Pros
Build your own schedule as captain Travel different places every day Company card for food Keep loyalty points for airlines and hotels Home based
Cons
Does not compare or compete at all with earnings/benefits/etc. at airlines. If you’re in a position to eventually live in base at a legacy airline, you’d be dumb to stick around at Flex for your entire career. Frequently max duty & min rest (10hr) Even if you’re done early they don’t release you so it’s often impossible to go out and enjoy whatever area you’re in. Bonus structure is not the best. You don’t feel rewarded for working extra hard. Same daily rate no matter how much or how little you work. Frequently 4-5 legs a day depending on fleet (Challenger & Phenom) Overall twice the work for half the reward compared to legacy airlines
