XJ worse-case scenario
These forums have really been confusing me lately. Maybe it’s because I haven't been in the biz long and don't understand how things work, fair enough, but I still don't get it. Looking back at posts from the last month, it seems the same people that say XJet is a great place to work also say that it could be headed for trouble and might be a bad choice. So here's my question: what is the worse case scenario for XJet? If the branded and charter flying doesn't take off, does this mean the company will be no more? I've always wanted to work there, but these mixed reviews have me thinking my current CFI job isn't that bad of a choice.

You have to make your own decision here - are you in a financial position to take a gamble with the company? There's a chance their branded flying won't succeed and you'd be furloughed - although I don't see that happening in the next year or two. They've got a lot of money to burn thru first.

From: Who Cares
hey man I wouldn't worry so much. This business is full of uncertainties, but if you always run away at the first sign of trouble you probably won't get very far. My advise to you is apply all over, and when you get offers, go to the place that best suits you at the time. Don't make your decision on the basis of what COULD happen or what MIGHT happen. You have to use the facts you have RIGHT NOW. If you always sit around and go over situations in your head about possibilities in the future, you'll drive yourself nuts, along with everyone on this forum Best of luck.
Best of luck.As for me and most people I know.... get the job, figure out what you want to do (i.e. major, lcc, fractional, cargo, etc.) and go from there.
