Net Vs Flex

[EGLFO4LIFE]

Currently I have a standing offer with both of these companies, and I am wondering if Netjets financial losses and talk of Buffet's successor being named should make me look a little stronger at Flex. Flex has some great people and aircraft, but I am very attracted to the benefits, compensation and work rules of NJ(who also has some great folks and aircraft). Comments would be appreciated.

Is this flamebait?

Sounds like an honest question to me.

 

[EGLFO4LIFE]

Real question. Sorry if it sounds ridiculous. I thought I had a great deal when I hired onto my current position and I was wrong, so I am really looking at everything very closely with this move. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

It sounds like you have looked closely at NJA's financial status, but I question if you have looked closely at Bombardier's financial status?

Has flex EVER MADE A DAMN PENNY? I think not. Did you also read the line in uncle warrens letter that said that netjets fleet was worth more than all the other fractionals combined?

 

[EGLFO4LIFE]

I see what you are saying. They supposedly posted a modest profit this past year for whatever that's worth. I can't find any actual figures. In all honesty my decision is already made. I've spent the past three months doing all I can to get hired at NJ. I'm just looking once more before I leap.

I used to work in sales for the Bombardier Business Aircraft Division. It isn't as big of a deal for Flexjet to turn a profit vs. NetJets and the other Fracs because Flexjet is a virtual marketing tool for the sale of Bombardier airplanes. We sold many whole airplanes to Flexjet clients who could afford it or who flew too many hours per year for fractional to be cost effective.

So then the next question should be: How well is Bombardier itself doing?
