Gojet might be a better option right now over xjt.You can upgrade quickly and move your career forward. Seems like the fo's at XJT are forced to make a lateral move in order to move their career forward, if they aren't lucky enough to get picked up by an LLC.Being A 9 or 10 year rj fo in this environment would be a hard pill to swallow.

I was simply stating that at this juncture G7 would offer better career progression than xjt.I don't work at G7 but if I had to choose right now between the two it would be G7.

The most important thing is driving to work. The second most important is the contract, just in case you get stuck somewhere inadvertently. Majors hire FO's. They know what has happened to the industry. I could never tell someone to work at G7 over XJT, Envoy, Endeavor, or Skywest unless they were going to DRIVE to work.

The future if XJT is to always be a "1-2 year extension " airline. And i bet ASA follows the sam path as there Delta contract expires. SkyWest is doing the same thing. (Except for the 175's). So reality is you will live the rest of your career thinking 2 years out is the end of it at XJT...

Skywest 175s CPAs (United and Alaska) are for 12 years.
