CKN Taco selected for Continental Express

This sucks for Xjet. Sorry guys. I've been there.

Now the furloughed XJet guys get to go look for a new job. Guess who's hiring? Chickentaco! So they lose their seniority and start over at the bottom. Chickentaco gets cheap labor and CAL get a cheap regional.

STOP THE MADNESS! ONE LIST NOW!

Soon Air France will be operating in the US. XJet will make an excelent feeder for us and I wouldn't be surprised if in September we will hear an announcement that Xjet will sublease the jets to fly for us. You cannot be prouder than to be flying for Air France

Go away! AF will not be allowed to operate INTRA U.S.

Do you understand satire or sarcasm?

Where can ExpressJet put these aircraft? None of the majors want more 50 seaters. ExpressJet Europe?

Not cool...total BS.

Once again, Air France will be glad to use XJet for its US flying next year. We can definitely use more ERJ like this one:

Look at that beautiful white bird, its registration is F-GUAM. After leaving continental XJet pilots will feel right at home, this is meant to happen.

How many hours are required to upgrade to captain at CHQ?

I'm too lazy to jump ship from my current gig, just curious.

I think I am going to buy some stock in some hair gel companies...


Glad we didn't get the flying! Didn't want to take any jobs from the Jetlink guys.

How is this "taking" jobs? The regional carriers gloated during the major airline downsizings and now that the major mgmnt. teams are picking on you guys it seems it is job pilfering. How is that? Are the CHQ pilots not doing exactly wha t the pilots at the other regionals have done in the past? Just last time the flying was taken it was from a mainline pilot and yet that was cool?

None of us "regional" pilots wanted your flying!

What we wanted is for you guys to grow a sack and secure your flying through scope so that we too could fly for a "Major" one day!!!!

Thanks for nothing man!

Hey, all I wanted to do is give a little stock tip for the hair gel companies...

I never wanted to take any mainline flying. That is why I like the ATR! All jets should be at mainline IMHO.

I think you're wrong here. What you had was a small handful of snot-nosed pilots who thought it was cool/funny/whatever to get mainline flying. Notice I said "get" --- no one took anything from you guys because you gave it away. And the vast majority of regional pilots (at least the ones who actually understand scope) didn't want that flying.

And just so there is no misunderstanding: it's never cool when ANYONE loses flying. Period.

One list!? When you're in the line at the grocery store that is a mile long, and a new line opens. Do you let everyone go in front of you?
