XOJET application / interview

[H2OK9]

you usually fly from your home base...ie..mia, mdw, dal..where ever...to an airplane that is on a trip...example..if you're in KMIA, you may start your rotation by flying to KEWR and picking up a plane in KTEB. As for your time off, I love the two week rotation. Nothing like having about two weeks off in a row each month. Great Company! Great QOL!

Hey x-rated, been out of the country, but when I checked my messages, someone by the name of Randy called me to do an interview, I have not had the chance to call back since I am still out of the country till next week. I am just wondering a few things.

1) Do you still have the Tier 2 domiciles? I would rather be on the 15/13 schedule and not commute since MIA would be 3 hours away for me.

2) Can you give me some insite as to what to expect for the phone interview and the personal interview in CA?

Thanks

As far as I know there are still tier 2 domiciles. However, our D.O. sent an email to everyone about a month ago. He said he didn't want anyone to have to work the 15/13 schedule just to live where they want. So, he gave everyone the option to work 8/6 and remain in their current domicile. I don't know what that means to future applicants. It would be a good question for Randy when you speak with him.

I don't know much about the phone interview, but Randy is a pilot in addition to our main recruiter. He's a good guy.

The personal interview in SAC will consist of several small interview groups. They will likely be made up of several pilots, office staff, Flight Ops Mgt, HR types, and anyone else who would like to participate. The interview will not be overly technical, and is fairly informal. The night before the interview applicants and interviewers generally get to together for an informal dinner and maybe a beer or two. The dinner is meant to put applicants at ease and let you get to know the folks that will be interviewing you. You'll have a good time. Just be yourself and you'll do fine.

X-rated,
Thanks for the info, Randy called several weeks ago, but I have been out of the country for over a month, mostly in the Middle east, so I am looking forward to getting home and calling him, I really need a change in jobs, I am never home, anyways thanks for the info.

Just wondering, are they still hiring Captains into the X, I don't have a type for the X or CL300, so i will be new, but just wondering if that is still the case? I have over 8000 hours TT and am a check Airman on the G-IV, so i have the time and experience.

Also, I look forward to joining XOJet, it sounds like a class act operation. As to the 15/13 schedule, I actually prefer the longer rotation, even if I can't use my airport as a tier 2.

Thanks again and I owe you a beer

XO Jet Purser (Flight Attendant)

Does anyone have any idea when they will (or already have?) started interviewing for these positions? They started advertising last month, then again the other day. I submitted my resume on line, it is now "on file" is there anything else I can do?
Thanks!

Is the concentration of hiring this year primarily for SIC or PIC positions?

Any chance the CL300's will be arriving earlier than expected?

How are the Citation X's on maintenance these days?

No type rating required. I'm pretty sure you would be brought on as a Captain. It's a special program that Randy can fully explain to you. However, you probably would not be dispatched as captain until you are close to meeting the Argus time in type requirements. The program is designed to bring in highly qualified people at a higher salary.

I'm looking forward to that beer...

Primarily, we hire SIC's

One CL300 may show up this summer, but that is probably it.

They've been pretty good lately. They do break, but the issue is somewhat overblown.

I think there have been a couple of interviews, other than that, I really don't know much.

The only way to apply is on line. I don't think there is anything else you can do.

good luck...

To you XOers who are in the know: At one point in time, I heard mention of XO maybe keeping their present C750 drivers in the aircraft by offering some kind of financial incentive to mitigate any mass migration from the 750 side of the operation to the Challenger. What's the latest on this theory/policy?

 

[t-bone]

There's not a significant financial advantage to stay in the 10, but there's no advantage of going to the 300 either as it will be paid at the same rate. Most guys seem to be happy in the 10, and more interested in seeing what other airframe types show up here in the next few years.

What is the pay like?
