All of the flex jet a/c minus some of the lears re being moved over to the flight options certificate. The company is pushing the union to file for single carrtier status.

For the record this has been a "done deal" since last year, at least that's what the FLOPS and Flex guys have been saying. Not saying it's not possible, likely or inevitable but to say the deal is complete is conjecture. Anyone that knows enough to say it's complete has signed NDA's and would never allude to it.

I wouldn't call it "merging" the lists. Stay tuned and if the rumor mill is correct, you'll see what I mean.

Guess there hasn't been much to report? Seems this thread died on the vine a couple months ago. Any current hiring trends?

It's crazy busy here and all the high ups recognize the need for more pilots. However, I haven't heard where all the FLOPs guys stand as far as jumping ship over here.

Would be interesting to know how many furloughed Options guys have yet to be contacted. I am in that crowd, furloughed as a Beechjet SIC, and have been flying 91 as a Hawker PIC.

Last I heard 2-3 months ago was 100 of 186 had been called (assuming their contact info was still accurate) with only 5-6 accepting a job offer.

I accepted the job in January this year expecting to go to training by march. Then the lear 60's were parked and guys within the company had to be retrained. That put me on the backburner until maybe this fall if they accept aircraft deliveries. Trying to keep the faith.
