Flying CL300 International w/ Flexjet question?

[Iam3rd]

Just curious to know what my flying is going to consist of......thats all.

 

[Iam3rd]

Does anyone know if Flexjet allowes pilots to do contract flying on their off time?

 

[DirtyBeech]

Yes, just get approval in writing from the chief pilot.

In the first week of your training, many of your questions get asked/answered. Not to discourage you from asking now, but just to let you know.

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 : )

Hey just leave me out of the truth. all it does is hurt.

 

[V1 Rotate]

Well, I'm in the LR45 class on April 5th.....where should I expect to fly mostly?

 

[Iam3rd]

V1
From the things I have read it will be all domestic, islands and a little Mexico.

 

[JATAGA]

I hear from class mates that the 300 sim is alittle tricky on V1 cuts... just a heads up.

as for the 45 (my fleet) Ive seen 19 states and been to Mexico twice in three rotations. Pay attention to the high hot and heavy day in sim because I've seen Aspen and Eagle about five times already,

Flexjet Fleet Growth in 2007?

What sort of growth will Flexjet see this year in terms of fleet? How many new CL300s, L40/L45XRs and L60XRs expected? Has the 604 fleet growth stopped or will you be adding the new 605?
