Curious as to your flying experience and when you were hired.

Same here.

Charter and Regional, within the last two years on how long I’ve been here.

What does Ricci kool-aid taste like?

NJ ain’t perfect by a long shot. But Kenn is enshrined forever in the pantheon of truly heinous bosses.

You’ll learn soon enough young padawan.

First of all, just like everywhere else I’ve researched on APC most of the negativity comes from just a couple people that may or may not have multiple usernames and post over and over.

Pick any company on this site, even Legacy’s, there’s always a few sad people that just keep complaining and complaining.

I came here despite all of the negative reviews with the above in mind and the majority of it is complete BS.

I’m at the bottom of the seniority list and get 14-16 days off per month, and rather than spending that time on here bad mouthing the company I spend that time enjoying life like the majority of the other FJ pilots.

In my opinion this is an excellent place to fly with good equipment, good pay and a great quality of life.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I will remind you of a few inconvenient facts.
There still are Phenom 300 First Officers that were hired in 2001 that have not Had the chance to upgrade to Captain. For them to move to the right seat of a larger plane, prior to the fences coming down, they would have had to give up their collective bargaining rights and returned to an at-will employee.
I also want more time off too. I have over 300 hours in my PTO bank and they won't give me more than one vacation per year. Sad.

Looks like hired in Jan 2018 and started flying 3 years ago. . :eek: yeah, that’s a good source of “reality.” 23 years old?

The thing is, management got the list of pilots who sent in cards from frank. So there's a naughty and nice list. He may be doing this under duress...

BlackPaw you were hired in January. Three months ago. I’m glad you like it here so far but you would barely be out of training (if at all? I hear the wait for IOE is lengthly). You would not yet have a good idea of the schedules you can hold.

Wow, Kenn has his lackeys recruiting HERE for pilots dumb enough to join his slave ship.

Run, quickly, in the other direction. There are better jobs out there. Even NutJets is a better choice than the dumpster fire at Flex.

In my opinion, anyway.

We have had great success with pilots who came from this forum. I guess we feel that all pilots are not "dumb" as you suggest. Thank you for the insight though.
