Ricci told AIN that Flexjet LLC will operate separately from Flight Options, with the former being a luxury “bespoke” fractional provider flying newer aircraft less than five years old while the latter will be the “value” fractional with a fleet of mostly pre-owned or remanufactured jets.

Latest: common HR, sales and legal. I now have no doubt that the NMB will rule us a single carrier.

Wasn't Flexjet giving preferential interviews to Flight Options furloughees. Someone said only a couple had gotten hired out of the 150 or so interviews.

Yes, they were calling everyone on that list. I think most guys have moved on, but they did interview and hire 3 or 4 ex options.

Most Options guys turned down the flex job, because they had to move to the Flex crew bases.

I think I'd commute or move. Whatever it takes. Why kill the goose that laid the golden egg?

watch out for the whipsaw, the new FO CEO is a sly and creative manager and if he will push his other suppliers hard, we should expect him to do the same to the pilots
