Hey ExpressJet pilots, I’m interested in hearing about your experience. Company culture is most important to me, I.e. safety mindset and overall treatment, and of course I’d like to hear honest assessments of general quality of life considerations. I’d appreciate both pros and cons.
For your reference, I’m a current TSA line pilot, faced with the future shutdown, a 145 FO thinking about following the metal. I haven’t talked to recruiters yet. I know they’ll sell themselves hard, plus I don’t want to get the ball rolling anywhere just yet, but I do want the good, bad, and ugly, please and thanks.

Central Florida, I usually commute out of MCO. But I’m from Texas and want to go back. So I’m looking at IAH or DFW (obviously with other regional operators) for domiciles. IAH is roughly the same commute I do now. I don’t really want to do ORD but that’s negotiable. The other ExpressJet domiciles would be 2-leg commutes which I will avoid at all costs.

If you’re getting waterski routes along with the wings, then ORD might see a decent boost instead of shrinkage. DEN is the best base for us imho. Love the flying out there. For TSA, DEN and ORD are really the big ops, with the most lines in DEN. STL has a fair amount of lines too, but that base is where all the very high seniority pilots go to glide for years.

I think you have it figured out. There was talk of ORD shrinking before we found out the latest news. Overall it isn’t a bad place in my opinion but there are plenty of others who would disagree. Overall morale isn’t great right now with us losing the 175.
