Still remember hoping in those 15mins after block in crew trackers would not make their appearance on the jetway on day 4.
Those BRO overnights had the great taco place behind the hotel, good times over there!
Damn shame, but knew sooner or later it would get the axe. I can only hope at some point everyone can find employment quickly, especially those with families who have built their life around xjt.

And to add to memory lane, how about the JetBlue flying that we did in 2007 out of JFK. We also bailed out Frontier/Lynx in the same timeframe. Our temporary LAX flying in 2007- was also just a planned stopgap to hold gates for another delta regional who couldn’t do it for a while because of a contract clause. Recently we have bailed out the other regionals that can’t perform. I guess we’re like a hooker - we fill the gaps on demand but then get kicked to the curb.

PHOENIX - An airline pilot is accused of stalking a flight attendant and pepper spraying her inside her car in Tempe.
John Phillip Rovenstine, a pilot for Express Jet Airlines, followed the victim, a flight attendant for American Airlines, from an employee parking lot at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to a home in Tempe on March 30, according to court documents.
He then allegedly used pepper spray on the victim and began searching for her car keys in an "apparent effort to start the vehicle and leave with her," documents said.
The victim yelled for help and later told police the pilot tried to silence her screams by placing his hand over her mouth. A neighbor heard the woman's screams and stepped in to help, according to documents.
Records say the woman told police she feared that the man planned to rape or kill her
Rovenstine fled the area before police arrived, according to documents, but later contacted police to "give his side of the story." He told police he wanted to take the woman somewhere private, but did not intent to hurt her.
He was arrested and later charged with stalking, unlawful imprisonment, and assault.
Paperwork indicates that Rovenstine is from Texas and met the victim through a former roommate. He reportedly told the victim via social media that he "sees her as a great potential wife."
Express Jet declined to comment on whether or not the pilot was still able to fly with the airline, citing company policy against discussing personnel issues.
Calls to a recorded jail hotline indicated that the pilot had been released.
The pilot's next scheduled court date is April 7.
