Who will be the Flexjet 4?

[DUATS]

At least four is better than nothing!

 

[XBI]

Hey, ...... It's a start ! Keep the ball rolling.

 

[FMR8251]

I'll be one of them...if about 78 bypass.

 

[hammer2]

I'll be one of them...if about 78 bypass.

Would you come back?

 

[DUATS]

I'll be one of them...if about 78 bypass.

I'm not quite that far down....somewhere in the mid 20's I think.

And I will not be bypassing.

 

[OPECJet]

Four recalls? That's a step in the right direction if so!

 

[fugazi]

it's great that we are recalling..but, I am pissed that they're not going to put bids out for those challenger slots. For FO's that have been in the same equipment for 5 years that's total b.s! I'm just saying...

If you had a CBA there would be no need to ask this question.

 

[doh]

If you had a CBA there would be no need to ask this question.

Is that question? I thought it was a statement. But of course, you know better...

 

[Helmsalee]

With a CBA, these would be recalls instead of interviews. Question, will the 4 be new hires or will they get credit for their prior service for pay, etc?

Good question. But the followup question is this: would it make any difference in the pilot's decision to return?

 

[Hung Start]

Hmmm, let's see;

1) I come back and with the pay increases already established, I am getting more than I left at.
2) I didn't contribute to the retirement while I was gone, the money is still there, so I just pick up where I left off.
3) With the retirements and people that left, my seniority number will be lower (higher?) than when I left. Of course, a lot fewer behind me.
4) Don't know about vacation, but they paid off all the unused time when I left, so not a deal anyway.

Yes,, I'll head back

[GooseHZ]

If it wasn't a question........why is there a question mark at the end of the QUESTION? So yes on the question about this question I do know better. Doh......

My sentiments exactly. So how close are you to the top?

"At least four is better than nothing" was what you quoted. That is a statement, not a question...

 

[GooseHZ]

Doh
I believe we where both taking about a different post. Soooo we both do know better..lol

 

[Hung Start]

I will not be in the original group, but close enough to make sure my stuff is in order for a 30 day training session!

[warlord19]

He doesn't seem to be able to follow his own statements, Mr. doh. Anyways, 4 guys off the street is good....all that want to come back will be grand.

I don't see that happening. Why would the company pay for a new type rating for you and a new hire, instead of just paying for a new hire.

No need to get upset. I am within the top 4 and I am differing my class due to my current contract terms. You can have my slot for now. But I WILL be back for it!!...

 

[Club ORD FO]

Are they allowing you to pass and take a later slot?

 

[dbman]

FWIW I hear there are soon to be several left seat slots open too. A few voluntary, a few not so much... You're kidding yourself if you don't think they'll eventually find one willing to do their bidding. I feel sorry for anyone going through the TC next couple of weeks. I'd be wracked as hell just in case the trend continues if ya know what I mean.

Where did you get this information?

 

[CL300Pilot]

I have been to 4 rodeos and 3 hog callings and I ain't never heard anything like is.

 

[warlord19]

Like the fellow(dbman) said, take it FWIW, which means it's groundless and made up. And only 4 rodeos, CL300P??

 

[doh]

The in involuntaries are the guys with medical issues, the voluntaries are just ready to hang it up. They aren't out to hang anyone in the training department. Give it a rest already. Your momma didn't raise you to be such a f'n tool.

 

[johnnyride24]

Heard from a Lear crew that you have to re-interview, sim ride, and take a psychiatric evaluation test to get re-hired.
And re-start as a new hire at year one.
any truth?
I thought you had re-call rights at Flex based on seniority and days of service......

 

[DUATS]

Just heard three of the top five were interviewed last week.

 

[GooseHZ]

Yeah.......no need for a CBA at flex......move on nothing to see here......

 

[Nolife]

Is Flex done for the year as far as re-hires? Looks like they got ten back for the busy season.
