I'm shocked to say this, but overall everything I'm seeing/reading leads me to believe things are turning around and much better than what they used to be. Heck, dare I say be a decent place to work?
Morale seems to be going down at XJT. I don't know why so many go there unless it's that it's what everyone else has done for years. It's not somewhere I'd hate to be stuck at, but there are better looking options in the current market. We will see how true that is when I pull the trigger. I have yet to hear of any future orders of large RJs by XJT. It's no secret that CRJ200s and 145s are on their way out. Things look bleak. I was "told" which is probably wrong information that I did not verify, that XJT is operating on a continual renewing two year agreement with united for 50 seat flying. |

Going on 3.5 months I've been waiting for a reply. Been waiting since mid-August. Guess I'll just keep calling every day or other day.

What's the training department like? Do you guys do AQP for recurrents? |

Did you leave Silver? I recently hit the silk, have a class date with XJT soon, but I might hold out for my Mesa class date.

Yeah because as a 2nd or 3rd year CA at YV I won't gross more than a 2nd or 3rd year FO at XJT or anything..... I don't know why I even respond to you.
A bad choice can have one pilot left seat in a E175/CR7/9 and the other reserve FO getting short called for 7 legs outta ATL in the CR2 |
At one time Mesa was stocked full of 50 seat airplanes too. And it has been a long hard tortuous experience since they started parking them. Several hundred pilots were put on the street. Several hundred more were downgraded. Several hundred endured grossly substandard pay for years. My life has been turned upside down because of it.
I'm glad we're through it now, and things are looking up, but I feel bad for pilots who hold seniority at companies that must face a similar metamorphosis. No gloating here, and besides, just about the time you think you can get away with gloating - BAM, the tables will turn again. One of the things that makes Mesa crews great in my opinion is that we don't act like d-i-c-k-s with black ties. No matter what happens, I advocate for being known continually as a down to earth pilot group. Go ahead and flame I don't give a crap! |
