That and xjt is non-union which is a big + especially in this day an age.

ExpressJet is losing work for 54 ERJ145s (15 jets to be used in charter operations). It would certainly suck to get through training in February only to get furloughed a few months later.

Colgan is what it is. I didn't particularly care for it either. I hope no one gets furloughed at XJT, but this guys is looking for realistic advice between a contractor that is getting additional work and a contractor that is losing work. You have to assume that XJT is losing business for 54 aircraft until they publicly announce plans for these surplus 50 seaters. You use the best information at hand to make the wisest decision.
