What Flex is offering FO furloughees

[gutshotdraw]

First year pay at Flexjet is around $64k based on a 16 schedule. With hourly OT and per diem that would come up to around $70k. A sixth year FO on seventh year pay that I know made $98k, including OT, bonus and per diem, doing mostly 16 days with an occasional 17 schedule.

!!!!AAARRRGGGGGG!!!!!!

Per diem is NOT part of your COMPENSATION!!!!! STOP including it in your calculations to come up with how much you'll "make" at Flex, or Options, or wherever!

Jeez!

Look, I get it, but at the end of the year it's on my W2 and I used that money to live on. I rarely, if ever, spend the entire daily per diem amount so I end up making money with it. That's why I consider it. Just depends on how you look at it.

I'm guessing you consider time in a hotel vacation time ?

Supposedly calling in order but, calling has stopped pending the Jan 28 conference call and staffing plan announcements.

Most FLOPs guys aren't interested because of the pay, moving to a base, or starting over at the bottom.

Kind of confused about the pay. Is Flexjet pay less than FLOPS pay? I have always been under the impression that our pay was higher than yours. Is that not the case? My source is APC, and I know they have some lag time and inaccuracies.

By my math, and correct me if I'm wrong, I think FO does 8/7's. That comes out to around 192 days per year. At their 7th year rate, that's around $307/day. Our 7th year pay is $402. Typically, we work 195-208 days per year.

The pay I was referring to was the amount they make at their current jobs, not a comparison of FLOPs/Flex pay rates.
