Growth is a big component of hiring right now. We have the normal attrition that any company has, retirements, etc. and would never suggest we don't. We anticipate approximately a net add of 20 airframes this year, which translates to a lot of hiring.

BTW, we will be at Organization of Black Airline Pilots (OBAP) 2018 OBAP SPRING CAREER FAIR - 2018 OBAP SPRING CAREER FAIR | Online Registration by Cvent and Future Active & Pilot Advisors (FAPA) FAPA.aero | Pilot Job Fairs in Las Vegas in May. If you have the opportunity, stop by. We will have recruiters and pilots available to answer your questions.

I hope this helps.

Guess I don't see the merit in attacking someone's perspective and somehow making an attempt to bully them and their responses. That doesn't sound very inclusive.

Inclusive? You created a segregated program where many of the pilots can’t have a civilized conversation with the average pilot, let alone here at Flex. It’s nothing more than the Senior Flight Officer program with a different name. And BTW, you really look coll with 5 crooked stripes on you jacket.

I attended the online career fair from aero crew solutions. The FlexJet recruiters said the mins are at 1500 (still prefer 2500). Is attrition that bad? or guys just getting picked up by mainline carriers that much...or a little of both perhaps...

With an active drive to decertify the union, I'd seriously reconsider applying at FlexJet. If the union goes away, so does the contract. Not to mention the toxicity of the current work environment. In this hiring cycle, do yourself a favor and avoid this place.

21% attrition and counting. Everyone bailing out is a 12-20 year pilot at Flex. They’re not jumping ship and restarting their careers because things are so rosey at Flight Options posing as Flexjet.

As of last Wednesday there were 85 PRIA requests in CGF. People can't get out of here fast enough.

Which airlines are picking them up? SWA and Spirit? Plenty of other flying opportunities out there...

It makes more sense if you understand that the vast majority of the original Flexjet cadre resides near Dallas and isn’t in a great hurry to commute for life or relocate to one of the four corners of the country.

Locally, American, American Eagle and Spirit are hiring - and I believe all offer a DFW base. SWA obviously has a DAL base but it is pretty senior. Seems like Spirit is hiring a lot of Netjets pilots as it continues to grow (3-4 year upgrades) - perhaps your Flexjet buddies should check it out!
