You’re not wrong on either count. The new pay scale is nice, but the lack of addressing the #1 topic from the pilot group (FDP/Bonus structure) and delayed implementation of the pay scale will do absolutely nothing to stem the tide of departures nor will it help us remain competitive in hiring. The material from management said they were focused on making our base pay higher than the competition which they did, but it’s a useless metric when you take into consideration the total compensation packages. There’s still no arguing that FX is lagging behind QS, let alone the majors.

Don’t get me wrong, Flexjet is a very good place to work, and the compensation is better than most, but in this market those than can go elsewhere will, and this won’t change that a bit.
