XJT schedules crews to go all over the country as opposed to most other regionals. I work for Eagle and if you are ORD based, you basically do turns in and out of ORD 75% of the time. This way they can 'adjust' your schedule when weather hits instead of getting stuck at a random station. Eagle is a hub-and-spoke system as opposed to XJT which is working the point to point flying much more than we do.
