it's bitter sweet.. I am really going to miss all of my co-workers! I really have had such an amazing experience here over the past 5 years! Everything non-frontline aside.. If you want an amazing training experience and fly with some of the most wonderful captains who actually take their experiences and help you to be a better pilot.. Pick Xjet! I would have never been prepared for this interview if it wasn't for our training department and our captains!

You call it meat in the seat not a shortage. Now if you want to call it a shortage of quality applicants that we can agree on

Sounds fair- shortage of pilots w/o a gear-up landing

You talking to me??!!...... Been to couple interviews performed well with no attitude problems meet all qualifications. Was even pre-offered a job at one regional. But this is working against me. I guess this career is really not forgiving at all. You can be the best pilot or best employee but one mistake is never forgiven. Isn't that seems to be unfair????

We all make mistakes my friend. It just takes time to fade away in the eyes of the airlines. If youve had some offers, then things are lookin up. I wish you the best and as far as a gear up landing- "But for the grace of God go I" it could happen to anyone.

if you interview well and let them know what you learned from it, a desperate airline can be very forgiving. anything is possible. Good luck
