More FlexJet Questions

[Art Vandalay]

I am thinking of applying, but have a few questions that I haven't seen on the board. First, what is the percentage that you actually fly vs airline out of Dallas? I would like to find a convenient place to live, so I don't want to live right next to DFW if I don't have to. Which airport do you use more, DAL, ADS, etc?

Does FlexJet pay for your first class medical? Which doctor do all the FlexJet pilots use?

Diner's Club: Do you guys pay for their rewards system, or do you even use it? Also, do you seem to rack up the frequent flyer miles? American, Southwest, etc?

I appreciate any help guys. I did a search, but couldn't find any recent information on these topics.

Take Care,

Art V.

I'm not sure about the DFW issue ask me in a month once I am based there, I do know you can get a lot of house for very little thats why I am moving there.

For an AME everyone uses different guys and they sorta pay for your med. each year, at least one of them. Before everyone jumps on that on, they pay incentives into your flex spending account if you have one on your med. insurance, and you participate in the health assessment that they do. That normally pays for one of my med. each year.

With the company card you can pay for the reward program they have but I don't think it that good pf a program so don't waste your money. Get another card with a program you like and you get a lot more.

As for frequent flier miles you can rack them up quickly, same with hotel points. After one year the only thing I paid for, for a week vacation was food and the tax on my rental car everything else was points.

If you have any other questions feel free to PM me.

You're right, but I have been around flightinfo since 2004, him since 2005. Maybe he can chime in if he still works there.

Have you been to the DFW area? Unlike most large hub airport cities, most of the cities surrounding DFW airport are actually quite nice.

I have. What i said probably didn't sound right. I was basically trying to say that I wasn't limited to just the areas around the DFW airport. I definitely would consider that area if it works out. Would it be better to be closer to Addison or Love fields, or DFW?

what has KP been telling folks in the interviews as far as upgrade times lately? Thanks.

Four years is what they quote...I guess the most JR captain is around 2.5 years?

I seem to airline out of DFW about 70% of the time. After that it's 20% pick up the plane at ADS, and 10% pick it up at Love.

do the current salaries on www.airlinepilotcentral.com include the 3% raise you guys got?
