I recently interviewed for Flexjet. As far as the sim ride goes, you can expect a normal takeoff and some basic attitude instrument flying. Climbs, turns and descents with speed changes. Then expect a turn to a VOR and given holding instructions. You may or may not enter the hold depending on whether or not you described the proper entry etc. After that, vectors for raw data ILS to full stop. Sim is then reset, takeoff again with a V1 cut runway heading to 3000. That is it in a nutshell. We had one of their pilots act as PNF since they know you won't know the airplane. Ask for anything you need. Sit in whichever seat you are most comfortable. Your choice.

As far as the interview itself, it was a panel interview. I had 5 people sitting in for mine at various levels of management. Very straightforward. Standard HR interview questions. Nothing technical. You will also be required to fill out a behavior assessment prior to your interview date. This is completed online.

My interview may have been different than the "off the street" guys. I was one on furlough who was called back. Hope this helps a little. Good luck!

Anyone know how long it takes to get an interview date after the initial phone interview or is a date given on the spot?

Got mine on the spot, thanks for the info splitfinger, did u get re-hired?

splitfinger60

I did re-hired. Challenger 300. Interviews can obviously be stressful, but they go out of their way here to make it comfortable. It was the same experience for me the first time I was with the company. It's a great place to work and things are certainly looking up. Th biggest unknown is what will become of the sale to DAC. Good luck to you!

There is one big question that I have about the hiring surge that is about to happen with the Majors. How many people at an organization like FlexJet have their applications in and will drop 2 weeks’ notice as soon as a call comes? Calls are going out for Delta and Southwest, United has been hiring for months now, and American sounds like they will start taking apps next week. So a lot of people are going to have the chance to go work for these companies in the coming months.

I will begin by stating that I have my apps in with all these companies and would surely not say no if they called me first, but I really want the Fractional life I think. So my question is, how many do you think a company like FlexJet might lose in the coming surge at the Majors? I know that most Captains will not go, but what about FO’s? What I am hoping for is that as these guys get hired it will open up more slots for me at FlexJet.

That's great you both got offers of employment at the interview. So many companies make you wait. That makes me like them even more. How long until school starts and what kind of a schedule can a junior f/o expect?

IFlyFL410

Junior FO or senior CA, there's not really a lot of difference. The difference really are the number of days that you work and the days off that you want. You can expect to work 15 to 16 days per bid period and do the average five and six day trips. If you're looking to do 7/7's, then you'll have to wait awhile for that.

I know that Flex is going to hire 20 this year, any numbers for 2014?

Thanks iFlyFL410. Anything less than 8 sounds great!

No announcements for 2014 yet but they may add a third class before year's end. Six new-hires started today. All to the Challengers.
