Any major airline (including some of the currently lower paying airlines like Spirit, JB and Frontier) would be better options. Again, the pay and QOL differences are just too big to ignore... A friend who just left Netjets for SWA says the QOL is like night and day different.

Most of the current Phenom pilots came from larger ac. They were forced to it basically out of seniority as in if they went to the Flexjet side they were stapled to the bottom of their list. Now that the arbitrator has ruled the fences have come down and you can bid in seniority to all ac. So the company wasted huge amounts of money and now have to retrain tons of folks, some of who finished training in the Phenom and never even flew it! They just started school on a new type.

Money-
I made a little over $42,000 and worked harder than I’ve ever worked in my flying career but that’s just me.
Good 401k, match to 6% I believe. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Insurance is supposed to be awesome but it seems to be the typical insurance company doesn’t want to pay out kind of thing.
We use Concur which really stinks and you spend lots and lots of time filling and refilling out reports.

Duty-
You are sent your duty off/on (for when/where you are supposed to duty back on the next morning during your last flight of the night. Your rest starts 30 minutes after you block in. You arrange your own transportation. Uber is the authorized mode of transportation.
A good hour, hour and a half are spent in putting plane to bed, waiting for transportation, checking into hotel, finding a place to eat, getting ready for the next 14 hour duty day and finally getting some sleep.

I think many of you are out of touch. Many regional airlines now offer better quality of life and pay than FlexJet. It sounds terrible, I don’t know why anyone would work there. You can make more at Endeavor as a Captain plus if you commute and miss your first flight, they will positive space you on the 2nd flight.

I don't know what kind of agenda your trying to push, but you didn't make $42,000 working for Flexjet. Working 16 days a month is $59K to $64K depending if your talking per month or 28 day bid. Plus fuel bonus and per diem.

Fuel bonus and per diem aren't income partner.

Mikec

It's not. If your not going to spend it please send it my way and I'll add it to my income partner.

How is a bonus not income?

A very accurate description of what it is like at Flexjet.

Having 18+ years at Flex I can say he nailed it.
Now that I see it in print nicely laid out I will be updating my resume and sending out some job applications. Now is the time to get out.
