I'm wondering for those guys who work for XJT/interviewed with them, what advice do you have for me going into the interview? My interview is in just under 2 weeks, and I want to be as prepared as possible. Also, does ExpressJet have a future in spite of all the news that’s been out regarding them loosing their flying from CAL? In spite of all that, this looks like a great company. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Nope, no future. The sky is falling. Get out while you can. Stay far far away from XJT.

Seriously though, if any of us could answer that question with any certainty then there would be a lot of money to be made. No one knows for sure but put this in your pipe and smoke it: would the company, knowing they are heading for tough times, pi$$ away lots of cash on training and extra staff just to turn around and furlough?

I submitted my resume a week ago. My hours are not very good. They stand:
1600TT
130 Multi (30 Turbine)
110 Instrument
1000 instruction given
120ish night.

Think I'll get a call? Any idea when I should be expecting to get it if I do? So far XJT is the only company I've submitted to. This week I plan on putting the rest out there.

When they get to it...

Seriously though, some guys wait days, some wait months. Not really sure of the method to the madness, just the way it is.

I currently have about 3-4 more months at my current job which is why I'm looking now. I don't want to hit a lag in my flying. There is a 135 job here however I don't want to sign a contract then be called up.

Airlines will hire this month to cover flights next month even while they are printing furlough letters for the month after that. Manpower managers at airlines don't get fired for training a pilot and then furloughing him a few weeks down the road. They do get fired for cancelling flights due to predictable staff shortages.

An airline making a silly financial decision? Wow, imagine that!
