I've spoken with Heather and she's awesome. But her hands are tied. Nobody knows why this is happening but they agree that it will delay furloughed pilots from finding work. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be in the hiring pool, but a guy can tread water just so long.

Do you know what you are talking about? The ceo and most upper management are Flex jet folks. I personally don't think any pilots from FO would accept a postion where their pay was frozen and then they are stapled to the bottom of a seniority list. That list is how the schedule is bid and upgrades are determined so they would be junior to even the most recently hired! That would just be stupid!
This should raise a huge red flag to the flexjet pilots about the dangers of an at will company! Do you think Kenn would hesitate to put all pilots on the street if NJ offerred to buy him out so they could bring back all if their furloughed?

You are right. KR would do that. One reason I liked working for him was that he's a ruthless businessman. The problem is that sometimes he turns his sword toward his own. I've watched it for 15 years. As far as flops guys go I'd say some near the bottom of the list will jump over to Flex. Maybe enough to keep those of us in the hiring pool from getting on for another year or two. Right now I'm thinking maybe there are better companies to work for. Thoroughly disgusted.

AND yes the ceo and most management are flex BUT flex was a great company not so long ago. This is KR union busting. He's screwing the rep of one good company to kill off the union at another company. I am just collateral damage.
