Essentially, yes to all of the above. Fired well-liked management folks. Changed schedule offerings. Came out with a new “enhanced” pay package that changed salary into “soft” money for hitting certain milestones. Folks are leaving in droves. While there has always been folks leaving for greener pastures, now there are folks leaving just to get away from the toxic environment, and hoping there are greener pastures. BIG change from 3 years ago.

We were all blindsided by this. I wasn’t looking to leave, but now I am strongly considering my next move. I have friends at JE and I certainly wouldn’t want the same to happen to them, but as much as I hate to say it JE is right where XOJ was 2 years ago.

My recent exit survey from a company that I was looking forward to staying with for a few more yrs after I retired from SWA. VJ and poor leadership CHOICES as you will read is the cancer that is destroying XO.

In a nutshell, XO was at the pinnacle of the non-Netjets Part 135 world, with a fantastic pilot group who enjoyed good pay and benefits, a super, employee-friendly corporate culture , and happy passengers. Pilots were waiting to get on there like fanboys standing outside of the Apple Store on a new iPhone launch day. Then, they got acquired by Malta-owned VistaJet, who took a wrecking ball to XO’s corporate culture and closed their KMCC operation and moved to FXE, turning them into another “South Florida Part 135 Operation”.. =(…. IMHO.
