is more important to the company for obvious reasons to get the CA's checked out. Also, and this is off topic but real important for anyone looking to come here. As I and Walsh and others have stated before, if you don't want to sling bags, clean the cabin or work your tail off, don't come to Flex because you will be miserable. Everyone comes here as an FO regardless of how much time or credentials you have. You could be a 50 year old retired airline captain and be reporting to a 30 something male/female captain at any given moment. That is just the way it is. But the company is a good one.
Now back to the originally schedule topic : )
