Thanks I appreciate it!! |
I really hope that XJET can post a profit with their branded flying but with the current price of fuel it might be challenging to continue that with out a change in fleet type. Any word if XJET plans to get larger planes for this flying?

If we got larger planes to do this flying, then we would be competing with much bigger players out there...companies who could bring in a 737, if ya get my drift. |

This is nothing more than our company shooting themselves in the foot. Watch next summer they are going to be short CA and FOs. XJT typically bases everything off of CAL, which is a problem. Just because CAL slows down stuff doesnt mean MANY of us arent leaving to other companies other than CAL. DAL, NWA, UAL just started really hiring and alot of people are getting called and have left or are leaving. The branded flying is doing fine and exceeding expectations so that has nothing to do with this. Carry on

I know I was a ramper with them, they let me have time off to go build my flight hours for them, when I applied, I was told about the hiring slow down and it may be best to pursue other interest.
I wish Express Jet all the best, and they in my book are a world class operation. Hope it works out for you, or maybe they could combine with Eagle to become Megaopolis Regional Airline feeder man, with ambitions to take over the moon - the moon!!!!! LOL But seriously, could an Express Jet Eagle merger be a reality? Similiar fleets, etc. I think in 2008 there is going to be alot of bloodletting, record high fuel prices, a reccession, its' gonna be rough. maybe size in this instance may be of some help, then again I always wondered why airlines won't buy an oil refinery and set their own prices. Just a thought. |

Because speculators set the prices, not the refineries.

It would be nice to see some regional consolidation. Then we could tell to the majors what they will pay us to fly their routes. Sound good?
Oh wait, the sad but true news is that there is always someone willing to do the work for less money. |
