Expressjet Hiring Rumor
Let's do some rumor control on the forum, the very concept of which is a classic oxymoron.
So here's whats floating around:
-Expressjet recently wanted 48 pilots for a class. They found 13. One of which had a few "driving" related issues (RBTL) and the other whom was well, rather long in the tooth to put it kindly.
-Eagle and Republic are offering 10K to join.
-Eagle rep was at a Expressjet new hire hotel offering 1K to jump ship.
So whats the deal out there from the regional angle on hiring and the future of these regionals to find qualified crew after August 2?
I mean really, 150K at Riddle to make 20K the first year after you get 1500 hours somehow. Who wouldn't jump at that?

Take your class based on bases. Assuming we get a joint contract it will be the same. CRJ pay is slightly more right now, but your splitting hairs with pay concerns it's so small between erj/crj. Take the class for other reasons. Remember seniority is everything get in your class now! Good luck! Where do you want to live btw
