Was also at Xjet myself. I remember how happy I was that morning in December 2018 when I saw that we had been bought by United. I remember plopping down at my computer and taking a quick scroll through facebook. I see a United E175 and then realize it's the Xjet facebook page. I think I bounced around my living room laughing and crying. I remember things were getting so much better through 2019 until I left for Spirit. Then covid happened....
But as for Xjet/ASA, yea, it wasn't great. I remember we didn't agree to a JCBA until it was official that the CRJ side was gone. I remember I flew with ASA pilots who transitioned to the 145 and they were all great. Xjet was a great experience for a regional but definitely glad I got hired by Spirit when I did.
