Shout out to Xjet
Today ExpressJet branded ceased operations. I think it had a lot to do with high oil prices. I rode on them many times as a non-rev, and twice on a paid ticket. I can say, they offered a superior product, and it's sad to see them not make it.
The total experience they offered the consumer was far in excess of what one would expect at Southwest. As an MVP Gold at Alaska, I was enslaved to the FF program (not complaining) but I think Xjets product was superior in the markets they served.
All that said. Xjeters are on the street. What could have been just didn't turn out to be.
To all the Xjet dudes. I wish you well. Thanks for the jumpseats. Thanks for the remarkably professional operation, all things considered. I hope everyone seeking it can find a suitable home for the future.
