Express Jet employment link disappears on their site?

[tradersltd]

Anyone know why the Express Jet employment link on their web page has disappeared? Current employees are unable to find it, right after 3rd quarter loss posted. Anyone?

Probably because they're looking at slower growth, so they're cutting costs, and doing the things that are necessary in this economic environment. Doom and gloomers are all around, but I see it as a natural business cycle. XJT has a good management team, but they are dealing with bad timing on the Branded start-up losing $$, CAL's new boss cutting costs (whipsawing) at the expense of quality, and the high fuel prices. Time will tell, but XJT is still a good place to work.

I think it goes "my POS bottom feeder regional can beat up your POS bottom feeder regional".

On a more serious note...spoke with a friend of mine over at Express last night and he said that the company is asking for voluntary furloughs.

the sky is falling! the sky is falling!

 

[badog]

Unless the oil bubble bursts we are looking at furloughs in June.The saying U = you better hope branded works out may be prophetic to say the least. expect the $hit to hit the fan around the time we move to terminal A.

YIKES!

Short term...so far.

P Time will tell, but XJT is still a good place to work.

ACA/Independence was a great place to work as well. Wish you guys all the best, its a tough market out there!!

It might be because RAH is taking over the flying?????? after all, RAH flies for less!!!!!

 

[badog]

up to 350 maybe. depends on how many colas they get. word on the street is we are FAT 700 fo's

Maybe you need to understand that ACA/Indy NEVER ever even close to breaking a load factor of 60-70% right after starting up, XJT did and still does, granted some routes are lousy.

Trust me, it's a tough place out there for everyone, no matter what regional or others you work for. What and see what happens if oil prices don't come down. If prices of oil stays near where it is, I wish everyone the best of luck, including regionals, national, legacy, fractionals, etc.

What's COLA mean here?

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Company Offered Leave of Absence???

 

[say again]

Company Offered Leave of Absence???

That would be my guess :beer:

 

[MJG]

That is correct. It means since the company is offering the leave, that you keep your health insurance, acrue longevity and maintain your travel bennies while you are away.

If you were to take a personal leave of abscense, you may not get to keep any of the perks of the job while you are out.

Now you can work at RAH instead for $2-5 less per hour and the chance to fly a big shiny 170. Sweet. Enjoy.

Ummm......because it's the regionals forum? This was hardly a vs. thread. It was a question about one airline, what's the problem?

 

[luvz2fli]

Where did you hear FAT 700 fo's? If the company is constantly in negatives for coverage, how can you have too many? Is attrition not taking care of the problem or what?

It's because of the branded flying dumbass. Can't read a quarterly report?

nah nah nah nah nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

next time you see a shuttle or republic crew, let them know how you feel so we can read about it later.

No, won't do it. Then continue to post under your secret screename and talk sh!t about us. Big wittle man you are.:beer:

 

[Alchemy]

geeze, you RAH guys sure are sensitive. Did I not post facts? Xjet is not hiring....CHQ is....hmmmmm...yep. Brand new 170's are shiny, yep. You work for less money....yep. Sorry, the truth hurts sometimes I guess. Keep up the tough guy attitude nice next time you ask me for a ride to IAH....better be nice unless you like waiting for the next flight. Better yet get a better contract next time. That's the one area where you actually have my support. Why are you even reading this post anyway? Did I miss something or isn't it about xjet employment?

Whatever helps you sleep at night, chief. If you can't put 1 and 1 together vis a vis the loss of coex flying and the reason for branded's existence, then I think you'll find the biggest dumbass of all staring back at you in the mirror. Might be time to read those reports again, dip$hit.

The reason for branded's existence is they chose to do it didn't they? I dont think any twisted their arm. I've read your post over again. Nice big talk about leaving people at the gates etc. You're still an idiot. What's your name if you're so big? Or do you want to make these little threats of yours and sit while you sit here throwing rocks from the bushes? I've dug through several of your other posts to make sure I wasn't being prejudice... nope... You're and idiot.

Nobody twisted their arm eh? Do the names Rev. Bedford, Larry Kellner, and Jeff Smisek ring a bell?

You're and idiot.

Classic.

I'm sure you could figure out my name if you really wanted to, I don't keep it a big secret. There's no reason for me to make it easy on you though. Best of luck with that research if you want to find out, Chance.

Try not to get so bent out of shape when your 170's get called shiny and someone points out your payscales though, seriously, if you're that sensitive maybe RAH and the regional airline industry in general isn't the place for you!

Best of luck,
