Delay between Indoc and Systems
 

Anyone know if there is still 2 weeks between the end of Indoc and the start of systems?

A few new hires in 3 classes after mine were starting to range from 2 weeks to a month.

Heard it was down to 1 week or none. Think a class started today so tbd.
Not a bad thing perse as long as you use it to study flows.

I thought the crj were to be done this month so that should help?

I’m starting on the 15th so I was just curious what to expect. Haven’t heard much about from the company yet.

If you get 145 training, I guarantee you will have some kind of delay. There are people from my class who were hired in May who are still getting delays. For 175 training, I'm not entirely sure but I would guess there are less delays in 175 training.

They both have about a 1 week break in between indoc and systems. Things are starting to move along now that the CRJ folks are near completion of their transition. Either way you are getting paid to study.

CRJ transitions are through but there is a shortage of flight instructors. I’ve had sims cancelled on 3 separate occasions due to no instructor coverage. Each cancellation set me back 4 days to a week.

CRJ 200's
 

Were the CRJ 200s from Skywest, did they take them back when ExpressJet sold??

They were ASA 200’s. And yes OO took some of them.

Those planes were leased to Expressjet at the end of last year. But they were in such poor shape that XJT decided to turn them back to Skywest and focus just on ERJs and 175s.

Almost through. Should be completely done with sims by end of July.

To further clarify, they were once owned by ASA, if I’m not mistaken. In which case they were transferred to Skywest airlines and then leased back to Expressjet (ASA).

Either SKY Inc management are geniuses (evil genius) or XJT/ASA management is a bunch of morons.

A healthy dose of BOTH.

They were in fine shape. Attrition on the CRJ side, and 3 fleet types made it unmanageable... so they somehow got out of the 5 year lease after 6 months on the CRJ’s. Who knows what the real deal was, but thats what i gather....

They will all be done by late August. A few, less than 5, may be done early September depending upon scheduling.

How is ManAir doing so far??

Who’s ManAir?

The owners of XJT of course

I thought they owned goJets.

I thought it would rain man(n)a from heaven once SKYW is finally out of the picture. No?

Nope. OO is still doing their IT for them. A little short on cash I guess

Not sure, but I saw the new paint scheme on the 175 a couple days a ago! Looked great!! I think I remember hearing you say "you dont even have 175's on property" Well, i have seen 5 or 6 now and i hear 2 more on the way. They keep spitting them out of the factory like you wouldn't believe... lol

How's blowjets doing so far?

7 on line, #10 leaves the factory Friday

I hear the 550 is too fat...

Heard the same thing.

Too fat how? Scope limits?

Weight. Interior mods are creating weight issues that severly limit the range.

And how do you know that??
