May 08 Availability
I will be retiring from my current occupation in May of 08. I will be 50. Am looking at the fractionals for a second career. When should I start sending out resumes/applying for the various fractionals? I'm afraid of doing it too early and being offered a position that I will have to turn down. How far in advance do the fractionals hire? Thanks in advance.

I accepted an offer from FlexJet in early September, but could not start until mid November due to reserve commitment. They had no problem waiting. I would go ahead and apply now, with your availability date noted.
FlexJet will be announcing changes to pay structure and possibly pilot bases in January; you might want to wait until then if you are not interested in one of the current pilot bases (DFW, DEN, TEB, FLL). The first question in the phone interview will be, "what base are you interested in?"
