I recently interviewed with the company. 3 very quick and informal interviews and was invited to a SIM evaluation which went well. Job offer 2 days later with the 24 month contract. I proposed some changes to the contract that my mentors suggested. Job offer was immediately rescinded, with a "best of luck to you" type email. I thought the response was unnecessary and spiteful. I consider reasonable negotiations to be an ordinary part of new employment.
Kudos to B727 for his insight on this forum and straight forward dissemination of all aspects of pluses and minuses at FE. Like EF Hutton, when he talks, you should listen.

This was not my experience either...no sim, just 1 yr contract. Great team of folks, treated me very well, definitely a place that is growing with good leadership. I declined the class date when a different opportunity presented itself before my report date. Hard call to make because of the great folks I met and talked with...actually visited the HHQ at Kinston, very impressed with their growth plans and expansion. They appear to be the real deal and will be one of the survivors if things turn IMHO.

You could apply here, 1 year pro-rated contract and no sim check. They won’t negotiate on pay, etc., but neither will any decent company. I know people who work at places where everyone negotiated their own terms and everyone is paid differently and these places are generally not the best places to work. When it comes to negotiating your pay, just ask what UPS, AA, Netjets, and DAL do.. Oh, and flyExclusive, 😝..
Best of luck to you…

Kenny Dichter at Wheels Up is a survivor, I expect they'll find a way to do a Chapter 11. Or possibly merge the operation. Other operators can't get planes fast enough so picking up a bunch via an acquisition might be tempting.

He is. I'm sure he's spending every waking moment trying to figure out how to personally get out of this before the seemingly inevitable happens.

Hi folks, interested in making the jump to the 135/Corporate world; sounds like some good things are happening at FE!
Basic question here that I haven’t seen answered (looked back quite a few pages): What’s a typical day look like? How many legs? Typical hours of rest? Are you typically flying 3-5 legs/day like I’ve heard they do at NJ/FJ, or is it a bit more relaxed? Quality of hotels? Rental cars typical or no? Lastly, what’s the policy on facial hair (short, well-groomed beards allowed?)
Many thanks in advance!

Heard the good news that house cleaning is happening at FE……. Bye bye BW. Hope FE becomes a better place. Now maybe they can work on SOPs, pay and the way pilots represent on the road. Saw a crew in TEB. Wow, looked rough!!!!!
