There does appear to be more movement at Endeavor than at XJT. However, there is debate with the rest of this statement.

Ryan Gumm, president of Endeavor, was Comair's president when they were shut down. His history at Freedom, then Comair, doesn't lend itself to being a "well run airline." I was at Comair through the end and had two notable confrontations with him.

Consider XJT's ownership which is SkyWest Holdings. SkyWest Holdings doesn't like the E145s and is parking them. Some of those are going to TransStates. Several junior XJT junior F/Os are going elsewhere...some for QOL, quick upgrade and/or job security. I personally know two who are at PSA and I'm certain there are more. I know of more who went to TransStates as part of the CQFO hiring there earlier this year/late last year.

Unless you have a signed commitment which you have to satisfy, get your training at XJT and immediately...IMMEDIATELY...start looking elsewhere
