We have at least 2 (with rumors of a 3rd) new type additions in plans right now, so there are strong possibilities of senior/experienced guys/girls getting one of the first seats.

Can someone expand on what the flex schedules look like? I've heard they are close to what the airlines have, meaning 18 on, 12 off and the days off are determined by seniority and bidding. What are the normal length of trips for flex pilots? Thanks!

I am taking a look at moving from regional to home basing option...
At XO is there a lot of sitting reserve at an FBO? Seems from reading threads you all have long duty days... how much of that is followed by min rest?
I like the idea of a no-stress commute and outside of being a new hire, no face-to-face with company/management. IT still amazes me and hear many ACMI talk about not knowing what their chief pilots look like and only seeing the occasional station manager when landing at outstations. And you all are another level from that I would assume... no dealings with the company that can't be handled via email, phone call, or company ipad. I can't think of anything besides a random whiz quiz.
