The poor economy is a challenge to everyone. I don't think XOJET is immune, but the company is in far better shape than many due to it's deep pockets and access to serious credit in a very tight market.
While making a move to a new company is never without risk, I think there are few other companies that offer the stability XOJET does due to our continued growth and financial position. You are certainly entitled to your opinion though.
I admire your attitude for the success of XO! I am not here to question the steadfast nature of XO's growth model but simply to bring up some important points to thought for interested parties. I also think XO would be a great opportunity for someone who is unemployed, Howerver IMHO I would not leave a stable job for an XO opportunity at this point in time.
Regarding the eliminations of personnel, Could you tell us exactly what positions were eliminated?
I'm also curious to hear your opinion on how XO is going to support its aggressive growth model during a deep recession?
