FlexJet Captains
Hi Guys,
Longtime lurker, finally retiring from the military this summer. Have an initial phone screening with FlexJet next month. Have been researching the company quite a bit. A ton of information about the company perks and new hire pay with the bonuses etc...But what do Captains make on the PBS schedule? Seems like upgrades are relatively fast, but haven't found anything about Captain pay. Is is it a substantial increase from FO? I know lots of folks at the majors don't upgrade at first opportunity in order to hold a better schedule as a senior FO than a junior Captain, but does that sort of thing exist in the fractional world or do folks upgrade ASAP because the pay is that much better? Thanks a bunch

I have a phone screen set up in July. I was curious. If you upgrade in the phenom in a year or two and 5-6 years down the road want to bid a challenger or something do you loose captain pay to go right seat? I’m currently flying a phenom 100 so I’m used to the cramped small jet lifestyle and wouldn’t have an issue going to the 300. I just know I’d get bored with it down the road.
