For the guys on the X they upgrade before the end of their first year so that pay bump helps get them to the 90+ mark.

There's also the fuel savings bonus each quarter that's another 3-5k for the year.

And of course the inevitable late go home day or extended day that will happen.

I interviewed near the end of Oct. HR called me 2 weeks later, I returned call and left message. Never another peep. Meantime, got a choice 91 job near home. 3 nights ago, email from HR with congrats for a Jan 6 class. Too bad it was a little too late. But glad it worked out for me!

I can see where it’s possible on the XO side, I thought he was referencing the VJ side.

Wow...Dec 20th email for a Jan 6th class? That sounds like a quick turn unless you told them during the interview that you were available for short notice. Congrats on your 91 gig!

91 comes and goes quickly. I get the appeal I honestly do. I was in that same boat. Poof, overnight, it was gone and I was out of a job. Glad it's what you wanted to do, I wouldn't have taken it and stayed with XO. money is great and all but I will never make another work decision based on money. It bit me pretty bad with the 91 flight department closing up shop over night. 91 gigs are liabilities. They don't generate income. Only cost(s). Best of luck to you sir.

True that! And thanks for the kudos on the new gig. I did not go in with the old "rose colored glasses". I too, have lost 3 really great 91 jobs over the last 25+ years. I'm nearing the end of my flying career now, this new job is a consortium of multiple HNWI's that have "old money" that should outlast my medical.

XO has been great to me during the pre and post interview process, I wish them the best of luck with the move to FL. I would certainly recommend them to someone hungry to fly and desire a tolerable schedule.

Got the call, coming to XO next month! Any practical tips for an ex- regional guy going to fractional/135? e.g. will my stealth air 22" beater work for 8 day trips? Qc15 with u fly Mike good? That kind of thing...

Congrats! I'd say most of us have that same luggage of yours. And the headset will work as well.
