[On Your Six]

Latest from AIN Online:

"Cessna Aircraft announced today at the NBAA Convention that charter operator XOJET has placed a $600 million order for 30 Citation X business jets."

Anyone hear about Challenger 300s or will we need to wait for that information?

Revamped Website?

Looks like the XOJet website has been revamped recently too:

http://www.xojet.com/fleet.html

What is the story with them, browsing the website it's not quite clear if they are pure 135 or fractional.

Hi!

They have customers who own shares in a plane, and they have customers that charter, so it's a frac/charter hybrid.

They fly their own owners, their own charter customers, and they fly for NetJets, and possibly other fracs?

They are hiring.

I thought XOJet no longer flies Netjets flights. Is that true?

 

[doylehargraves]

Well, they also just ordered 80 Challenger 300's.

It was 20.

what is the deal with the bases? I saw them on the site, but is there any commuting allowed?

Its 20 300's with options for 60 more. Looks like Bombardier is going where the money is. Can any Flexjet guys elaborate why Bombardier is selling such a large order to the competition. I wouldnt have thought they would have done this. They should also sell the 300 to NJ then.

Bombardier is in the business of manufacturing train sets and airplanes. Their first goal is to sell aircraft, the Flexjet division could be much bigger but that would get in the way of delivering aircraft to outside customers. Even if a second assembly is opened for the 300 outside customers will still be given priority over FlexJet deliveries.

XOJet does NOT do any flying for NetJets.

No kidding! They also use to never sell to someone that would be direct competition with FlexJet. I wonder why the change of heart. And how does 20 planes to xojet not do the same thing. Just curious as to what is going on at FlexJet.

Our CP told us that Bombardier is to deliver 8 CL300 per year to Flex, till demand stops. We have 27 right now and they will keep coming with no restriction regardless of Bombardier outside A/C sales.

Also rumors are that BP5000/7000 may be on their
way sometime one the near future

Hi!

17/15 schedule if you want to be home based.

If you show up in base, it's something like 8/6. I don't know how close you have to live to a base.

That payscale is Flexjet. Does anyone have XO jet scales? Thanks

The company is working on a new pay package, but the current rates are:

Capt: 450 per day x 205 (9/7 schedule)= 92,250

SIC: 250 per day x 205 (9/7 schedule) = 51,250

note: the 17/15 schedule works out to 194 days, but is paid at 205 day base.

We'll post the new package when we get it.
