I have read several threads about XO Jet but have not seen info on the schedule they offer.

Does anyone have an idea what type of schedule they offer? I noticed they added a lot of domiciles throughout the country, but I am still wondering if it is a 7/7 schedule. If it is 7/7 are you on call or are you flying the entire 7?

Thanks for the information.

8 on and 6 off
or if you live out in the sticks like a few of us it's
15 on and 13 off
or if you are in or going to the middle east it's
28 on and 26 off (its a little more complicated than this)
This has actually been offered to domestic as well but no over ride in pay.

As far as being out the entire time, just plan on it. If they do not call you or you end up in your home town then you scored.

AND IT'S XOJET

Easy, no need to yell..... it was a simple typo.

What are typical days/trips like? Number of duty hours/flight hours, number of legs, and so on?

Thanks for the information.

Who knows?
It can be all day in the Hilton gym or a 14 hour duty day with 10 hours of scheduled flying. No way to tell. If a pop up trip comes up and you are close, it's yours. Just be ready. (unless it's is some unique international trip with permits and the like)

UM, we are hiring from all over. To say that we are focusing in one area in not accurate. We just hired some from the West Coast and PHX area. What's more important is what you can bring to us.

Were you live will dictate the schedule you are on. See above posts.

The company is named after XO Cognac, the CEO's favorite, I would imagine. It represents the finest grade cognac in the world and lends itself to the operational excellence of XOJET, Inc.

Default why Touw?

It kind of makes me sick to my stomach that Touw stepped down... nevermind who replaced him. It's like he blew up on the scene with this marvelous new company; a shining light on a bleak landscape littered with incompetent management and the carnage of the companies left in their wake. A new company, something like the young and successful fractionals, but better. Modern. Brilliant. A new Mecca. Like a Tony Stark of private business aviation. He quietly put together his machine, building the model from scratch for years with innovative concepts and ideas never before utilized. He unveiled it to the world and we all marveled at its brilliance.

And then, just when his creation is on the verge of really showing us what it can do, he.... steps down? wt*? What the hell's gonna happen now?!

I need a drink.
