I don't know if it's people not doing their research or maybe being misinformed but, to those of you applying to work there, are you aware that reserve is eternal and that you'll most likely never upgrade?
People are fleeing that place like the plague due to stagnation and beimg endless years on reserve. With other regionals, you'll be upgrading around the same time you'll have a line at XJT.
I am shaking my head in disbelief at this thread - I'm sure XJT is an awesome place to work at but that has nothing to do with career progression.
Please specify which pilot group has eternal reserve and how you came about this information. I know the ASA side doesn't have reserve as long as you are claiming. I will give you the upgrade thing. As of now it is forever long but things can change. Who knows. But the training is top notch and quality of life is still better than other regionals.
