What do you know about Flight Express?

True... Not a bad contract considering many others require cash out of your pocket.

I worked for Flight Express for 2 years and can say that I had a great time, great experience. A good run can pay more than any prop operator out there, 36k a year, granted you'll work long hours though. If I were you I would send a app. out to all the 135 freight companies and see who responds, they are all the same with little differences here and there, its just a time building job so don't waste to much time trying to decide which one is best, just get it done and move on. Good luck.

You crack me up.....are you in line for the next assistant cheif pilot position or what? You always take any comment and make it out as someone trying to trash Airnet....hey, its not to bad of a place but there are better places out there...you will realize that down the line.

Actually I am not in line for the next ACP position. And if there are better places out there, why don't you quit and go there.

All I can say is I flew at Flight express, started there 11 years ago. I flew there for 2 years and had a great time. The experience was great, the 210 is awsome, and the baron is even better. It makes you a good pilot. I left there and flew for 2 regional for the last 9 years, and am starting with UPS on Monday. Long story short, up till now, the most fun I had flying was at Flight Express. Good luck hope this helps, I still say hi to the EXR guys when I hear them on the radio.

... and if you complete training you get $1000 so what's the problem? The $300 is to cover peple who walk out on the training. It costs money and they're only trying to recover a portion of it.

oh so its a 700 dollar bonus??LMFAO

You make the call!

Attention any and all potential 135 pilots.

As you know there are alot of great 135 operators out there. I suggest you do the research and make an informed decision. Each has it's perks and draw-backs. If you are a pilot looking to add hours, you cannot beat 135 PIC time. That is probably the only thing the various operators have in common. As a pilot, I would rather have a sign on bonus of ten bucks as opposed to an employment contract of "x" amount of months. That's just me. Again, search the 135 operators and make your own personal call. Flight Express is not the place for every pilot out there.

We are hiring at an amazing rate, just like everybody. I welcome all inquires from interested applicants. Once you have visited our site, www.flightexpress.com , I would then try to speak with one of our line pilots. They do their job everyday and may have similiar, or different opinions from those other pilots who don't work here. I would rather hear it from the horse's mouth rather than the horse's @ss. LMFAO!!!

You have to be kidding me

Grow up...So many people walk through the door with promises to stay, yet they take the training and leave. Think about it. A company supplies you with excellent 135 training and 6 hours of free flight time without a contract and you just leave shortly after thus screwing everyone. I don't know about you, but that is not smart business sense, and maybe you need to work somewhere else that will bend over backwards to let you screw them. Heck, maybe they should pay you $1,000 bonus just for walking in the door and gracing them with your presence...

Besides if you do your research, this company will PAY you from day one of training. That amounts to well over $300 for just the training portion. After the intial checkride a check is sent your way for $1000, and the only stipulation is for you to stay 6 months. Don't stick around for 6 months and your only obligation is to pay that money back. Pretty simple if you ask me.

Yes, exactly. It's a repayment of the $300 training cost plus $700 to help with your relocation costs. And the problem is what? You may keep laughing (i.e. LMFAO) while flying your single engine propeller as FLX pilots go onto the fractionals, regionals and many other jet cargo, charter and corporate positions.
