ExpressJet may have the shiny E-Jets but the first few months will most likely go to the top and most senior pilots...good luck getting on that.

Morale at XJT is at an all time high, substantial rumors of a staple or flow with United and we are most likely going to Be giving Commute air a majority of our 145s. We just reserved 60 more 175s to bring the total in 2019/2020 to 85 plus 20 +crjs and 100 145s. The future is bright here.
Commute air was a good option 6+ months ago not anymore. People who left for Commute air are coming back to XJT

Now that’s some funny stuff. You should do stand-up comedy. Hilarious.

This is laughable.
Either way, any person who leaves a regional for another regional, only to go back to the previous regional is a poor example of “good decision making.” Maybe we should all follow them...

Now that’s some funny stuff. You should do stand-up.....back to XJT....Hilarious....yes, leaving to go back to XJT......I’ve also heard that Pizza-Hut drivers now have a flow to Delta and United is buying Southwest. Must be true, I read it on the internet. /QUOTE]

Funny? Give my stand up routine about 3 months and then after the announcements let’s see what’s funny. Go on FAA.gov. Look at the 60 new N numbers that were reserved for XJT 12/28/2018. As far as flow/staple. Talk to UAL MeC and while I was in training a year ago 2 pilots were comin back from Commute air


Believe it or not I do t really care I’m just trying to give a new person some perspective instead of all the negativity that’s posted on here.

No harm, no foul. No CommutAir pilots going to XJT. Just sayin’.

Can someone from CommutAir answer this question. I was only on reserve for a couple of weeks (some time ago) and I don't remember the answer.

Watch, you have to remember that most of our FO's do not sit reserve very long.

At the interview a few weeks ago they said there adding 40 or maybe 60 145s.

The fact that you said United is giving all of its 145s to Commutair makes what you say suspect. Also, if it were true, that would mean Commutair is quadrupling in size- making it the best place to go.

Bovine scatology aside,

Jacburn: I thanks for the reply. I’ll be living in base but I guess a couple months of airport reserve wouldn’t be bad. Still trying to make this decision.
