I think that closing the doors will be our fate. The only people left after a furlough will be 18 year captains and 8 year FOs. All getting 4 weeks vaca and max 401k match and defined contribution. I’ve said it a million times but some people on here don’t grasp the finances of that. This place is surely doomed, any corporate finance person has surely already crunched the numbers.

I hate to see XJet going through this. I’m wishing you all the best. What was one of the best regionals at one time has been completely beaten down. Skywest was the worst thing to happen to XJet, and now this. It’s sad to see. Hang in there.

You should have been aware of that when you came aboard, whatever airline you’re at. You sound more like an entitled individual, that you deserve more. Why haven’t you moved on if you were so dissatisfied at XJT?

Im not a one dimensional person I have many more employable skills than just being a pilot, this career is fun but its not my existence.

Not me, I still have a future ahead of me and a reduced income is better than no income because no one is hiring for the foreseeable future. Flame away...
