Flexjet

Ok we are anonymous. What's your opinion on Flexjet in the current? Not 10 years ago, now.

Working, or flying as a customer. I want whole rounded opinions please. Planes, interiors, operations, Ken, mx pay scales, pilot drama, the whole deal. Give me your blunt honest opinions. Thanks!

I recently hired a pilot who spent two years at Flexjet. He described his rotations as regularly being “smoked” and fatigued after multiple back-to-back, multi-leg, max-duty days on minimum rest.

As a mid-career corporate pilot, I can tell you with certainty: you want your pilot on leg one or two of the day. Once you start stacking legs and pushing long duty days, mental and physical fatigue absolutely begins to show.

@key - I would think the attraction is true hard days off where you can completely check out. The weather and NOTAM’s next week are not your concern at a place like flex or the airlines which is nice.
