Despite the nice show ExpressJet may have put on for your school, they not hiring any pilots right now, zero, zip, nada. They are contracting significantly.
Fleet reduction numbers:
Through end of 2014:
-----
XJT - 52 aircraft (17 CRJ2 - 35 ERJ 145)
SKW - 4 aircraft (CRJ2)
2015:
-----
XJT - 79 aircraft (20 CRJ2 - 59 ERJ 145)
SKW - 22 aircraft (22 CRJ2)
As far as American Eagle, why don't you go spend some time reading through their current thread (or the 10 others that have been locked over the past weeks.) That should give you a rough idea.
Yeah, that's why I noted it as a 'guaranteed' job. They guarantee you a job, they just don't mention WHEN you'll get that job.
Yeah I've browsed through some of the Eagle/Envoy threads, though its a battle of persistence as I wade through the plethora of off-topic comments (I'm looking at you "The useful Envoy thread")

Sometimes, the sure thing, isn't the best option. Don't sell yourself short on options.
They just happen to be the airlines I've taken most notice in, even before these deals were arranged with our university. I'm open to working for other regionals (or anything really). But I've gotta start somewhere, so I figured I'd get input on these two first and go from there.
