I had submitted a resume last December and finally heard back for an initial phone screen this past June. I talked with a pilot in HR for about an hour and then got the "thanks, but no thanks" e-mail later that week. Is it worth it to re submit? or has my name been put onto a black list not to be considered again? I would really love to get on with this company. If it makes a difference I have two captain internal recs...
Thanks
Thanks

I initially got the TBNT after my first phone interview. I believe it was timing issues as I wasn't available to leave my job due to a training contranct. I re applied after 6 months and got the call for the interview.

Looking into XOJet. Seems like a good company with a lot of satisfied pilots. I see that they are only looking to hire FO's. Does anyone have any information on what upgrade times are looking at right now with XO? Also, are you home based with XO? Thanks in advance for any info.

You are correct that there are some satisfied pilots at XOJET. However, people are leaving for the airlines. XOJET can't compete when it comes to pay and retirement, so if you are young it's merely a stepping stone.
They do only hire FO's. Upgrade on the X is right around 1 year and just over 2 years on the Challenger. There is talk about increasing the pay for FOs next year.
All pilots are home based and airline out on day 1 and home on day 8. Lots of the Florida and California pilots sometimes end up driving a rental to work to start a rotation. Maybe one out of 6 trips, sometimes more. Honestly the transition days (1 and 8) are the worst part of the job. Those days can and do often exceed 14 hours with day 8 getting you home pretty late.

All in all not the worst place to hang for a while IMO.

Don't want to change the thread, but heard that XO had a mechanism for carrying some extra O2 for trips to Hawaii. I'm not too sure in my source so thought I would ask here. We are looking at a 300 and I am just wondering about pax loads going out that way. Any other issues I should look at?
Thanks.
Thanks.
