Express Jet
 

Any news on interview dates?

Dunno but class starts Oct 2 for me:), Hey Buffalo I thought you got picked up by COlgan, and I also thought you got an email for an invite to Expressjet like back in July????????? I actually remember you getting an email even before I did!

Having trouble applying on their site, anyone have the same issue or know of a fax number to send a resume?

I had to cancel Colgan due to weddings and i havent heard back,

XJT at that time told me to reapply in 3 mos

problems online
 

yeah I kept getting wierd messages but I kept on trying, just keep refresshing the webpage, when your "my profile" page says :submitted for requisition: then it worked ;) PM if yeah have any questions

my home page still says screening

thats wierd
 

hmmm....... I would give it a day, well see, good luck, and Buffalo I missed my sisters wedding for the Colgan interview, you gotta do what you gotta do brotha, especially for XJT!

Pretty sure he would've missed HIS OWN wedding. Hearing his story it seemed like Colgan didn't have one hand talking to the other. No job is worth missing your own marriage.

Good luck BP.

ooops
 

haha Oh i did'nt realize it was his own wedding, yeah I could see that being a problem :rolleyes:

Is there any way to get ahold of someone at XJT?

hey ya'll, im really getting close to that 900-1000tt mark, and was wondering if it would be worth it to apply at those times with out 50 hours of multi. i really like expressjet and everything ive read about it. thanks a lot

50?
 

sorry the min is 100

With 100 hrs quality multi, like Twin cessna XC stuff, 310, 404, and 421, what sort of total time is needed there these days?

ExpressJet has been hiring at and above the 600TT/100ME mark. The lowest TT I have heard a non-intern getting hired at is 540 but he had a CRJ type.

anyone here work for ExpressJet, how is the QoL?

Been at XJT since March and have loved it. I've never really had any beefs with scheduling but I am one of those folks who treat the schedulers with respect. I live in base so I can't speak for QOL for commuters but we do have a "commuter clause" in our contract and there are a lot of guys here who do commute. From what I have heard, it is fairly easy to drop off turns at the beginning and end of trips to make trips more commutable. I was on reserve 3 months before I had a line but that varies greatly from base to base. If you have any specific questions, feel free to post 'em here or PM me.

Freezing i got a ?
 

Hey brotha, I am hoping for EWR whats the chances and is that the base that I will sit reserve the leas? man I can;t wait to fly out of Newark, I live 20 mons away ;)

Probably a pretty good shot of getting EWR. Seems like classes have been evenly split between IAH and EWR from what I have heard. However, they have been reducing lines in EWR. Ive got friends from class up there who are still on reserve and others who had a line one month but lost it the next month when they reduced lines. Still, you have a good shot of getting it. And if you are sitting reserve at home, who cares how long it lasts.

69 planes
 

yeah Reduced lines is never good, maybe because summer is comeing to end, hey man I am starting to get really concenred becuas eof the lack of a "stated" plan witht he 69 airplanes, Amy said they would publicly say what they were going to do early Sept, which has come and gone, I hope they have a plan, If i sit reserve for a year thats fine, but getting furloughed would be sad as well as a huge setback :(

Im not sure if its because of reduced flying or a planned reduction in the size of EWR and CLE and a consolidation in IAH. Seems like I fly more and more trips that spend no time in IAH and have almost all their flying out of EWR and CLE. I know what you mean about no official announcements being made yet, I would have expected to hear something definitive by now. Still, Im not worried about it. We keep hiring which I don't think would be happening if management was convinced we'd be parking the jets. Some of the hiring is for attrition but we aren't losing THAT many guys... Your guess is as good as mine. You should hear lots of good rumors at the training center, those guys always have the best kool-aid:D

November 8th Announcement
 

An announcement about the other 59 aircraft will be made on Nov 8th in conjunction with our 3Q results. Pretty strong rumor that out of those, 25 are 145LRs, and they are going to be sub-sub-leased to Aviacsa. Other than that, signs point to flying under our own colors. Rumors of an ONT base abound!!
