If others came on and gave other opinions or even said that you were spreading lies - you would tell others that they weren't being truthful and that you - and only you - are telling the truth on this forum. You expect ME to believe YOU - - - and why I ask.

I don't know you. You don't know me.
All I know is that you had problems with XOJet and others have not.

How do I know that what you claim the company did with the credit card by reinstating it was illegal? I for one certainly didn't read the small print very closely on any such contract. It is a company card right? Can they take away your credit card? If so...why can they reactivate it? I was using my card as an example. It has my name on it. I am financially responsible for it. But I certainly have a plethora of rules to follow and they can cancel my card at any time. Who is to say that they couldn't reissue it if I tried to cancel it?

Can you prove it was an illegal action? If so...get off the forums and contact a lawyer and sue the company.

You still didn't really address the question why a prospective employee should heed your warnings as a better representation of the company rather than other poster's opinion who might have had a better experience with the same company. Are you stating that your experiences are a majority of the rule at XOJet?

Update:
Now that I've read how some others have approached your post and then your responses (it seem if anyone disagrees with you that it gets labeled a personal attack = RED FLAG!), I can certainly say that from someone who might have applied to XOJet at one time that I would view your *opinion* has jaded; possibly for good reason - and possibly an opinion not worthy of consideration.

At my job - we had a very disgruntled employee leave the job sometime ago. He was a trouble maker all the way around. To management, to other employees, in the airplane and on the job. I imagine he could come on a forum such as this and write a particularly long rant too. Some of the things that he would be likely to complain about would be partially based in truth, and the same things that many of us would complain about. The problem is that he would take the common and understandable issues and make them his own (think black hats are coming to get me type of stuff) with some extra flare and without any consideration to the *other side* of the coin. I get the feeling that this is what is happening here and I find it "to be very telling".

Rarely is any job all bad or all good.
One group comes on and said that not everything is bad and there is some good, but things can always get better and there are pros and cons. Another poster comes on and only relays the bad and seems to be trying to pass off his own *bad* experiences as the norm and won't/can't even admit that there must have been some good times if he stayed with the company for 3 years.

As TripleLindy said to the at large readers of this thread - - - consider the source and the approach.
Just curious if you missed this?:

I was at XOJet from early 2007 to December 2008. There was a big need for experienced C-750 pilots at the time. I helped XOJet find experienced C-750 pilots in early 2007. I had been with Swift for about 7 years at that time. XO was great in the beginning.

I even gave up my position at USAir (AWA guy) to stay at XOJet. That was at the behest of the former DO and CP who have since left I believe.

Anyways, I saw the beginnings of what Specoli alluded to in his posts. It was very political and some of the airman-ship was questionable from the "upper-pilots". I had one super-senior guy almost take us off the end of a runway in MOU. That was exciting. It wasn't long after XO crashed the Falcon in RIL.

I tried to tell several people there that "rolling-rest" is illegal. They didn't want to hear that. It was illegal when I was there and it remains illegal today. I am not sure if they still utilize "rolling-rest" but it wouldn't surprise me.

Anyways, great post Spicoli!
Anyhoo...
