Flexjet, LLC.

Pilots: It is common to work 12+ hours per day every day.  Your salary remains the same for the first 5 years. But the upgrade time is about a year or two tops so it can increase in less time.  Right now the company is experiencing a huge growth period - like everyone else in aviation.  So there are growing pains.  But even before 2019 average work days were 11+ hours.  Anywhere between 2 to 6 hops a day.  Turn times are scheduled usually at an hour.  But they shorten dramatically when passengers are late or early.  Flight plans are filed by the company. But the rest is up to the crew.  Throwing bags, passenger handling, regulation compliance, cleaning including the toilets, etc.  You'll work harder at this job that most others in aviation.  You'll Ariline to and from work (on work days which is great).  But you'll have connecting flights oftentimes and many of them will be short turn times to change planes.  Risky when you're trying to board early for bags and for missing flights when trying to get home.  Everyone who joins the company will either upgrade to a phenom light jet when they move to Captain or jump over everyone else by interviewing again for a job in a large cabin.  So getting hired at the company will not get you into larger aircraft without completing another application/interview process for jobs inside the company.  Schedules are typically 7 to 14 days out on rotation followed by 4 to 7 days back.  Typical month is 16 days of work +/-.  

When I first started this job was actually pretty great. It was interesting to learn about the world of private aviation and all of the moving parts it took to be functional day to day. At the time, it was owned by Bombardier but not long after I started they were bought out by a different one. The new company was less skilled, used out of date software and did not seem to care for its employees, no matter how much they tried to convince you otherwise. Instead of keeping Flexjet's current, up to date systems and irreplaceable operations team, they did away with them, keeping what was best for them, not the customers, and it was instantly noticeable. Most employees were paid hourly, but they used a salary based pay schedule. It took 9 months or more to get your raise AFTER doing your employee evaluation. They had 2 offices, one in Ohio and one in Dallas. The turn over rate in Ohio was atrocious, and when they couldn't fill those positions, they enforced mandatory weekends on the Dallas team, who were the veterans of the company and should have been seen as the leaders in their respective departments. You could bend over backwards and they wouldn't notice or care. 

I can guarantee your time, effort and mental health deserves better than this company. Do not let them fool you into working here. 

Flexjet is a company that really cares, they are moving in really exciting directions over the coming months, with a brand new HQ in Cleveland and new offices in DAL. Aside from renovation, the fleet is growing immensely, new faces are joining, and opportunities are growing too! For employees who lean in and engage, the opportunities are endless. People at the company really care. The schedules are  flexible schedules, but in aviation never stops. Those who care do very well here. There are many opportunities with sister companies as well and something new is always happening at Flexjet. There are annual performance reviews, educational assistance, and the benefits are extremely competitive. Glad I applied for Flexjet and I highly recommend it to other individuals who are looking for success in their profession too!

I was excited when I got this job.  The pay was great, and it was less then ten minutes from where I live.  Little did I know what I was in store for the next two years.  The place is run horribly.  The management caters to those who have been there a long time, and does not care at all about new people.  They let the old timers run the place, and they get away with practically just about anything they want.  There are a few genuinely nice people there, but very few and far between.  The team leads are jerks.  They sit back, dont work, and dump work on top of you because they have the power.  They abuse it.  They surf the internet all night, and act superior because they have been there for years and they are pilots.  Well, if they are pilots, why arent they flying planes?  The dispatch manager claims to have an open door policy, but when you go to him, nothing is ever done about anything.  It got so bad, that I just quit one day.

Kind of a misleading job title. You have no operational control of a flight so are you really dispatching a flight? It was very repetitive and boring for me.  All you were doing was filing flight plans on foreflight and making changes as needed like an aircraft or crew change. Minor checking of weather and notams but overall very repetitive work and there’s so many on a shift there’s very little work to go around except for when the new TAF comes out. Not a bad place to be and the people were fine schedule was 4 11 hour shifts possibility to work from home. They provided housing for 30 days and a bonus of 5k but repayable if you leave within a year. Good job for those who enjoy sitting down all day in an office type environment. Not really the position for those looking to move forward in dispatch. You don’t really gain the experience in my opinion. 

Was hired at a certain pay rate and was told it would go up once I got a certain license, so I took the job and found out it was a complete lie. I was told I’d get the pay bump as soon as the license was done, but then they told me it had to be one year from date of hire which I could not afford. They also changed comp structure while I was there which pushed back finish lines for pay raises. There were mechanics there that hadn't received raises in years that were good mechanics. They send you to Cleveland for orientation and give you incorrect information. For example, I was given information on a PTO policy that was completely inaccurate. You accrue two weeks per year, that’s it. No sick time. Forced to work major holidays. May be good for management/c-suite but terrible place for mechanics. 

Great company overall, honestly. Great work-life balance. Management can't really be trusted; they have "files" on you, both good and bad. Management says they listen, and I think middle management wants to change things for the better, but upper management is still in a very small company mindset, and change only comes when push comes to shove. While on the road, you have good support, and they basically leave you alone. Change in your day and rotation happens all the time. It can get frustrating at times, but it is what it is. I think in order to be a career place for pilots, total compensation will need to go up, and better transparency from upper management needs to happen, not just reciting the company mottos and sucking up to the Kenn. I'd give FJ a solid 80% for a place to work. Some things are great, some could be better. 

Some of the departments seem alright, but some of them are run terribly by poor management. They allow their 'favorites' to slack off, sleep all day, shop online, etc., while the 'not favorites' are forced to do all the work. A typical day at work for me involved busting out high volumes of work while listening to a co-worker snore all day and talk about what she was buying online while she was supposed to be working. The culture was promoted as 'casual' by the 'big boss' manager, but the lower ranked supervisors did not allow certain employees to engage in casual behavior. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy; they do not value intelligence and hard work.

Due to a recent buyout at the beginning of 2014, unfortunately there have been monthly lay-offs by the new owners.

Working for Flexjet Bombardier was an incredible opportunity and expanded my work history.

My day was never the same working for Flexjet Bombardier which made going to work exciting.  We booked private aviation aircrafts for Flexjet owners.  We booked on-demand bookings from people that had recieved word of our great service.  We booked dedicated Jet Card accounts with contractual pricing, constantly challenged to make money on these trips.

I absolutely love Flexjet.  My co workers are friends and laid back.  Does it get stressful at times, yes...  But that is the most fun time.

Your ability to be promoted from within is amazing.  10 years ago I was a Professional Minor League Umpire.  I am now a Scheduler/Dispatcher for a private airlines.  I was a Hotel Logistics Coordinator at Flexjet and was promoted to my position.  So the ability to grow with the company is always a possibility.
