XJet taking 9E flying?
 

Heard some news out of DTW that xjet is taking the Q400 flying on the 135 and that was part of all their hiring. Sources were fairly reputable but was curious if anyone else has heard anything on it.

Sounds reasonable.

That's what I heard...

Doesn't make sense to replace
a 74 seat aircraft with a 30 something.

More likely, the 135s will serve as a Saab replacement until or if someone else comes in.

What he said ^^^^

Yea, those replacing the Q's just doesn't pass the sniff test. What I think is gonna happen is we're going to reach an agreement with united on the Q's but not the saabs and the saabs are going to be parked but at the same time we'll get more Q's. I feel like that's a win win for everyone. Except united pilots of course, I would love to see the Q's go to mainline but thats a whole different can of worms.

There is no q's in dtw so therefore your source is a LIAR!

Yes its true .

The 135s are being used to cover flying this summer while a bunch of 145s are going through heavy checks

I think he means he heard it while he was at DTW.
