I am In class for oct 28 not sure what fleet, but it will be one of the challenger fleets. My question is how much international flying does the 300 do compared to the 604/605. Also the interview info is spot on.

Congrats, when did you interview ? So do they always make the offer before you leave the interview ? I've been speaking to Flex guys on the road trying to gather as much intel as possible before the interview, I hear the 300 does go to Europe a bit but not as much as the 600's.

Best of luck

Interview was sept 20 th got the call a few days later with a class date of the 28th.

Is that Oct 28?

Yes that is correct, oct 28th

Was just checking the website and noticed that they re-listed the First Officer position on 1 Oct. I am hoping that would indicate that they are still hiring and have not filled all the slots. Any thoughts? Fingers crossed.

Not sure how many more we plan to hire this year but I've heard as many as 40 for next year.

Interviewed yesterday, pretty much as previously stated, we got the 45XR sim, instructor sat right seat and ran checks, set everything up. Was a fun little plane just watch ur speed and configurations. Everyone there was awesome and they seemed very genuine, just a cool group of people. They are very serious about living 1.5 hrs from domiciles which are:

DFW, North FLL, South FLL, EWR, HPN, DEN, LA, SNA

Otherwise just a great experience, they want to get to know you and want to make sure you're a good fit for them and vice versa. Hoping to hear back soon. Oh and they did feed us lunch :o)

I wouldn't worry too much about living with 1.5 hours of base. I've been commuting over 4 hours for seven years now and it's never been an issue. Many others here have been commuting much longer than I. Just show up to work on time and they could care less. The 1.5 hours stems from the call out time for a trip if you happen to be on home reserve on day 1 of the rotation. Don't base your decision to come to work here based on whatever they told you about that. Otherwise, the atmosphere that you described at the interview is spot on to the culture around here.

Gotcha, I just brought it up because they made a big deal of it saying it was an issue with some people that do just that. I live close to the NY bases anyway so it's not an issue for me .... I think everyone there lived close to one of the domiciles so that might be influencing who they interview also ...
