It sure did but, everyone was expecting immediate sunshine/rainbows/unicorns once the purchase went thru. There will he growing pains, time to right the ship. Remember SKW/ASA mgmt had the past 7 years to destroy Xjet.

Not really a fall, but a code-share with LCC tribes that got out of hand.

And?

The announcement for 600 new hires was made in January. It takes a few months for those new hires to even get their affairs in order to start training. For my part I was ready to role and it still took 6 weeks from when I interviewed to when I started training.

And how many left in that same time period. Net gain/loss is what matters.

That’s PART of what matters. A very important part. But ANY sort of movement that results in lowering the upgrade time is going to critical for XJT’s future.

According to this you’ve hired over 350 this year.
Congrats on the first flight though.

Fake/misleading news. It's under 200. That's still more than we've done for the last 4-5 yrs total though.

Yes and that’s exactly why it’s important to keep an eye on changes over time, versus merely taking a snapshot at any single point in time.

Getting to 600 pilots this year has never been considered realistic anyways nor is it “do or die”. What’s really important are hiring numbers are way up, upgrade times are way down and we have a realistic shot at growth and financial stability.

If this continues we’ll easily clear 600 pilots next year.
