Watch and you can see how the "day to day" life is.

From my perspective, FE is a small company trying to grow into big shoes, however your dispatch will come via email showing your repo or live legs and your trip sheets will also come via email so they are clearly still barebones.

You will do your own FRATS, flight planning, weight and balance, running to the store to buy a lime for the pax, etc, etc....and you will do all of that on your off time.

Your stock will consider of getting to a stock locker (literally a locker with a lock on it at a few airports) and grabbing whatever you need or running to Target to buy the purple bag of Lays potato chips "multipack".

I dont think I ever experienced any "FBO rot" and they were very good about releasing us to the hotel (oh you haveto book that yourself) when we were done for the day. Never, if ever, "hot spare", etc.

Management is supporting and I hardly ever got any pushback from CP or DO. HOWEVER, you can expect to feel a slight pressure to always get it done because it might be a "top customer".

If you need to get some 135 experience or knock some rust off, it is a decent place to go for maybe a year to get experience under your belt.

Good luck
