Question for current XOJetters:
Do you typically have enough time on layovers to exercise? In other words, are your layovers usually more than 10 to 11 hours?
If I'm working 8/6, I want to be able to work out on the road.
Thanks.

It varies but I would say I usually get at minimum a good 4 solid workouts on a on a rotation. Just depends on your motivation level.

Most of the time, it's easy to fit in workouts. On the rare rotation, it's a challenge.

Is xo still only hiring people with 3500+ total time? The website lists 2000 hours. Just trying to get a grasp for what people are referring to as low time. Often in 135 it refers to 135 ifr mins, so just trying to get my bearings on this.

There was a guy in my class that was just north of 2000 hours. The hiring process seems to be more about personality, and if you're a good fit here rather than flight time.

Was sort of figuring that. Thanks for the info/confirmation!

Lately it's been anything from 2000ish hours and no jet time to retired airline folks with 20,000+. Personality is more important.

Unfortunately, it may not be what you want to hear. The best route would be to get your ATP and an internal recommendation.
