All Xjt needs is some announcement of growth and things will change drastically. We still haven't gotten over the hump of the little to no hiring (09-11) like other places have. Hopefully when we return to profitability with things like the Delta rate reset Inc will shift some growth airframes our way. In the meantime we do enjoy a really good contract for QOL and pay as a regional. And the current DFW chief is the best chiefs I've ever had. Something to think about also is being home based with good contract you can do more volunteer work which seem to be a key item in getting a call from the big boys. Only thing kinda meh is the flying from AA we get in DFW. It's all out n backs to handful of cities. It's not terrible but the DL flying on CRJ side and UA flying for ERJ is much better because we flow thru the system and have larger contracts with a lot of different places. All in all it's definitely not a bad place and we keep getting the shaft from Inc., our parent company, because we are "not profitable yet".
