His point is that the previous poster said that "nobody is jumping ship to other regionals from XJT." He was merely pointing out that this is not correct, that he had a few in his class at SKW. I had one in my RAH class as well. Nothing more.

Hmmm...any idea why they left? There has been very little movement in the FO side here, but I have heard of FOs leaving so they could get based closer to home. Though, I know of two guys who commute to IAH from SLC, so I don't get it. One told me he wanted to go to an airline with a union. Cheers. :D

Now I am not agreeing with them but two of them said "they see the writing on the wall". The other is from SLC and sick of the commute to Newark.

Interesting...welp, I stand corrected to an extent. FOs making lateral moves are very rare though, and makes me wonder how much crackpipe intake they had. Too much is bad for the health. :)

Assuming they're senior to me, all I can say is "laaater!"

They're probably the same kind of guys that "see the writing on the wall" every where they go and make multiple jumps at every little hiccup at a company. If that's their attitude then good riddance to bad rubbish.

I'm one of those xjt fo's doing the SLC IAH commute. I must admit, early on, it crossed my mind to jump ship to SKW. I hate the commute. But no way I'm starting over at another regional. I'd rather leave the industry. Now, jumping ship to NetJets, that's something I'd do to stop this commute.
