I've noticed a lot of you applying and being offered the job have a plethora of experience and thousands on thousands of hours of flight experience. Does a guy with under 2k, an ATP and a type rating have a chance at all? I sent my application in a few weeks ago, and thinking I should contact someone with some time updates, in hopes this might get me on their massive radar of applicants

The group I interviewed with had substantially more experience (around 4-5K TT, some around 15,000+ TT). I did end up getting the job offer though. I hope this helps and will encourage you to keep updating. Take Care.

The pay, work rules, and QOL at most of the regionals are substantially better than what it used to be so it’s not a bad option. Just a lot of factors go into deciding which regional would personally fit you the best (region of where you live, etc). Ive only been in the industry for a few years so maybe someone whose been with XO for a while can give you that answer/advice. I came across/became interested in XO after already a year in at the regionals so I didn’t make my regional decision based off of XO. Sorry I couldn’t be more help. Best of luck and hope you get the opportunity to work for XO in the future.
