Yeah so i don't have a crystal ball or anything (sometimes I wish I did). and I'm sure as not 100 percent sure I'll get the skywest job in 6 months, but I'm not gonna take anyone just cause they offered me the job. I turned down another job before XJT. It was a coporate job flying a king air with a company that I already worked for on a contract basis. But I didn't want to live in Indiana. As much as I put into my career I'm not gonna change my life for a job. Job is second, life is first. I may not make as much money as I could but at least when I'm done with the day (whether I'm at home or on the road) I'm happy. That's what's important. Sorry folks, I don't plan on working a day. I'm just flying and people are paying me for it, I can't complain.
ExpressJet is a great company. I wanted to work for them for the longest time. But then I got to meet the people out at Skywest and checked out Salt Lake (I was out there visiting for like 3 days)(twice) and I really like it better than ExpressJet. Remember they aren't the only ones doing the interview. You're interviewing them as well. So I don't think I made a bad decision. I'll hold out for MY job, the one I want. I have a good thing going.

OK to answer some question. My hours were 1080tt, 110multi, 130instrument. If that helps out anyone. ExpressJet told me right then and there if I got the job or not.
