So I am at a position where I need to move on from part 135. Been flying turbo prop for a while and now have more than 500 multi TPIC.
In the same boat as a bunch of us trying to advance, qualified but can't afford to wait for class date at E9 or RAH (and not assuming they will definitely hire me, but I do have what seems like a pretty good shot. If only they were not so backed up with training and stuff...)
People I kind of know at XJET (friends of friends) said so far no official communication from management yet about what direction this is moving. Still losing pilots and have not gotten caught up yet in term of hiring. There is definitely potential, but we can't seem to do much beyond making educated guesses...or so it seems.
They are planning on hiring more and are aiming for growth but I would like to see something more definitive. I heard the pilot group is great despite suffering low morale in the last couple years and the training department is awesome. If only I could see some real movement I would come over.
Do you think there will be an answer by the end of Q1? Does anybody know anything more yet? XJET may really be the next best thing....but really, I wish I knew more or I wish something was actually happening. Even like, just a class of 10 upgrading in February.....sigh
Thanks
