Change is in the air at XOJET...

Geez...that's depressing reading...same theme over and over again.

Wonder what would happen if you had the same type of review for any other company...would the comments basically be the same? I think so...but I don't know.

If I felt that bad about my employer, I would take a hike.

Hard to do these days. My employment search has taken me around the globe. As I mentioned previously MGM was a missed opportunity. Keeping my fingers crossed, my suit dry cleaned, my r?sum? polished and logbooks up to date. First opportunity I'm outty 5000.

Should have said..."I would take a hike as soon as I could."

Understand that it is not easy.

You're right, it isn't easy. But until that opportunity presents itself, you've got to make the best of what you've got.

Glassdoor has become a valuable tool to get our voices heard. And as a result, change has occurred. We now have a true Fatigue policy, and these recent changes in mgmt could result in less of an iron fist management style. Time will tell.

Wow, pros are the hotels are paid for by the company, an 8 on 6 off schedule, the pay is good??

Are you freaking kidding me???

Add to the list of downsides:

A conveyor belt of unaware, bright eyed noobs, willing to replace you for less.

Give yourself 3 years of no pay raise, no chance up upgrade and an uncertain future. You will know the meaning of "are you freaking kidding me."

To each his own though I guess. I will run away screaming. You can have my #1 chump spot.

Several of us felt that bad about the DO , so we talked with our feet !

And several more will when the right opportunity presents itself. Hope things are treating you well up up in MT, Scangadah!

This rumor just CAN'T be true. That is, unless XO has a fleet of "previously enjoyed" GV's that no one knows about...

46 G's were transferred from the old NJI certificate to the NJA fleet after the two divisions were merged.

For some reason, the 55 aircraft on the link above were left behind.....

I was always under the impression that XOJet was a good place to work at with good management, i even had my application on file with them for some time now. After reading some of those reviews i don't even know if i would interview there if given the opportunity. Beside the schedule, it seems like just another typical abusing 135 operation.

This actually would be helpful. We need pressure applied from the recruiting side of things. So long as we have "thousands of apps on file" and we still have guys recommending their own friends to work here, the incentive to make change for the better has been minimal.

I really think that is going to change over time...

I am with YIP on the coming pilot shortage. My son is just starting flight training now and I am helping him with his private. He's hoping to get a pilot slot with Navy or Marines ... but the idea of spending several tens of thousands on flight training on your own for an iffy career ... I don't think there will be enough takers

Businesses in which recruit with the in-lock-step method is a double edge sword because if a company is operating a good business model no problem. The downside is a business operating a poor business model recruiting people who think like them make change difficult.
