Retirement / 401K

We put the retirement planning in the hands of the pilot.
Our retirement incentives is two-fold.
Dollar for dollar match of up to 6% an employee’s contri­bution to our Voya managed 401K plan. Pilots may contribute any amount up to the maximum amount allowable by the IRS and the company will match up to 6%.
Also, Flexjet gives directly to the pilots an annual contri­bution of "­def­erred compen­sat­ion­" of $18,000 annually. This contri­bution matures after 3-years and is available for any investment avenue the employee chooses to utilize to grow their retirement accounts.
If used to maximize the 401K contri­bution, a pilot may take full advantage of the entire amount with the company covering the federal taxes on this benefits
