How many new pilots have been hired at Flexjet since the AIN article claiming 50% growth? New hires, chime in with your class date and number of classmates who finished and are on line please! Enquiring minds want to know! The article was end of May/beginning of June. How many of you have class dates? In other words, how much of this hiring rumor is typical management BS, and how much is actual delivery of their promises?

Look at both the Options and Flexjet pages on this site. The bases are the same for both sides now I believe. As for pay, you need to remember this is a "merged" CBA based on the Options contract, not a new JCBA. Management fought very hard for this, and while it is true the arbitrator may change pay somewhat, we will not have across the board raises. You should expect new hire pay to match the Options rates on this site. If there is improvement on that, well and good. But don't expect it. The quality of hotels is not what it was when we were Bombardier. We stay at a lot of Country Inn and Suites, Comfort Inns and Holiday Inn Expresses. Gone are the days of Hilton properties. Life on the road consists of 3-6 legs per days. 11 hours of duty is a spa day. On a 6 day rotation expect 5 days of 12+ hour duty and your long layover will be less than 12 hours. Even the good old boys are complaining about the duty days. Hopefully there will be some positive changes from this arbitration, but this is today's reality.
