Thanks!

How long/how much seniority do you have at XJT?

I presume you've applied to all of the places like Spirit, JetBlue, Virgin, etc...

You'll get benefits DL & UA.

I've got apps everywhere like everyone else, just trying to find the semi comfy spot while I wait for a better opportunity. I've been at XJT less than a yr, I made a jump from another failing regional, hoping XJT would have some sort of stability, but seems it's internal turmoil is pulling it down too.

I talked to OO hr and I get to retain my travel seniority, but forgo my bidding seniority which is the hardest decision maker of all, but would be the most senior in class as a furloughed OO employee (as long as no other active employee bumps me).

So curious about those who were in my position and made that move. QOL is important and ALPA is definitely not looking out for its regional pilots.

How do they go about contacting you if selected to interview, email or the number listed in airline apps?

The reason I ask is because I was in the middle of switching cell carriers and the wonderful folks at t-mobile completely fubarred the whole process and they had already ported my number over to them. So basically I'm without a phone this week and when I tried calling my number there is a machine saying it has been disconnected. FML...

Usually I think the Motley Fool is full of crap, but this article doesn't seem too far off the mark. If you actually read it, though, you'd see that SkyWest Airlines is pretty healthy while the XJT side of the company is the source of financial consternation. So yeah, I might steer clear of SKYW as an investment, and word on the street is that ExpressJet might not be a great choice right now for potential applicants. I still believe SkyWest Airlines (not the whole INC) is in good shape right now. For a regional, at least.

34 new hires on the seniority list for 2/24 (8 bro 26 CRJ). Better than the 32 last month but still not the 40 targeted.

Sorry I know it's been asked many times. Anyone have any current info on their Multi time requirements? 100? 50? or 25 like expressjet? I'm a CFII with 510 hours, and just trying to see what type of Multi time I need to plan on getting. Because I would love to work for Skywest. Thanks!
