Any idea as to the fate of the CLE base and how hard it would be to get it out of training?

Hello all! This is ExpressJet's Pilot Recruiting team. I wanted to take a moment to address a few questions/concerns on the thread:

1. We have no plans to close our Dallas base.
2. We are a well run, stable company with a bright future. We will definitely be around long-term.
3. Most new hires can hold any base they'd like right out of training. Worst case scenario, within a month or two.
4. While we want pilot candidates to succeed, we do require a knowledge, skills and culture test as part of your in-person interview. ExpressJet pilots have a long history of professionalism, skill and customer service excellence (which is why the majors prefer our pilots), so we expect our new hires to be of the same caliber.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to stop by one of our many career fairs and industry events, or reach out to us at [email protected] or via our Facebook page - facebook.com/expressjetpilotrecruiting.

Thanks!
Courtney

This. Don't fall for the hype. Until our overlords in St. George are gracious enough to send more flying our way (don't hold your breath), this place will just keep getting smaller and smaller, even though they feed us tripe about how United "wants us around". Riddle me this- if they want us around, why are they transferring so many XRs to Commutair and Transtates?

All that would do is accelerate attrition and shrink their timeline for whatever their plans may be. Take a good look at their parent company and their feelings on unions and you'll understand why one side is growing and the other side is shrinking. They just want to do it in a slow and methodical manner.
