Xjet ,hands down, no comparison needed.You won't be able to log that crucial under wing time at xjet lol but better pay,qol and company, in my opinion

Does anyone commute from TPA to ATL? I live in TPA and have offer from Skywest. I'm curious about Express Jet and their ATL base.

Talking about Skywest around these guys is blasphemy!

It's not really blasphemy as it is more like talking about Voldemort aka he who shall not be named

We have TPA-ATL commuters. It is difficult, but not insurmountable. Lots of Mainline commuters. They get jumpseat priority over us.

I would love to stick up for XJT but honestly have to say that career wise skywest is a better choice. They continue to get flying and have much quicker career progression which equals much greater pay and quality of life. I hate to say it boys/girls but XJT is a sinking ship!!!

I agree with some of that but if by career progression you just mean upgrading to captain than that's not the career progression many people want. I believe XJT sends more people to the majors and LCCs than SKW does. That's career progression in my opinion

Thats only because you have a influx of 10-15 year guys that planed on being lifers that ate jumping on the life rafts....
