Fractionals are not charter. Although we can and do operate under part 135. A person off the street cannot just walk up and say "take me to ***." The ONLY passengers are owners in the program or prospective owners on a demo flight. Without getting into details, an owner must choose whether his flights are to be part 91K or 135.

I was in the same boat as eglplt and made the same decision. NJA here I come!! Flex appears to be a great company and the HR staff was great as well, but I just was more impressed with NJA. Besides, you cant deny that the contract isnt the best in the industry right now! Good luck to all.

If I were just getting into aviation and ready to make the move to the regionals then ASA would be my dream job also. I have been in the airlines for 9 years and 6 at ASA. It is time to move on. There is a point where it just doesnt pay enough anymore for the amount of BS that goes with the job. I love flying and the best part of my job at ASA is when the gear is in the well and the door is closed. Once I get on the ground in ATL then the inefficiencies begin. Chalk that up with a difficult commute to DFW and you will have enough reasons to move on. NetJets here I come!!
