An email was sent to existing XOJet pilots saying something like, "these are the candidates we are considering... so please let us know if you have knowledge of them or want to comment on their potential employment with us"
On a different note, I wonder if XOJet still has a "no vacation" policy. I like the company, however.
Recommendations have always been very important at XOJET. You got some bad information on that one.
Sorry your buddy didn't get hired, but we like having the opportunity to safeguard our pilot group. It's a very good thing.
1 week (8 days) of vacation after 1 year, two weeks (16 days) after 5 years. I just put my bid in last week.
