What has the average attrition been at XJT over the past couple of years?

I want to say around 30 to 40 per month give or take.. We are still hiring 80 per month and haven't received a new airplane for quite some time meaning lots of movement. CAL seems to be the popular place for XJT guys to go to but plenty go to SWA and other majors.

are they still holding fast to the 600/100 times. I have about 550 /135 right now. I can DEFINITELY get that knocked out by the end of the summer if they are being a stickler on the times. I want to get an app in soon...assuming that I decide to head to the airlines.

God, I love Continental. I fly them whenever I can when I am heading to the South.

Not trying to hijack the thread but I had to chime in here. I too absolutely love fly CAL; and XJT for that matter. Anytime someone asks for a travel recommendation, I always point them towards the CAL family. Free food, Free upgrade to 1st class, clean aircraft, good customer service (in my experience).. now about that 1st year FO pay haha .. nevermind

Plenty of people are getting on with the bare minimums. I barely had the minimums when I got hired. Knock that time and get your app in. If you do decide to go airlines, XJT is definitely the place to be. I love it here.

KA, the free food is really nice..something you don't see often these days. Have you been on an ExpressJet branded flight yet? I hear the food is fabulous! Well, for airline standards that is..

I don't even hafta to buy any food on trips now that i'm on the branded side...Only booze. Life is good here.

So, the wife and I decided that while we are away at Ft. Rucker, we will pay off some bills, get done with Flight School, and put the app in. At least that way I can put 250+ hours of turbine on my resume' regardless if it will count or not, I will be IFR current, and have logged extra time in the past 12 months. She is getting her promotion soon, which will offset the almost 60% paycut that I will be taking as an FO.

Is everyone at XJT getting just the mins, or can you max out that 1000 hours per year?

You can fly as many hours as you want, my pay credit for the month of June is Like 136 hrs, which is just bananas..............

I have averaged about 95+ hrs a month here

Holy crap how'd you manage that? Generally I find that even if you go with a lower credit line here, when you pickup trips you start butting against the 100/30 issue and it can't get much above 115.

All open time has been paid at 150% all summer...its most likely he has picked up 130+ hrs of credit, while only flying 90-95 hrs.
