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.
I'm no expert, since I left Flexjet two years ago, but I'm pretty sure the only way a senior Flexjet guy would ever make anything close to that is on Domestic Red Label. And only by agreeing to waive the various work rules that applied to the rest of the fleet.
But you're saying that guys at...
It's telling that you adopt the mantra of a serial womanizing liar who demands blind loyalty from those around him but offers none himself, who surrounds himself with flunkies and yes-men and who has yet to keep a single promise he made during his campaign.
And don't even get me started on Trump.
My crystal ball says recession in Q4 of 2019 or early 2020. And you know how well the fractional industry weathered the last recession. Add to that the fact that the economics of the frac model don't really make sense anymore. AND the fact that the frac industry has been shrinking overall in...
The biggest issue at Flex--a huge percentage of tools in the ranks--never would have happened had the fractional industry not been in such horrible shape.
No matter what flavor of moonshine the sales departments are pedaling the fractionals are shrinking and have been since 2008. Bombardier...
Rather than band together with those around to try and build something worthwhile you've thrown your lot in with a serial liar hoping he'll reward you for turning your back on everything that makes this profession a profession in the first place.
Good luck with that.

In 1999, Tarkenton was fined by federal regulators as part of a securities fraud sweep. According to the LA Times, "In Tarkenton's case, the Hall of Fame quarterback and 10 other former executives of his computer software and consulting firm, KnowledgeWare Inc., were accused of...
Give your old uniforms to a homeless person living under a busy underpass near an airport.*
And congrats, by the way.
*Assuming you're accoutered in that clown costume they foisted on everybody a few years ago.
Sorry, man, but I have to disagree with you. Kenn Ricci is a symptom of a greater problem and that problem is a group of pilots who've lacked cohesion since day one and who've grown so accustomed to singing for their supper that they can't imagine life any other way. Why this was the case at...
Man, that sucks. That was my old fleet and it's sad to see those gals kicked to the curb. Sad, but not surprising.
What is surprising is the number of people I flew with back in the day who are still hanging on there. People with the experience and qualifications and years left to get the hell...
Wow! Single-engine raw data finally went away? Good for you guys. I never could understand why the schoolhouse clung to that. They always told me it was 'cos the FSDO wouldn't let them change anything but I always suspected it had more to do with penis measuring than anything else.
I'd be interested. I left Flexjet a year and a half ago (as a MIGS, thank you very much) and was fortunate to get picked up by a major. I watch the list of upcoming interviewees like a hawk.
Feel free to PM me.
He knew exactly what he was getting when he bought 'Flex: a pilot group too stupid and vain and lazy to get out of its own way, who had all the notice in the world about what was coming (remember the big Global and Challenger sale to Netjets? Remember?), yet still refused to believe it.
I spent...
"Flexjet culture"? Please! Flexjet never had a "culture". Unless you wanna call whoring for overtime and grabbing all the extra days you could even as guys were being furloughed on a massive scale a "culture".
And lest we forget the "focus groups." And our very own equivalent of the FOK's, only...
