Y’all can’t sustain that. And it looks like they are addressing it and getting people into classes. Like I said, they can’t get upgrade times down until they get new pilots, and they can’t get new pilots with the long upgrade times. Catch-22.

Again, I’m not bashing XJT, I seriously considered going there. I chose Mesa (despite their reputation) because I was able to choose the base I wanted and can upgrade when I’m ready and still be based there, instead of EWR, LGA or some other craphole on the east coast. (No offense to you NJ or NY people. Just not my cup of tea. ) XJT couldn’t offer me any of that.
