Flexjet Europe starts up
 

I guess it's official now, althoug I'm not sure how they will compete with Netjet's 100+ European aircraft with 8 Nextant 400Xti

Question is: Which European airline will they buy?

Did they not try before already ?

Flexjet before was owned by bombardier. They tried for a short time I Europe as well. The company was then sold to a private investor who also in the USA bought flight options and now they want to try Europe again and with their own words compete with netjets.

The worst aircraft Netjets ever flew was the Hawker 400XP and the new competitor is flying a updated second-hand version of that aircraft? They have to be veeerrrryyy cheap to compete with a new Phenom300. :8

Downsizing in the US and trying for a second time in Europe. Doesn´t sound very promising. Anyhow, very curious which company will be Flexjet´s partner. I can only think of a handful flying Beechjets/Nextants based mainly in Eastern Europe.

Why does the operator being bought need to operate an existing Nextant fleet to make it viable? You're looking too far East wondering.

Right. I somehow read too much between the lines. The article just mentiones any AOC.

Vistajet's American partner is Jet Aviation and unrelated to Flexjet/FlightOptions/Onesky.

Interesting, are there that many Hawker 400 pilots in Europe?

There where some ex NJE pilots that got fired (France and Belgium) but doubtful if they are still jobless. Then again a hawker/beech 400 rating takes 2 weeks at FSI Farnborough

There's about 6 of us in the uk.

Rating takes 3 weeks, did it about 18 months ago

2 weeks, 3 weeks. Potato, potato. The point is it doesn't take months or years to train a Beech 400 pilot.

Ah the Hawker 400. Is that the one that is known as the rice rocket, in some parts??

It's basically a jazzed-up Mitsubishi Diamond so a 38 year old platform with new engines and new avionics - nothing really wrong with that, worked for the Hawker 125 for 50 years.

However, pitched against say a Phenom 300, its decades apart in design terms.

and a BFL of a 747...NOt talking about the LDR...Space shuttle was the only competitor..

Potato Patato... Very few type ratings take longer than 3-4 weeks.... So what was your point?

That it isn't the worlds greatest crisis that there aren't that many rated and unemployed beech/Nextant 400 pilots in Europe.

Very true, i'd assume they'll send crew to Dallas to do the Nextant 400 initial, or differences course anyways. Be interesting hearing more about this as it develops

Rice Rocket?
 

I thought the MU-2 was dubbed the Rice Rocket. Maybe the "M" model?

Yes I stand corrected. I think my memory is deteriorating. Sorry, what was the question?

Are Flexjet Europe still expected to introduce the Legacy600 early 2018 or has that plan fallen by the wayside?

The three Nextant400s seem to be fairly busy although I'm sure I read at the time they expected to have between 6-10 aircraft on strength by now?

It looks like the first Legacy has arrived in Europe and is currently being operated on Sirio's AOC but may be UK based, it's been doing customer demo's all day out of Birmingham, UK.

Flexjet Europe is hiring FOs and CPTs for Nextant and Legacy in Europe. I applied and got my interview scheduled for next week.

Thanks Arti, for sharing! I just applied.

She is the person in charge for hiring process for Flexjet Europe. She already replied me! They are looking for many captains and FO. Looks like many airplanes has arrived and will arrive more!
I saw that Flexjet is part of one of the biggest group in U.S.
those guys don't joke at all.

Cheers

Oh dear, cheap propaganda...

When scrolling through several (independent) news items related to Flexjet it seems pretty legit. However, I am not an insider of the business. Perhaps you have some more information to share with us? (Besides these 'new' users trying to bump up an old post ;)).

Of course they are offering jobs, that's great for people looking for work. But as you wrote, this new user "OvercloudsPullUp" smells like someone from Flexjet's propagande-department. I guess nobody is falling for it, I just wanted to flag it. And we all know who's the biggest company offering fractional ownership. It's not Flexjet, by far.

Trolling around. I can smell a crap from afar - and this on stinks.

Possibly trolling - but as somebody on the inside, recruitment is being managed and administered in the UK and neither of those posts look to be from native speakers.

I did it, I have no high chance due to my CV but you never know
I had look around and there are many post about it in Linkedin as well

I'm applying too. Hopefully will get a a call back. PM me since we have a couple NJE guys trolling.

Anyone have any idea on T&C's on offer? The advert is pretty vague :suspect:

Flexjet Europe:

FlairJet, Flexjet Europe pilot jobs news for airline pilots and aviation schools

Flexjet US:

FlexJet pilot jobs news for airline pilots and aviation schools

I am sure you can do the math. Flexjet Europe is a far cry from Flexjet US. Unless something has changed recently.

Ahh, doesn't look that great then in comparison to NJE and even Vistajet

The post from wondering seems to show information that is from Bombardier days. Checked APC and the rates are much different and even higher than NJA. Does anyone have authorisation to approve me to post that link so we can compare here?
