-Miami
-Dallas
-New York
-Washington DC
-Seattle
You need to live within 100 miles of your assigned city. Not sure if that's going to be based on distance to a specific airport, I'm sure more clarification will come out. As it is now, it's a safe assumption that most airports within 100 miles of the city will be considered part of that domicile. Tier 1 domiciles are eligible for either our new 8 on 6 off schedule or the 15 on 13 off schedule.
Tier 2 domiciles are only for the 15/13 schedule and will be considered on an individual basis. Basically, you'll need to live near an airport that has satisfactory airline service for it to be considered Tier 2.
Vacation:
8 days off per year for years 1-4
16 days off per year after year 5
Sick time:
5 days off per year.
Pay:
1st year PIC 90k
14 year PIC 145k
extra days are paid at 1.5 day rate, based on 205 (or 195) days per year.
(The pay scales are incredibly difficult to explain without looking at the tables. What they accomplish though are yearly raises based on annual reviews, and then even larger raises if certain company performance goals are met. If you are doing your job, you'll get a raise. If you're doing your job and the company has met its goals, then you'll get an even bigger raise. If the goal is not met, pay does NOT go down. I know, it's clear as mud, but that's what it is.)

Also, if you're an airline guy, you're going to face an uphill battle getting your foot in the door. This might change as the applicant pool goes down, but they have been burned in the past a few times and there's an unwritten standing order against airline folks.

From what I have read, the company currently operates something like 20 Citation Xs and it has 30 more Citation Xs on order with 20 Challenger 300s also on order (with 50 Challenger 300s on option). I am not certain of the exact numbers but those are close. XO Jet is also backed by some very well regarded private equity firms (Texas Pacific Group formerly owned pieces of Continental Airlines and America West) and very wealthy people from Silicon Valley. This company is not underfunded.
Check the following link of airborne Citation Xs and look for the ones with PT in the tail number (those are XO Jet airplanes). I counted ten flying at the same time a few days ago. You can click on the flight number and check out where they have flown and laid over:
