In Sept. you posted a question asking what to study for on the ExpressJet interview? Something doesn't pass the sniff test based on your previous posts...

Weren't you the one interested in working at Endeavor Airlines, GoJet, Silver, Piedmont and Martinair?

If you didn't know, ExpressJet has one of the best contract and work rules in the regional industry.

The only thing I can assume about you is you got shot down at the interview, i.e, Express Jet decided you were not a good fit for them!!!!

That being said, good luck with GoJet and Pinnacle and all the other regionals that you will get on with.

Maybe slight off topic but not quite but lets say someone gets class dates at both Eagle and XJT, in what circumstance would it be smarter to choose Eagle over XJT or vice versa?

Also you do not need 121 time to get to a major. There was a guy in my new hire class at UA that was all part 91 flew citations, and I'm sure there are more than just him hired in the last year.

Read my entry puppet-I said prior 121 or corporate/mil...:rolleyes:

In no circumstance should anyone choose Eagle over any other regional save maybe Endeavour.

Xjt def over eagle. Way better contract and whoever said it is stagnant here? I've moved up 100 slots this year and I'm CRJ, let alone even more on ERJ and continuous hiring behind, this with majors just only starting to ramp up now.

Sure, I moved 100 numbers las month at eagle. 700 numbers up since I got hired in 2010.

Everything is relative, Eagle will keep losing CAs indefinitely to AA. Also add the ones that goes to other places. We are losing about 50 pilots a month or more.

Not because it have the "better contract" now it means it will have it tomorrow. We signed a 8 year contract, Xjet is in negotiations and wait soon to get whipsaw it with Skywest and other places.

There's no better regional. All of them are crappy, everything depends where he is willing to live and which one gives them the best options for him.

There are much worse places to be than here. Could it be better? Yes, but it could be a LOT worse. I'm in my 4th year and still enjoy going to work.
