Flex New Hire Pay
 

I'm a Flex candidate and very interested in the company, but haven't been able to find a solid ballpark guess for pay. I have the Flex candidate brochure which includes pay rates, per diem, and bonuses but I'm looking for a bit more granularity. In no way do I think a Year 1 pilot will come anywhere close to the 'up to 175k' number printed in the glossy brochure, so what is a more realistic range for a pilot who basically works their line. My intent would be to get on a DRL team at the earliest opportunity so I'm looking for a rough number prior to then (I assume about 18-24 months to get on a DRL team). Also, I'm talking straight pay since I am familiar with the other compensation benefits such as 401(k), medical, dental, etc. TIA

150k easily, not including 18K deferred comp or 401K contributions. Made that working 15 days (14.6 average) a month and 1/4 of the year was at old pay scale (which was daily rate that was $250 a day lower).With the current payscale would be 160K or more

Thanks Mi, I appreciate you taking the time to answer. Hope to see you there soon.

Hope to see you out on the line.

Sounds about right, mimark. I think I made $150k after the pay raise but, Flexbid gave me a couple unsolicited 10-14 day breaks in the summer and early fall last year. Not that I'm complaining. Lol

Hola, I’m starting with FlexJet in late May. How does pay work for training? Is it the same rate that was quoted in the company presentation - 751 and 42 per diem? Curious if there is a lower rate until completion. Thanks!!

Training Pay
 

When you received your offer letter, it should have been listed there and it is paid twice a month.

found it, thanks!

Normal first year FO pay rate.

And training pay is a fixed number of days per month until you finish IOE, regardless of how many you actually work. I forget exactly how many. I believe it's around 16.25

So if you end up sitting at home for a few weeks waiting for a training or IOE slot, you're still getting a salary (but not per-diem).
