I took a gample coming to the company I am at too. Although they had just signed their 10 year deal so I knew the company had a pretty good chance of hanging around for a bit. I'm all about calculated risks vs. rolling the dice with my eyes shut.
People going to XJT now are taking a big risk, IMO. You could end up on the street or you could end up at a company that starts its' own branded flying and ends up being the next SWA. Perspective employees should think about that vs. XJT's current 2 year upgrade time and good work rules.
First of all every job at there is a gamble. Second you don't work at XJT so you have no idea what is going on here or what is planned. You can speculate all day long, but we will all wait and see. We all get it you hate XJT. Ok enough. We turned you down for a job now you come on here and say how terrible a place it is.
If you know so much than why don't you go into management. You are smart enough to know that there is no money being a pilot. The only people that make money are the bosses. So quit bashing XJT and apply for a managers position somewhere.
