Not oxymoronic, just moronic.

Hmmmm - I had an ERJ class date for September. I got a call canceling that yesterday. ****? Anybody know why they have canceled ERJ classes.

I did just switch over to a CRJ class. Am I a dumbass for going to XJT now? I do have class dates with a few other regionals as back-up plans.

Before you get swamped by doom and gloomers.... When is your crj date? Regionals are a crap shoot right now I would take the first class that works for your commute. I am xjt crj and it is not my first regional, i will ***** about it just like everyone else but I like it way better here than other regionals

You will be fine. Be glad you switched.

That depends on what you choose to believe... XJT has over 100 aircraft scheduled to come off contract through March of 2015, and unless United corrects the rates to profitable flying Inc will allow them to be parked. United owns the ERJs so no telling what they would do with them....

If you have any class date with Compass, PSA, Mesa or even TSA.... Run... Don't walk... To that classdate.

Yes. Don't even bother to get into this industry. It is not worth it, go pursue something else. But if you do get into this industry, have a budget that will sustain you on 75 hours of FO pay. I have done that and even tho I make CA pay, I can survive on 75 hours FO pay. Try to be frugal until you are well established at a company that sells it's own tickets.

Don't even bother waiting for a class at XJT. Just go to someplace else at this point. I myself is leaving and I haven't been here a year yet.
