Why any relatively junior FO with aspirations of upgrading would stay at XJT is beyond me. Left for C5 in Jan after 4.5 years. They handed me a $15,000 check, an immediate upgrade out of ground school, commuter hotels and the CPP (which anyone in now will go to UA in <2 years).

What has XJT done for you lately?

No matter how you spin it, truth is that 12/31/2017 is XJTs last day of existence on paper.

Outside of being a scab, I commend anyone for doing what's best for them to advance their career. Sometimes that includes making pretty tough choices and short term sacrifices in order to achieve long term gain.
