Yet XJT is toast? I think not.

Guys large businesses rarely just close doors (Enron the exception). They will file Chapter 11 to restructure prior to doing anything like that. If anything was going to happen, XJT would be absorbed into Skywest. I’m not saying they are doing very well or even making money but there is normally a gradual shut down. I wouldn’t read too much into buying a sim or repainting planes, they will continue business as usual until something major happens. I being reading about XJT going out of business since 2002. Just do a search on this forum or others, it’s been doom and gloom for 16 years.

No desire to try again? Am I supposed to feel sorry for someone else's lack of persistence after coming up short the first time? I don't.
I have flown with people who don't have a degree and still won't spend the money on interview prep, or say they won't even bother dressing up for the interview.
If the pool is tiny because people don't want to improve their situation badly enough, then so be it. It'll be a shorter wait for those who actually do.
