XOJet growth...??

There's only a few left. About half of them went back to the 121 league. Good luck!

I wonder why, I've been flying 135, very sim. to what XO is doing, and I love it. I vowed not to go back to the broken world of the Airlines.
I just need to find a company that's moving forward and not backward

If you're on the 17/15 schedule, you need to plan on being gone for 17 days. That is way too long for me, but it works great for the guys that are on it. They get to plan on being off (hard days off) for 15 days straight. If you're out on the road and a new crew comes in and takes your airplane, it's possible that they'll airline you home rather than leave you in a hotel somewhere. The double rotation certainly isn't for everyone, but the trade off is you can live where you want. So you've gotta ask yourself what is more important to you and your family.

More 10's and the addition of Challenger 300s is all that can be said with relative certainty. Anything more than that is pure speculation. 150 airplanes is what the plan calls for. We'd have more on the property already if Cessna was able to deliver them on schedule. Our most recent delivery was made to us about 5 months late.

How soon are the Challenger 300s expected to be on the line and how many have been ordered total? What about Citation Xs - how many on the line now and how many have been ordered total?

Not trying to flame, but what are some of the benefits of flying for XOJet vs. for Netjets or Flexjet? Are there any incremental benefits? I want out of the regional business and I am trying to learn more about alternatives like these.

What about vacation days?

As of last December, all 300 positions were sold out until mid 2010- this included all "large orders." A million could be ordered (what NJA likes to announce). Has nothing to do with delivery dates and even actual deliveries.
Sort of amusing how us pilots get excited about management announcing "One Billion Aircraft have been ordered" and translate that to the reality of actual deliveries and of course similar company growth and supposed job stability. Orders mean nothing. Take a close look at NJA-they have have announced hundreds of deliveries over the next few years. They will actually take a fraction of those aircraft as many owners leave for other solutions (XO Jet, whole aircraft) and a HUGE number of current aircraft are exited from their fleet.
Good luck if you are anywhere near the bottom half of that seniority list.

How many Xs are currently in the fleet and how many more are expected through the end of 07? Also, does XO Jet still operate the Premier and the King Airs?

Noperf,

As of now, no vacation days. The company is working on a compensation package that includes vacation, longevity, an other benies.

Right now we have 14 X's 2 King Air 350's, and a Premier. Taking delivery of 6 more X's this year. We should have arounf 22 by New Years. First 300 maybe next year sometime (will be annouced soon). Things are booming here... Good group of people running the show and a great group of pilots to work with.

Cheers
