    Mesaba, Pinnacle, or Express Jet

    I'd suggest American Eagle..... I just got an email from their recruiting department thanking me for my recent application and that they'd like to interview me for an upcoming class date. I applied to Eagle in 1999. T2S

    Well this was expected...

    Well, unfortunately, he's probably right. While it's not a guaranteed job, unless you tell some racist jokes or talk politics and religion during your interview, you're likely going to get hired at XJT. The pool of qualified applicants is 0. Now, just like everywhere else, we are scraping the...

    Toughest Interview Question?

    JD was awesome.... I had a recommendation from a check airman at XJT who used to do hiring with JD... 2 seconds into the interview, JD lunges across the table and SCREAMS "so I see you have a letter of recommendation from ___ _________, I HOPE YOU DON"T THINK THAT COUNTS FOR ANYTHING!!!" I...

    JetBlue hires Russ Chew as COO

    Maybe you should run for FAA administrator.... you seem to have all the answers. Do you know Mr. Chew or is all your information based on speculation and rumors you've heard? I know more than one person who thinks he is just what B6 needs to keep growing. But then again, you seem to be the...

    Priester Aviation

    Awesome company. Good aircraft. Yes, they are hiring - just got 4 more challengers and one GV. Good work rules, schedules can be tough or easy depending on your aircraft and how busy they are. Pay is industry standard for each aircraft. It's a family run business so there's a lot of good...

    Coming to regionals a few questions

    Upgrading quicker: no. you upgrade based on seniority - not flight time or other experience. No one can say how long you may be on reserve. I was on reserve for several years....most of our new hires now are on reserve only a few months. It all just depends on where you are based and how...

    Leaving Regional for charter

    If it looks too good to be true..... I fell for this type of deal in 2001. I went for the cash and ended up getting burned. I just finally got back to where I should have been in 2002 (left seat in an ERJ). Stay where you're at. QOL in charter sucks, and people don't buy GVs to fly from...

    ASA Closes LAX?

    Sorry, Kooter - that cannot be true. IF XJT got this flying, it was at the same price Continental gets under the Capacity Purchase Agreement. The only way it would be at cost, as you suggest, would be if XJT offered the same thing to CAL. If XJT is the carrier for this flying, I promise...

    Year End #s....

    A guy I recently flew with asked me about the 4 levels of flying.... I thought about it for a second, dusted off my ancient CFI knowledge from 10 years ago and said: Rote, Understanding, Application, Correlation. He said I wasn't even close. Here's what he said, which I thought was pretty...

    These guys must be idiots to pray on a plane--outloud!

    Last time I checked, almost every airport has some sort of non-denominational chapel for prayer. A little common sense from our Muslim brothers would have prevented this. Let's not blame the passengers and crews for reacting conservatively to something that was obviously out of the norm.

    XJT limitations, profiles

    Slipstream, Welcome to the funny farm and congrats on your recent accomplishments at XJET. You are truly lucky to be joining one of the few regionals left that are not in the race to the bottom. I'm certain you will find your time at ExpressJet both exciting and rewarding. Now for your...

    What foods do you travel with?

    I think Clif bars are indeed a good product, HOWEVER, they make my outflow valve pop frequently! I can't eat em! I'm trying some different powerbars with whey instead of soy - I'll let you know how it goes (or my F.O. will be on here complaining in a few days)

    What foods do you travel with?

    I posted this on our crackpipe also, but wanted to solicit many opinions on what foods your bring on a 4-day. I'm not talking about powerbars - everyone has the emergency powerbar for those times when you get screwed out of a meal. I mean real food. Do you pack sandwiches from home, carry...

    FEDEX meet and greet

    This too will pass.... There was a time, not too long ago, when flying for FedEx, UPS, Airborne, etc. was almost akin to "settling for second best". This of course was in the latter half of the 90s when UAL, AA, DAL, NWA and everyone else was hiring like gangbusters. Now, for the time being...

    SWA f/o arrested for intoxication

    Good thing you're a pilot and not a lawyer. He blew a 0.039. Legal limit is 0.04. He was legal. Doesn't matter when his show time was, he was legal when he blew. He should get off scott free (as far as FAA enforcement is concerned), and the SWA PR department might want to code red him with...

    Chicago Business Air Charter

    If the guy running this operation happens to have the initials B.B., run - run far away and don't look back.

    NWA Truly pathetic

    Where do kids get these ideas?

    When I got sick of charter flying I applied at three regionals: Comair, Great Lakes, and Continental Express. All three offered me a job. If I had chosen Comair I'd be a 3rd year Captain today. If I had chosen Lakes (which a friend of mine did at exactly the same time), I'd be gone like he...

    Making the jump from regionals/majors to fractionals...

    Johnsonrod, Before I give my .02 cents, let me state - I never flew for a fractional. However, I did do my fair share of Part 135 flying where we did a lot of work for Netjets, so I do not have an apples-to-apples comparison, but a fair and balanced view nonetheless. I had the opportunity...
