Evening everyone, first post here but I’ve read through most of this forum for quite a while. I’ve noticed that plenty of people applying and getting offers from XO have time way over the mins. I know their mins are posted but what are they generally hiring at these days? I still have 6 months on my contract at a 135, expecting about 1800TT with 800 multi turbine (all CE525 SIC) once May rolls around. Just curious if they’re eyeing those with more TT or in larger cabin aircraft. Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences, it’s great to see everyone’s encouragement here.

It’s best to apply now and see what happens my friend. All they can say at this point in your career is “NO Thank You. Please reapply in ......”
On the other hand, they might surprise you.
Bottom Line? APPLY !!!!!

Totally agree with others above. While most have time well above mins, one of the guys I’m starting Indoc with next week was hired as a CFI with about 2000 TT. My first impressions were that he would be a great guy to fly with, and make a great member of the XO team.
When you meet the mins...APPLY!

Got the interview done in CA this week. As reported by others. Very pleasant and professional experience and everyone I encountered seems genuinely happy there. Don't know if I got the job or not yet (takes about a week), but I'm glad I had the experience anyway.
Anybody that's currently there have any updates on how they're enjoying it (or not)?

Thanks for the great replies everyone! Glad to have your advice and to see that I’m not terribly far out of reach from them once I’m ready to apply. I know they want the ATP written done, but does it have to be for the unrestricted once you get the PIC type? I only ask since I just turned 22 and won’t be eligible for the unrestricted ATP until next December. Thanks in advance!

XOJet or a King Air 350i PIC position with gama?? I have the CJO with gama already and am interviewing with XOJET. No doubt thankful for any opportunity, but I want to make an educated decision, which is tough when I don't know anyone flying at XOJET. TIA!

When do you have to respond to the Gama CJO vs. when is your XO interview?

I would definitely choose XOJet over Gama, you will enjoy a much better quality of life here flying a X or Challenger 300 over a KA350. We have had a few Wheels Up guys jump ship and come fly with us.
