XO, Jet Edge, Red Wing
 

Any updates on the Vista Group for hiring at Jet Edge or Red Wing? Retiring soon and would like to fly 135 and get my ATP before my written expires. I haven't seen any info on the forums lately

I'd look at Fly Exclusive over Red Wing. What are your times?

FlyExclusive is my #1 choice and I did apply last month, however I was told they need higher time FO's who will be closer to upgrade. I'm only at 1700tt 300multi. I just need to figure out where I can go for a year then find a permanate home. FlyExclusive was very gracious and told be to reapply at 2000 hrs. Problem is my current position we only fly about 24-30hrs a month, gonna take a while to earn another 300 hours.

Have you looked at Flexjet or Netjets?

I know Flex isn’t hiring too many low time people.

OP, maybe try FlyAlliance? Good people there from what I saw.

im not familiar with FlyAlliance, but will research them. Thanks

Nothing new on the Vista Group because nothing has changed. They are still facing financial headwinds, still seeing big % pilot turnover, still promoting poor leaders with history of abusing women, and still an overall toxic environment. With the amount of opportunities out there, and their current financial situation, you should give a lot of thought before obligating yourself to a training contract with a company like that. Not just hearsay...from personal experience.

Can you elaborate on that subject. I have in interview coming up. Want to fly the Global.
