I read on a Business aviation magazine, few months ago, that Comlux has intention to focus the business just on Airbus and Bombardier business and people told me they are still recruiting flight attendants.
Has someone any additional information?
Cheers

Hi there,

Comlux is a really good company where to fly,high professional standard,all the pilots are in good condideration and good atmosphere I heard just only the Hawker(it's sure) and Falcon pilots are laid off.
Roster one week on and one week off usualy or it depends of the fleet.
No hiring at this time.

Safe flights.

Thumbs down Glex Pilot laid off

Hi everybody. To clear all speculations I can tell you that also Glex Pilots are getting layed off. I know it for sure as I am one off them ...still hoping for a part time solution though.

Strange situation,there are laying off and hiring on Airbus,what about all the guys laid off ?
For Stratus,you will only have an interview with tech questions and about the OPs1 regulation.
I don't know the Airbus f/o salaries.
Bases expect the gateway system.

Good point. Why don't they just transfer the Global pilots into the right seat of the Airbus? What, can't the Global pilots handle the transition? 200 hour airline pilot wannabes start off in the right seat of Airbus airplanes - why can't an experienced Global or Falcon pilot? The Global is probably more automated/advanced than the Airbus.

Can someone explain that to the rest of us? Is it all about not wanting to pay for a type rating with furloughed Airbus drivers in the market? That can't be good for loyalty (when economic conditions get better).

Do you know where they ended up? The only thing I know is, that they all were sacked. Does MS still own the Hawker?

Comlux conditions and earnings seem to be a well kept secret!
What is it about this outfit?
Very bad thing what they did to the Hawker and Glex guys!
They hire and fire in the same time!? :rolleyes
Hmmm...makes me curious.

Come on out there...what`s going on there at comlux!!
Also would like to have a light on salary, roster, lifestyle and ! Culture ! inside this Company.
