Most of which could still be getting paid with benefits had the union not screwed them out of the VSP. Since teamsters didn't get to act like they were the ones who came up with the package they said no deal. I'm sure the pilots who wanted a years pay instead of 8 weeks of pay appreciates that.

AFAIK.....
The carriers are still separate certificates and the Flex side without a doubt needs additional pilots. The FLOPS side is "overstaffed".
The Globals are adding an additional pilot to each airframe soon, so creates a few openings.

Did the union and company work it together or did the union bring it to the company and say "here you go!"

Flexjet formed a sli committee and so did fo. Then they both worked very hard to come up with a list that was as fair as could be. When KR moved fo pilots over to flex he placed them at the bottom of their list now they have two seniority list numbers. He also made them captains on Gulfstream's and Challenger's thereby buying no votes for the Union vote. The joint committee decided to use longevity with your prospective company in merging the two lists. They also made a provision for those pilots to choose which list they wanted to use. The judge found it to be fair and even stated in his brief that it was surprising that the Flex pilots made out slightly better than the FO pilots. However if the company accepted it it started a 9 month clock towards a joint CBA. After that it goes to arbitration.

They may be fat on pilots. It might be a demand thing. But, I've talked to a few that think they are short because airplanes aren't flying.
This is all hangar talk, so take it for what it is worth. Fly the line. Head to the lake. Leave it behind.

Legacy 450 & 500
What's the word on the Legacy 450/500 so far at Flexjet? Pilots liking it? Pax liking it compared to other fleet types? How many more expected?
I saw one of your 500s recently at MDW - very nice ramp presence!

FlexJet vs. Airlines?
Best route to FlexJet? College is a must for me. Any out of college deals to FlexJet?
Which airframe/base are new hires getting?
Hotel/rental car paid on overnights?
ATP paid for? No R-ATP?
If aircraft A is given...how can I get to aircraft B?
First Officer to Captain upgrade?
Career progression is quick?
