Don't work there....can't really tell ya. But with any interview preparation is paramount. PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL. The more you look, act, and speak the part...the more likely you are to get the part. I would get on aviationinterviews.com and use their gouges. Also, if you know anyone currently doing Part 121, ask them rules of thumb they use in every day ops (descent planning, crossing restrictions, etc.) Having a 121 guy quiz me before my interview is probably what got me the job I have today.

As far as XJT's future...I would think it's pretty secure as of right now. They have already found flying for some of those aircraft and I would assume they should be able to find more. Plus, hiring has not slowed down there since that announcement which tells me they are still looking for pilots. I know I've recommended XJT to several of my friends. If you had a choice between Colgan or XJT...I'd take XJT any day and twice on sundays. The XJT guys can help you more though...
