There is one big question that I have about the hiring surge that is about to happen with the Majors. How many people at an organization like FlexJet have their applications in and will drop 2 weeks’ notice as soon as a call comes? Calls are going out for Delta and Southwest, United has been hiring for months now, and American sounds like they will start taking apps next week. So a lot of people are going to have the chance to go work for these companies in the coming months.
I will begin by stating that I have my apps in with all these companies and would surely not say no if they called me first, but I really want the Fractional life I think. So my question is, how many do you think a company like FlexJet might lose in the coming surge at the Majors? I know that most Captains will not go, but what about FO’s? What I am hoping for is that as these guys get hired it will open up more slots for me at FlexJet.
