VERY good insurance for a family is $199/mo (not sure about NJ), upgrade to CA is 8 months (vs. YEARS for NJ). I havent been at FLEX long, but long enough to know I am treated well!
Just for clarification if you are saying at NJ starting pay minus bonuses is under $75k that isn’t true. Starting pay is at training pay which is $86k. After IOE you can switch to a 7/7 schedule that pays less. Training pay is CC72 which is a schedule more close to a schedule you will work at flexjet. As far as insurance there is no cost starting at day 1.
As for as how you have been treated at flexjet. Were you at flexjet at the beginning of Covid when they cut all bases down to 9? Were you there when they cut everyone’s schedule and gave them IOU’s for pay? None of those things happened at Netjets. Things are not great at Netjets right now but we do still have a union and are fighting for better quality of life and pay.
