Had AQP last week. We were told that it will be the Surface and that testing is ongoing.

I happened to fly with a CA in the test group and he had the Ipad, so I suppose it was a switch midway through the program. Interesting that EV and DL went that route. I suppose it's a matter of economics and the bottom line.

Software deal was around last year too.

I just interviewed and was offered a job at XJT flying he ERJ.

Is XJT (specifically XJT - not ASA, SkyWest, or SkyWest, Inc, etc.) slated to get 175's in the near future? Have they placed firm orders with a delivery date? I'm a bit concerned getting the ERJ having read that the majors want to get rid of the 50 seat planes.

What are the bases for XJT on the 135/145? They listed them on a PowerPoint during the interview, but wasn't given a handout on it and I don't recall them exactly. The XJT website and this website list all the domiciles regardless of equipment for XJT.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ERJ bases are EWR, IAD, CLE, ORD, MCI, IAH, and DEN.

Most new hire openings are in EWR and IAH recently. Anything is possible except DEN.

ERJ's and CR2s being parked over the next few years with no definite replacement. No 170/175s scheduled to be delivered to XJT at this time. Inc has several hundred on order with options for a couple hundred more along with the MRJ.

Negotiations to resume in April or May.

Hope that helps.

So, you are going to go to XJT, buy your own uniform. Not get paid in training, and they're parking aircraft with NO orders.

Can we get this guy on Dr. Phil so he can say, "What are you thinking?"

Forgot, you have to buy 3 Jepp. binders off the uniform lady for 60 bucks each or bring your own.

No pay...... NO WAY!!!
