Doesn't help seniority bidding, but pay will be much higher and DFW is able to get soon as a new hire
Is that so? Interesting.

I noticed that all the regionals will have booths at Oshkosh next month. I plan to visit and chat with each of the ones I am interested in. I would have no problem with XJT if it wasnt an 8 year upgrade

Just a heads up...it’s not an 8 yr upgrade at XJT. Last system bid the upgrade came down to 3yrs 7 months. It seems to be coming down more. You might have some old information.

Just to be clear, it is Skywest that gives industry credit and has a base in DFW. Not gonna quote upgrade times since they are highly subject to change. They've been as early as during new hire for an XJT guy who came over into ATL, and as more guys get hours that changes to over 3 years depending on domicile, so take every promise as a lie.
Don't know about XJT and what they would credit you towards your prior time,nor what bases they have or will have soon.

Pretty sure that xjt doesn’t credit anything for previous time. Just the bonus, plus an additional bonus for a type rating.

I’m not a Mesa recruiter, but you can get DFW CRJ FO out of training, do 200-300% open time trips, upgrade when you’re ready, and still be DFW based.

Don’t think any of the others can beat that.

They seem to like it. I’m on the Ejet so I can’t really say. Mesa flys the CRJ900 for AA out of DFW.
