I doubt it. I have friends who are Republicans, and all the chicken and beer in the world won't convince them to vote for Obama. I'm all for give and take, as long as we keep things rational. SmartPref throws all forms of rational out the window. Complete waste of the L-XJT MEC's time and resources.

If offered a class date would it be wise to take that offer? Currently flying a Saab with word of upgrade in next couple of months...
How is the overall vibe in the company. I know contact talks are under way. What about upgrade time currently... Also between compass and Expressjet where is best position in your eyes, I.E. waiting for a class date with compass in half a year or a immediate position with Expressjet into the CRJ?

"We think this is the biggest no brainer election for anyone who works in transportation that we have ever seen. If you read the Republican Party platform, it reads like a how-to manual of how to break unions"---Ed Wytkind President of the Transportation Trades Department, AFL-CIO

Shoot for the lifestyle you want right now!! PIC time on Saab or CRJ now days is pretty much the same, so go with lifestyle that will make you happy....with right connections you don't even need PIC time to move on to Majors or wherever you want to be!

Was told by one of my recruiter buddies yesterday that xjet is aiming to hire 70 next month assuming they can find enough qualified folks. Seems like a lot of people to hire for just anticipation of attrition.

This is good advice. 1000 hrs tpic wont be the ticket into a major but it rounds out your resume nicely. Try and check as many boxes as you can. Stay at the Saab operation until you upgrade and build PIC time and then jumpship to get 121 time. good luck!

Trip7,
Not to hijack a thread but since you brought politics into it...
I'll continue to vote what is best for the country with the belief that it will work out best for me in the end. You can continue to vote for your personal checkbook and hope it works out best for the country.
I'd rather my union and current profession go up in smoke than my country and the freedom to make the best life for myself and my family take a hit.
