Congrats to the lucky 96. We look forward to having you back on property.

F.A. I thought it was, what 6 months or 90 days. Besides, I already worked for XJET so I guess I have timed served, or I'll ask at the interview. Xjet let me take a leave of absence to build up my flight time. When I tried to come back of course they were no longer hiring pilots at the time. But I am very glad they remembered me, and the chance to get the hell out of the Midwest, man it is very tempting.

I'm just looking forward to not having to fly 30 year old props in the weather anymore.

I don't blame you ONE BIT on that one!!!!!!

Well since nobody has posted it yet, guess I will.

Via a Jetlink newsletter today, ExpressJet is recalling 32 more and opening an ORD base for 50-55 crews.

Congrats to us! I should be in this group of 32.

A "clarification" has been posted by someone on the pipe which was supposedly said by a FO rep (since the union would never actually say anything clearly themselves and only rely on pilots to post the **** they say on the phone when you call them)

They have 80 in class right now plus the 16 people already scheduled and an additional (new) 16 pilots are needed. That makes it 112 total.

So it's apparently 16 recalls, not 32. Good luck.

About 235.

But rumor has it (since the union wont say) that 112 recalls will mean something like 140-150 letters have been sent, with about 30% deferring.

I saw that. Sort of frustrating. Well, 16 or 32 recalls for now.. Any recalls are better than no recalls.

EDIT: Also supposedly they meant to say 110 crews in ORD. I'm gonna stop posting info since even when put out in a union email it is still inaccurate.

Well another email today.

It clarified that previously the company sent 125 letters to fill 80 spots. Now they are going to send 50 more letters to fill 32 spots, bringing the total recalls to 112.

Also, ORD will have 110 crews.

So it will reach me, which is very exciting. I am looking forward to flying above 12,000' again.
