Flight Options orders 100 Embraer Jets.
The order is worth 746 million USD. Are things about to turn around at Flight Options???? Hard to believe from the things I've been hearing....

When I did the FBO thing in college, I met very few happy pilots from Flight Options. At the time they were reducing types in the fleet and were expected to furlough. I have a feeling that due to high attrition they are now in the opposite situation. A lot of the pilots were displaced from the majors, and many said they were bailing at the first chance they had.

I talked to a few on the ramp the other day, I guess a new TA is in the works with a pay increase, said to be some but not as much as NJ. Thats the positive, the negative, The Options pilot I spoke with had an NJ interview the next week.
