Maybe the idea of not sitting reserve for well over a year and upgrading sometime this decade sound attractive to some ppl. I know, that's just crazy . They all suck for different reasons, pick your poison and what works for your situation and roll the dice.

You do realize that some of us have spent upwards of 3 years on reserve. 6-12 months is not that bad considering everything.

I never said 6-12 months is bad or good. I just stated a fact, thats all. FYI some of my friends in other regionals get a line within 1-3 months out of training.

One quick look at the XJT fleet plan over the next couple years and you quickly will notice an eye watering reduction of aircraft.
Good luck on getting a line, especially if you get placed on the CRJ side!

They are probably at a smaller regional experiencing rapid growth. Smart move on their part.

If this does happen, the only difference I see between XJT and Chautauqua is that the XJT pilots would NOT be reabsorbed somewhere at SkyWest like the Chautauqua pilots were at Republic and Shuttle. Do I have this correct?
Say what you want about Republic, but at least the Chautauqua pilots were placed elsewhere when RAH decided to shrink them.
Is there any saving grace for XJT at all here? Any rumors of Inc giving them bigger aircraft? Rumors of XJT pilots being reabsorbed in the SkyWest system? Anything to help the XJT pilots see a light at the end of the tunnel?

So you're saying all the 175's that SkyWest, Inc. has purchased are going to SkyWest Airlines? Nothing to XJT? Could SkyWest, Inc. be following RAH's lead and planning to have XJT go the way of Chautauqua?
