No brother, [please have your way with my sister]. You come to the fractional forum where you're already content at making less than half the pay of a major for twice the work. On top of that you apply to FlexJet whose anti-union rooster suckers just recently decertified their union stabbing every union brother and sister in the back. You want to be a part of the most anti-union, pro-management, back stabbing pansies in the industry undermining decades of union activism in work rules, duty times, pay, benefits, and safety and then get offended by the answers? Ignorance isn't a plea here as there are numerous posts about the FlexJet saboteurs and their self serving underhanded ways. Stupidity, greed, felon, or a desire to join the ranks of the management rooster sucking ranks is the only explanation.

Now that the Union is gone, we were supposed to have our kumbaya moment. Far from it. The arrogance of Captain Rooster is just unbelievable. They won't even say hi to the Union supporters. How is Kenn going to fix this mess? BTW, even if you are senior, the junior Flex pilot is being designated the Captain because he has been at Flex longer.

Default Flexjet Training Contract?

Does Flexjet have a training contract? I read somewhere there might be a 2-yr training contract and a 1-yr uniform contract? Not sure if that was old data or rumor.

And yes, I’ve read all 300 pages of the doom and gloom. Just looking for info, thanks.

Don't worry about the classy trolls taking stabs at you. They are just upset they ruined their careers betting on a sub par union that didn't do anything for pilots except take their money and send out fear mongering emails.

It's actually only a few guys with multiple user names and really creepy mustaches.

What really happened one second after??? Well, everyone got a thousand bucks and a lot got raises. Yep, that's right cupcakes, we still have our retirements, duty days are the same, bases are the same, no one is sneaking into our houses and sacrificing our children over fires.

That's all, BYE!

For those of you considering Flexjet, please know that the naysayers that make this place seem like hell are bitter because the Teamsters 1108 were voted out. They are bad actors from the Flightinfo forum crying because they lost their union. They are doing their best to destroy Flexjet, but hopefully you will see through the snowflake rhetoric.

This place isn’t perfect, but our management is actively trying to right the ship, now that the Teamsters are gone.

I encourage everyone who is interested to talk with our pilots in FBOs and to FBO employees about their dealings with us and go to the job fairs, or simply apply. Most folks trolling and negativiely commenting on the forums are doing it out of spite. Yes, there are days that will be long until we get our ranks built up and our planes crewed. We lost a lot of pilots to the airlines.

If you are trying to decide on fractionals vs. airlines, I will suggest this. If you have a knack for individualized customer service and like to serve others, this is a good place to be. If you only turn left after boarding an airplane, then the airlines will be a better fit.

I spoke to a pilot the other day. He said the company is now calling crew members during their rest period to get them to come out to the airport early. Sounds fun.

The FOM says they can call and ask once. Turn phone off during rest. Problem solved. I haven’t gotten a call like that in more than 8 years.

Well, duh, who's gonna call you when you spend all day in the office or the training center?

And is it just me or do the bulk of pro-company posts seem to come from brand-new user accounts both here and on Flightinfo?

Weird.
