Just a few years ago they were knee deep in furloughs. Now they are out, expanding, and hiring. It's definitely a love or hate airline? I haven't heard anyone say they hate it. Commair=Love/hate. Pinnacle=Love/Hate, Mesa=Hate/Hate. Republic=Love/love. XJT=Love/didn't get called so wtf.
1. Company reputation in industry (especially how they treat their pilots)
2. Upgrade time
3. First two year FO and first four year CAPT pay
4. Jet time over prop time
5. Training situation (ie, training pay, single occupancy hotel, bonus, etc)
If you believe that then XJT is one of the ones at the top. Not bottom. Great reputation, industry leading pay, nice upgrade time, all jets, who really cares about training it's short and gets you out there. I don't know what they pay. Republic pays $400/week
