Expressjet Flow Thru??????
I was not aware that Expressjet had a "flow-thru". Is this true?? Also I didn't think the future there was too bright either. My bullsh!tometer is flagging in the red.
Anyone?
Anyone?

It's become standard for regional airline managements to promise the world to young, hopeful pilots. They simply have to in order to compete for the few and ever dwindling number of available applicants. But, just like the picture of that perfect McDonalds burger, it looks good on paper, but rarely, if ever arrives in your face looking like the promise in the picture.

But, really, that's a blatant lie. I counted quite a few out and out lies in that q&a. These people need to stop leading these kids on with these lies. But in a way they could just be prepping them for what it's gonna be like on the line, and being represented by alpa--- being lied to daily.
Hell, on the other hand, Mabee this guy(the one answering the questions) thinks there is a flow thru, and that there are 3-4 year upgrades there--he doesn't look too sharp.
I give up.

"The BEST flow thru to the majors of ALL regional airlines".
That is a LIE. Not a mistake, a slip up, an accident. Trying to con some uninformed new guy into coming there with such a thing really doesn't speak well for an organization. With this new interwebz thing everyone knows better. It's both pathetic and sad that someone would actually go on social media with their picture and say such things, knowing there is a pack of wolves over here at APC that will have him for lunch.

My guess is that he wasn't using "flow through" in the technical sense (he didn't say "flow through agreement") but in the general sense, that Xjet has more pilots leaving for majors than the other regionals. It's true that when most pilots hear "flow through" they probably think of formal, contractual arrangements between mainline and regional carriers, but I think it could also be used in the sense of pilots coming and going, or "flowing through" to mainline. Disclaimer: I'm just a line pilot, so I don't really know, that's just my guess.

It just depends on what their interests and needs are and since a large contingent of new young pilots will believe most anything, it's a viable strategy. Caveat Emptor.
