The fact they had to put out a 15 pilot furlough/voluntary resignation request out, and the fact they have never turned a profit, AND if you research some other websites about XO and some interesting financial choices, why would you want to work there?
Their pilot posting has been on the website whether they have been hiring or not, for years.

Alot of these companies operate with too much overhead, you know big fancy offices, too many management types, and basically not watching their spending. I have been working for a small mom and pop charter company flying three jets for the past 10 years, i have never been furloughed, never missed a paycheck, and enjoy the small family atmosphere. We weathered the economy downturn a few years ago just fine by watching company spending carefully. My point is sometimes bigger and fancier companies are not always the answer, for those of you looking for flying jobs check out your local charter companies, there are a few good ones out there.

Four to six pilots to be hired shortly. Apparently mgmt backtracked about those who took the buyout in July needing to go through the interview all over again. Now they will be coming back from a paid "vacation" without having to interview. IMO this was the plan from the beginning as the people are typed (some probably even current) and a known entity. If not enough takers of those let go there's most likely enough poolies willing to cover the slots. Additional interviews for possible future needs likely.
Good for those rehired I suppose, but it shows what mgmt tells us means just about squat.
