I have my reasons for going to interview with XJET, none of them I fell the need to justify with anybody. But please be assured, I have done my research, and am well aware of the current situation there.
That being said, I have heard they have very recently changed their interview profile and I would really like some up-to-date info so I can go in as prepared as possible, and not look like an idiot for not being prepared.
Thanks.
No more hiring on the ERJ side. For the foreseeable future. They will probably furlough and downgrade this Fall.
The CRJ side is hiring and building a pool for next spring. CRJ bases are ATL (200, 700/900), DTW (700), DFW (200), IAD (200). It's a crap shoot what base you may get out of newhire training, and the ASA side doesn't run base bids very often. We have a decent contract relative to most other regionals, but these days, that isn't worth much if they're parking all of our airplanes to punish us for it. If we don't get this failed merger completed in the next year or so, this company will not exist by 2021. Half our current airplanes are gone by 2019 (5 years from now). Upgrade is 8 years and rising.
