I chose ExpressJet. Probably the number 1 reason was because of the purposeful shrinking that Inc imposed on them for the past few years. Just like the stock market, without risk there is no reward. I would rather support a unionized carrier with a huge upside right now, rather than go fly for a non-union carrier that has a too high opinion of themselves and milked a subsidiary for all they were worth. We can all have a bad day. IF that ever happens, I would want a union behind me advocating for my protection. Those that think they operate aircraft perfectly in all conditions are showing blindness to the risks, and in my opinion are even more susceptible to an incident.
XJT has 60 tail numbers reserved and is installing a 175 sim. You don’t invest in a sim to staff 25 airplanes.
