Training - In my opinion , it’s fantastic. You will have some delays no doubt but that’s everywhere. Most the instructors are outstanding and they will work with you if you need extra sims without making you feel like a loser.
Bases - Chicago or Houston we’re both fine for me. I got Chicago.
People - you are going to fly with some pretty amazing captains ! At least I think so.
Hotels - better than most
Medical benefits - better than most
The union - they are working for us but take everything with a grain of salt.
Your issue resigning from a Flight Instructor position will have no factor on any airline hiring you. That’s just head trash. Tell them the story if they ask and move on.
I've dealt with some ExpressJet people and I've honestly only had positive experiences with them. I've also talked to some former ExpressJet pilots and they said they liked the people who they worked with.
Do you think ExpressJet is on the up and coming? Everyone around me seem to be going to Republic or PSA. But I feel like their hiring will slow down.
