How's Life at Flexjet?

[On Your Six]

I have a classdate of 20 June (05) for the G-200. Can someone give me some straight poop:
1). Are we sriking within days of my arrival?
2). What if I am in training when we strike - do I finish training (I won't be a scab!)?
3). Anything else that might influence me from giving up my CRJ IP job at Independence Air to go to NJ?
Thanks

Wrong topic. Post these same questions in a new thread or on a NJ-specific thread. I hear the G200 is a nice aircraft...

I've been seeing those Lear 40s everywhere recently. I like the new paint scheme.

Given the increase in Lear 40/45s and CL300 deliveries, what's the likelihood that a newhire would actually start on the Lear 60 or the 604? Which aircraft types have recent newhire classes gone to?

And to think that I was about to jump in and defend my company. Nah!! I am perfectly happy here. Better here than across the street.

Who's across the street?

Heavy,

I believe they will start to hire into the 300 off the street. Most nehires will go to the 45/40. The last time we hired the mix was mostly 45/40, a few 60 and a few 604. It is stictly based on were the company needs people. That said those that have more time, types etc. tend to go into the 604 and 60 and probably the 300. There have been exceptions and it is always based on need at that time.

FlexJet Pilots:

Has there ever been a statement or internal memo as to why Bombardier choose not to place the Global Express into service with you guys? (or anyone for that matter)

I've always wondered about this.

Gex

Because the company was too stupid to figure it out...
I worked for Flex for 5 years flying the 604 and was there when the first GEX was being considered... Dell got the first one and the company screwed it up big time. So big infact, Dell left..... took his plane with him./

Yeah, a great company.

Wrong sporto-guess again.

Who's across the street?

maybe NetJets @ First Aviation Svcs...if we're talking TEB. Doesn't Flex use Hangar 16 @ TEB??

How do they pay at flexjet?

 

[broken spoke]

1) Well, I guess the "other fracs" are across the street, "wise one."

2) How do you want to get paid? Every other Thurs. Mailed to you or electronically deposited.

3) As far as hiring into a certain type, Vixin nailed it pretty eloquently.

PS. I think that Flex is a great place to work. Upgrade times and all the other gripes are about the same everywhere. You guys know that.

Good Luck and have fun, for cryin' out loud!!
