I applied and got the not qualified email a few days ago. I guess they are getting picky, and guess my resume didn't stand out. Oh well. Not sure if I wanted to go there after nearly two years here at OH.

I'm sorry to ask this, but who is OH and who is XJ? If it's not obvious, I don't work for an airline yet.

OH is Comair and XJ is Mesaba. Comair furloughed a bunch, and evidently a lot of the guys (and gals) who were unfortunate enough to get f'ed by Comair are looking to get on at Mesaba.

Thank you. It's strange that XJ is Mesaba and not Express Jet. Could anyone shed some light on the Pinnacle rumor listed earlier in the thread? Any good news is appreciated.
