XJT Hiring Pool
First off good morning to all.
I'm a new guy to the forum and an aspiring 121 rookie. I've lurked this site for a while mostly just trying to get a feel for the culture. I've been just your average CFI for the last 4 years and am looking to get moving with the next step.
I interviewed with XJT and have one at SkyWest in the near future. My question for those in the know,
XJT told me congratulations you're now in our pool. We will call you if we need you.
Does anyone have any experience with these circumstances? Do they typically call you in or can you expect to just stay a "pool pilot"
Thanks in advance!

If you got to that point, they want you and you'll eventually get the call. It took 3 weeks for me to get a call about this same time last year... actually I called them and was the first one to be put into my class. They hadn't called anyone yet but were going to get started for that class. It takes some patience, but there's nothing wrong with calling to check up on things, let them know you're interested, etc. Don't do that until a couple of weeks after the interview, I'd suggest.

It is a good thing, it means you have the job. Last I heard, the training center (ERJ side) is a little backed up right now with all the new hires and upgrades they've been doing to get our staffing right. If you are happy doing what you are now and XJT is where you want to be, your best bet is to just hang out and wait for the call.

If Skywest calls for an interview and you get the job, take it. I think we have a bumpy road ahead with our contract negotiations here at XJT. If no Skywest, then looks like you'll be stuck with us POed pilots at the "worlds largest regional."
Good Luck

Things are fine at xjet. There's a few that are ****ed off but most are really pleasant. I wouldn't rather be anywhere else, and am really happy with our contract. I don't expect any big increases and that's ok with me.

I agree with g-code as well. I'm a 2nd, almost 3rd year, FO on the CRJ and im very happy I came to ASA/Xjet. I'm on reserve, but I also live in base. I can also control my days off pretty well so my QOL isn't too shabby. With all the hiring on the ERJ side I would highly recommend that side for fast relative senority especially if you are planning on commuting.
Feel free to PM me about any other questions! I don't bite!

If xjt and Asa will ever agree to a contract we will be fine. Otherwise I'd go to Skywest. Xjt seems to want their cake and eat it too on this contract and is ****ing off a lot of people at Asa who realize what makes for a contract where the flying doesn't all just go to blow jets. We know, they already took a bunch of our 700's because they were cheaper. Now xjt wants us to become more expensive with a best of both worlds contract. Until they wake up, expressjet will see a lot of flying to go other regionals, and major stagnation (which Asa is already experiencing).
