You guys need to stop trying to tank this company. I am in IRL and I love it, but it’s not for everyone. Yes, I have to occasionally extend a day and that’s because we don’t overlap our schedule. I’ll maintain that flexibility any day to work 7/7 vs 8/6.
I work fewer days than I used to in the traditional fractional fleet.

You tanked yourselves. That new seniority list ought to be a quality body blow when it’s released.
And yes, the average domestic RL CA isn’t gong to be extended twice a month, but it’s yet another arbitrary loss without recourse to the Flex QOL, and you asked for it.

you mean not get assigned the phenom in new hire class? I don't think there is a way to guarantee you'll get one type or another. Looking at the last seniority list, recent new hires have gone into the Phenom, Challenger, Lear, and Legacy. It's been a mix.

Dont let them bluff you into taking a Phenom slot.
They need crews so bad right now that they will accommodate you.
Been there done that

That's crazy. I was just contuning the thread. I asked the same question on the NJ side.

Just for general discussion and having never flown the Phenom, is it that bad of an airplane? Again I've never flown one. Not trying to incite a riot or anything. Just asking for me.

It's good at what it is. That being an entry level jet. Very small, slow, flies a long way, no TR’s, single brakes and an interesting braking computer program and cheap.
NJ’s puts a size limitation on flying the thing. It looks good on the ramp, and highly cost sensitive (read cheap) owners are satisfied seeing leather seats and wood paneling. But it’s often referred to as the Lego jet, Phenis or Peon.
It has a bigger bax compartment than the Lear, is cheaper and can fly farther, but it’s so slow the Lear can generally do a fuel stop and still beat it to destination on a long leg.
I wouldn’t want to spend the next 10-15 years in the right seat of one.
