Excluding all of the uncertainty related to potential layoffs, when are we going to see the first new G500 on property? This summer?

Flex is not laying off any pilots. The company is short handed do to the limitations of Project Lift. We will have almost all aircraft reactivated in the next two weeks. Talking about taking deliveries of new aircraft in the last weekly call

30k plus? It's looking like a few thousand total at the major airlines and will probably be short lived. I have nothing but respect for frac pilots, I did it for a long time myself. But for me, although I don't think I'll be furloughed, I would prefer one with a recall number than to be back with my old frac.

That poster interviewed at a major airline just before the Covid mess. It didn’t work out, and it appears that he jumped from Flex to XO. Maybe for the best. Or maybe not.

The argument never changed - those that are interested in 121 will still be interested in 121. Like you said, they’ll bail at the first call back, and there’s a reason why.

Of course the timing for those staring at a furlough is regrettable, but that’s simply the nature of aviation. Obviously it sucks, but those guys knew it going in.

Does Flex operate any G-450's/550's or V's? I'm a recently laid off Gulfstream guy looking around.

Thanks!, I forgot I can search the thread so I did find some post about various gulfstreams but doesn't look like they have anything posted at the moment. I'll keep trying.

Pretty sure direct entry into the international red label fleets isn’t something that you can expect to happen.
