Experiences commuting on ExpressJet

I doubt Mesaba is ever weight restricted between MSP and IAH on the CRJ-900.

Only if we need to use MSY or DFW as an alternate with 35+ min of hold and a full flight of 76 PX. Then its critical, but not necessarily over weight.

Hey I was wondering from a XJT pilot perspective, how do you guys generally feel about dispatchers wanting to hop rides as well?

I was told to avoid XJT because of a few bad experiences in the office, but I find it hard to believe thats its a general problem.

No problem here. Frankly we rarely have dispatchers ask for rides so chances are someone didn't know the policy. If someone ever gives you grief tell them to reference our FOM. It clearly says we can take off line dispatchers if a cabin seat is available.

Nothing but good things on XJT here as well.
I used them from CLE-CLT once and twice from IAH-CLT.

No problems what so ever..
