If this contract is non concessionary and adds to pay we should have no problem attracting new hires. New pilots are chasing new planes like kids to candy. With movement and upgrades I see this being the start of a turnaround for XJT. I could also see several of Mesa's 175's coming off lease over the next couple years coming this way as well. Time will tell but hopefully this is a VERY positive step for Expressjet.

The contract will be a big step, but the nuances of contracts beyond pay rates aren't the biggest draw. We may not be able to fill classes until upgrades go down significantly. The new hire bonus of $10,000 probably needs to be bumped up to $20,000 to be competitive.

Any idea of how these aircraft are going to be allocated throughout the system? I’m looking at options in ORD and, to be honest, ExpressJet was at the bottom of my list. I’m interested in what’s developing ... not sure what United’s short and long term goals with XJT are, but something is up.
