Just read in Aerocrewnews that Flexjet intends to double its fleet over the next 5 years. Really? Is that through an acquisition of another operator or do you have that many outstanding orders? For what types? More Phenoms and CL350s?

They want to increase the fleet by 40% this year alone. Internal communications indicate every fleet by moving orders up, buying off the used markers, etc.
They are really wanting to expand our ILC (G459/G650/GLEX) fleets.

I don't know if FJ is gonna have the pilots to staff these aircraft. Attrition is through the roof.

I am guessing that the pay increase is not enough to keep pilots? Any indication of other improvements coming soon to stave off the attrition?

when you do 14 hours on /10 off (that’s not 10 behind the door, mind you), it wears.
Then you have 7-14 day tours.
then you have to load/unload 800 pounds of bags in the rain/cold.
then you look at the airlines where a 2nd year FO makes almost as much as someone on a Gulfstream but they also have 16% 401k direct contribution …
Then you also have no union protection for anything.
things start to look different.

Everything JT said. And they are'nt just leaving for other airlines, they're also leaving for NetJets. The company said they want the pilots to be the best paid and yet ignore the soft pay structure NJ guys have. The way the pay raise was done did them more harm than good.
