700 new hires in 2012
Approx. 350 Upgrades
Additional flying / aircraft to be announced in the coming weeks.
This was not an official memo, but someone we talked to today while on our trip.
I'm pretty sure things are moving along a little bit faster on the XJT side, not sure though

Get ready for the SkyWest whipsaw!
What exactly do you mean?

Looks like XJet is getting planes from Eagle.......
Where did you hear this? Which planes?
