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.
People who have well rounded resumes and only need to get current or some 121 time. People who are close to being selected by mainline before they even start at Express jet. Then the company can say how many Fos are getting hired without upgrading then the real idiots apply that think they can do the same.
