Bombardier Flexjet Resumes Hiring Pilots

In response to fleet growth and an uptick in its business, fractional provider Bombardier Flexjet has resumed hiring pilots after ceasing such activity, and then subsequently furloughing pilots, during the Great Recession. It recalled all of its furloughed pilots earlier this year. “We are thrilled to be expanding our dedicated pilot team…and anticipate hiring in the double digits this year and beyond,” said Flexjet vice president of operations Jason Weiss. Applicants should have at least 2,500 hours total time, 500 hours multi-engine and 500 hours turbine, as well as an ATP certificate and first-class medical.
