New Info on FlexJet

[NewGUYII]

Hey,

I was wondering if anybody has any new info on the Interview At FlexJet. Did a search but it is pretty old.

Peace out.

 

[doylehargraves]

Hey, here's how the interview will go:

"Mr. X, give me your hand." "Ok, pulse is there, you're hired." "Now,sign this training agreement quickly!"

In all seriousness, good luck with your interview bro. I hope you have considered Netjets first. For long-term I would stick with NJA, it's an overall better place. Flex ain't that bad but, it ain't that good either.

This is why no one takes this board seriously, responses like this.

It's a straight forward interview, very laid back. Sim check, then interview with one of the asst. chiefs and a written test. Don't try to be someone your not, they'll see through that. In the end, make an informed decision regardless of where you end up. Good luck.

Any chance that Flex will ever go to the 7 on 7 off schedule?

 

[JettBoii]

mmmmmmmm....biscuts an mustard.......
i aim to kill ya...........

 

[doh]

I would love it if we did! But I don't have a clue if we will.

 

[el raton]

Give Flex a chance. You will get enough experience, that NJ will love to hire you. We are losing F.O.s to them.

 

[holdmybeer]

I have an interview on the 8th any suggestions?

 

[CL300Pilot]

Just be yourself. They will see right through anyone who tries to BS them. Like with any job, some people love it and some hate it. Personally, it is one of the best jobs I have had. If you are chasing the almighty dollar, don't come to flex. I imagine that NJA will always pay more than us. They are very conservative on expansion. We do have alot of FO's leaving, but they are all relatively new hires from Indy Air.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Any clue as to where these guys are going? NetJets?

 

[CL300Pilot]

No idea.

 

[300pilot]

Several have left to other 135 positions getting hired on as captains. These are people who seek short term money and not long term stability. Flexjet is an excellent place to work...an excellent product and Great guys/gals to work with. Notice you don't see pilots from Flexjet bashing NJ, but see plenty of NJ pilots bashing other fractionals?? Take it for what it's worth.. a job is a job.... go to NJ and make the best of it and you will be happy. Come to Flexjet and do the same.... bottom line is they are both jobs and one will never be 100% happy. Go into either with a positive attitude!! Good Luck

 

[DirtyBeech]

Very straightforward interview. The gouges on aviationinterviews are right on. There's a getting to know you interview with an acp, a written exam, and a sim check. Be yourself and be informed. They're very up fron with you. The written is pretty basic. 30 questions multiple choice. If you don't pass it then please turn in your certificates. The sim check is just as straight forward. Fly the plane, use the abbreviated checklist, and use and listen to your F.O.

What about the training contract? Does the company go after them for the money?

Without a doubt!

they do? i had not heard that from anybody that left. you sure?

 

[frac pilot]

they do? i had not heard that from anybody that left. you sure.

It's prorated for two years, your initial type. Leave within two years and they"ll go after it.

and your proof is...

 

[ksu_aviator]

The proof is that it is a legally binding contract and they are well with in their rights to pursue compensation for breaking the contract. Whether they do or don't is up to you. Outstanding crew members that leave on good terms have a better chance of negotiating a new agreement than a disgruntled employee.

BTW...if you go to a company knowing you will break the contract, then you have some moral issues to work out.

 

[LAZYB]

KSU huh? You need to read for comprehension.

Leave within two years and they"ll go after it.

The question is not, can they, but do they?

...and I take it you have a degree in jurisprudence. Labor laws vary in the different states. A legally binding contract cannot be construed by a "implied promise" to "do something" that is in contradistinction to the state law of the employees residence.

But hey, thanks for playing. You didn't provide any objective input, but you were able to promote your "beliefs". What do we have for him Johnny?

 

[mannyaplus11]

I left on good terms, they did not come after me.

 

[RLAblows]

What is the typical schedule?
Starting pay?

Does anyone have the answer to this question?

 

[rumrnr78]

First month off IOE working 6 on 4 off. Still getting the base with a little Per Diem thrown in. After deductions and Uncie Sam's reach around about 1120 every 2 weeks. I use higher deductions due to our tax situation so it might be on the high side.
So far no complaints, great people to work with and I even enjoy talking to scheduling (ok, I might be pushing that one).

Cheers- Rum

 

[Club ORD FO]

I am in the 60.... I got 14 day lines right out of IOE, everthing from 4 day trips to 6 day trips. I usually manage to get a stretch of 6 or 7 days off each month. Overall I'd say the schedules are pretty good. I don't always get the day off I ask for but I get the length of trip I ask for.

Pay wise, if I work the absolute minimum (a 14 day line) I get right around $1000 every two weeks after all the deductions, plus per diem.

Well "do they" is the wrong question and "can they" is the right question. If you learned to "read for comprehension" you would see that I answer the "do they" question while providing some perspective as to when they "do."

By the way, there is no "implied promise." They have a written, signed and notarized contract. No court has ever held a training contract to be invalid due to Constitutional, federal, state or local laws. Lastly, I have consulted (in the past) with a lawyer about training contracts and she gave me all of the information I have given you.

Now, who is promoting beliefs here? I gave absolute facts, if you think they are just beliefs and thus are fallable, why don't you post some information to disprove what I have stated?

Here is your goal:

1. Prove that a training contract at Flex Jet is not signed and notaraized;

2. Prove that a court has held that a training contract similar to Flex Jet's was held to be unConstitutional or in violation of federal, state, or local laws;

3. Prove tht Flex Jet never attempts to collect on training contracts.

Your move.

PS....If anyone is planning on signing a contract with the intent of violating that contracting...do some soul searching or go sell used cars.

 

[doylehargraves]

The training contract at flexjet is NOT notarized.

P.S. I'm sorry you attended KSU.

 

[LAZYB]

Well "do they" is the wrong question and "can they" is the right question. (The question is not what you want it to be, but what was asked) If you learned to "read for comprehension" you would see that I answer the "do they" questio
n while providing some perspective as to when they "do."

By the way, there is no "implied promise." They have a written, signed and notarized contract. No court has ever (hmmm, Forget the training contract its illegal...) held a training contract to be invalid due to Constitutional, federal, state or local laws. Lastly, I have consulted (in the past) with a lawyer about training contracts and she gave me all of the information I have given you.

Now, who is promoting beliefs here? I gave absolute facts, if you think they are just beliefs and thus are fallable, why don't you post some information to disprove what I have stated?

Nah, don't have time to do all your work. CA DOL

AND the question is - "do they?".
