A buddy of mine who just got hired there told me that they put a bid in for some of XJT's routes two or three weeks ago (source: some lady at the hiring department). Of course, nothing is known yet about those 69 planes, so I can't think that they're planning on hiring because of that. He also continued to tell me about other expansion plans as well, but I stopped paying attention to him because it was just a bunch of crap that is just wishful thinking right now, like them getting EMB-170s or 190s and giving some of their CRJs to Mesaba.
