Years ago I took one look at the fractional life and it seemed a dead end. Too bad they haven't stayed ahead of the 121 world to attract young talent.

They will be reactionary like with everything else. I have a strong feeling that 2020 will come and the company will ask for concessions.

We know it can be difficult to get info on the company and hope to make it easier with a new pilot recruitment website, posting here, social media, etc. With that said, our team of recruiters and pilots will be happy to answer any questions you have.

Our job listings can be seen at www.flexjet.com/careers/pilots

We can also be reached directly at [email protected].

We'll share everything we can. Fractional flying is different than most anything out there and is not for everyone. We're here to give you the info you need to make a good decision.

Some of the best info will be shared with you in person so please do not hesitate to stop our crews out on the road and ask questions.
Can you tell us why they are hiring?

I wish them luck with that. If it happens, it will be a whipsaw against no job at all because they’re downsizing in order to shut the doors.

It's not for growth, that I can tell you for sure! The attrition is through the roof! Their answer will be growth, if they answer at all.

Because the airlines (including some of the regionals) offer a much more compelling and lucrative career path these days...

Default Real pilots take.

I fly here and would like to try and balance the information for people considering FJ.

First of all, just like everywhere else I’ve researched on APC most of the negativity comes from just a couple people that may or may not have multiple usernames and post over and over.

Pick any company on this site, even Legacy’s, there’s always a few sad people that just keep complaining and complaining.

I came here despite all of the negative reviews with the above in mind and the majority of it is complete BS.

I’m at the bottom of the seniority list and get 14-16 days off per month, and rather than spending that time on here bad mouthing the company I spend that time enjoying life like the majority of the other FJ pilots.

In my opinion this is an excellent place to fly with good equipment, good pay and a great quality of life.

Curious as to your flying experience and when you were hired.

I’ve seen the cargo and regional life and I can assure you, in my opinion, this is significantly better.

You’re welcome to PM me as well.
