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.

Trust me, he's not on vacation. His plate is always full, and there will be plenty more great things to come.

NO pilots
The ones laid off are office workers and would have been laid off even in a good economy. They were simply a surplus weighing down the payroll and not contributing much to the results. Trimming the fat I guess.
Remember, the whole ideology of XO is to reduce unnecessary costs and pass it on to the costumers, while at the same time keep employees happy (obviosuly this won't include the office rats let go). Paul T studied the bizmodel of SWA and RyanAir closely, among other things I'm sure, for several years before actually launching the operation. Lets just hope XO will stay more towards SWA than RyanAir.
If you hang at FI you will find more info on this matter there.

Keep updating and networking, this isnt the best time to get hired anyway unless your unemployed. XO is starting to show signs from this economy.
