expressjet -- do they hire into a pool?

[flatspin7]

Anybody know if this is true? I've heard that the company is considering running May for Captain upgrades only? That would mean 128 upgrades if no newhires.

I havent heard that but It probably wouldnt be a bad idea--- they are pretty short for Capts right now, a lot of fo's (like me) are sitting around on their arses.

If true, WHOOOO HOOOOOO!!!! 4 months of reserve is beginning to get old.

Yeah, it'll be month 4 for me in April as well. At least I'm only 26 spots away from a relief line this time around. It's looking like 5 months of reserve, although some of the senior guys in my class will probably get by with 4.

Any idea where the new hires/upgrades are going? Iah, CLE, EWR or maybe Didneyland (that's Mike Tyson's Disneyland)

They are going into all 3 bases. Depending on the week more go to EWR or IAH or CLE.

 

[rumorhasit]

There needs to be more CA sent to EWR and IAH than anything right now and I hope planning knows that...

Come on now...2 or 3 Res captains in IAH/EWR is really bad...

From the looks of it looks like about 5-6 months of reserve once finished with training.
