It's all good. I made the cut just fine- G79XX, but a whole slew of my friends were furloughed. Got IAH with about 100 below me. Fortunately I was also awarded a 40 hour line to help reduce the stress of commuting from SFO. It's sad that we'll never get to see that MRY overnight again! 
Oh well, hopefully those 314 will all be back at work soon.

Funny, you mention not being able to stand straight up in the airplanes. Not ONCE in the 18 months did I ever hear one of our customers make that complaint. And they weren't a guest getting a free ride!

I'd like to add my thanks for everyone's kind words, although I only can accept credit by association. I never had the privilege of flying Branded (and I'm kicking myself now for not doing it), but it was a real treat to go to "work" and hear nothing but positive comments about it from both management and crews, as well as the the stories about the satisfied customers. Thanks again, everyone!

Sorry to see it go guys. Have many friends from the old "pilot mill" that are flying for XJet.
You are all good guys and I hope you will get great jobs soon. Pilot shortage is coming again an in a few years we will need to be stronger than ever to prevent Management and Congress from pulling our rights away from us.

I agree! Good luck to the men and women of Xjet! IM not the type that likes to say prayers, but you guys will be in my thoughts and prayers and I hope and wish you all secure a better outcome in the not too distant future.
The job you guys was oustanding, and that cannot go unanswered. The law of reciprocity does kick in for folks of your caliber.

After flying/instructing at XJT for almost 2 years, it is sad to see those lines of business dry up...... Though I am no longer at XJT, I wish everyone my best. Some of you I may have trained or met in recurrents so I know lots of those affected, but keep flying and your eyes open for new opportunities.....
