The stock lockers will be supplied with fresh tennis balls for the newhire walkers.I just got an auto-generated email asking me to congratulate one of my distant LinkeIn connections for starting a new job as a first officer at Flexjet.
When I looked at his profile, I saw that he graduated college in 1970.
Wow. Just ... wow.

Squawk all jabbing aside I think we can both agree Flexjet will not be getting any desirable candidates for a very long time if not forever. Here's what our hiring will look like:
1.) We'll get young inexperienced candidates looking to build enough time to qualify for 121. Any candidate under 35 who is smart enough to take a broad view of aviation won't be caught working 30 years without a union.
2.) We'll get mid-age rejects who couldn't get another job or are attracted only by money and do not value QOL. Yeah, those guys are always fun. Not.
3.) Geezers and retirees who either can't hang it up due to a lack of home life or mismanaged their money so irresponsibly they can't afford to hang it up. Once again, painful to fly with.
The longterm repercussions to our pilot group are tremendous. Sure the business (DAC more importantly than Flexjet) will make money, Kenn will capitalize on his coup with a certain segment of owners and as long as we can avoid a fatality (doubtful given the above) investors (and owners) will remain invested. But the pilot group will suffer, more importantly pilots themselves will suffer. Mark my words in 10 years the industry will speak of you the same way you would often speak of FLOPS pilots back in the day.
Are you not at all curious why DAC had to buy a new name with a certain amount of credibility instead of fix the issues at Options? Has it occurred to you it's because they have no desire to fix anything? The new name gives them at least a decade of great brand recognition but sooner or later chickens always come home to roost.
You can deny the exodus all you want but come fall we are up a creek. We are already hurting but summer is masking the blow. It's crazy we are flying 5 and 6 leg days as a routine in late June.
I'm done arguing. The realization of just exactly how much of a collasal mistake voting out the union instead of fixing it was will happen soon enough.
Anyone I know with any sense of self worth is making an exit plan. You yourself admitted your new type was part of your own exit plan but now you are drinking Kool Aid? I don’t buy it.
In the grand scheme of things not being unioned hurts only one group - the pilots. Woe to you and your group when the majority realizes that fact.
All the vote really did was solidify Flexjet's place as a bottom feeder and you know it. Otherwise you wouldn't have made the joke above.
Wonder who actually wrote that?
