Latest at Flexjet?

I'll take credit for starting it. Thank you very much.

Anything new?

 

[johnnyride24]

Heard you flex pilots are getting 15 new bases.

 

[netjetwife]

That would be nice for Flex families. I'll keep my fingers crossed ...

 

[hammer2]

Lubbock, Souix falls, Lincoln, Hickory, Pellston, Marshall, Imperial, and ManHattan are a few of the new bases.

Lubbock...Texas? I grew up in the Texas panhandle. Nice people, but the only scenic attraction is Palo Duro Canyon, IMO. Of course, if a pilot has family in the area and wants to be in that location it will work out and there's Texas Tech when the kids need to go to college.

It's a given that there should be a balance between company needs and those of the pilotgroup; I don't know how Flex went about choosing the bases but I do hope that some on the list will appeal to pilots interested in moving. Either way, it's nice to have more choices... Good luck to the Flex families, NJW

I think he was kidding.

Regardless of what locations are on the final list, my thoughts about the process remain the same and so do my hopes that the Flex pilotgroup will benefit from having more choices.

Over at Avantair, we're about to add Rangely, Vermillion, McCall, Sun Valley, Traverse City, and Yuma.

I love Vermillion at this time of the year.......

 

[netjetwife]

Congrats to the Avantair pilots and families!

Avantair..ha, I guess they have the big pee pees on the block now?! WTF is the world coming to!! The good news it that NJA is quiet now!

 

[wacoflyr]

Not much point behind humor around here, I see....

Given the avatar(s), I must confess that I get half-a-stalk every time I see NJW posting. Reminds me of when I met Derinda...

Hijack away.

Meanwhile back at Flexjet, 85 anxious pilots look for signs of life......

-No recalls planned.

-They say that they don't want to increase the yield.

-There's no real explanation as to how we're covering peak this year.

 

[Nolife]

You guys are going to be busy. Call me if you need contract guys.

Same way they're doing it now. 13-14 hour day, 10 hours rest. Rinse and repeat as necessary until end of rotation. Thank you sir, may I have another!

Ohhh, so you just want to jump ahead of everybody else on the list.

Nice. :uzi:
