Expressjet needs pilots bad!

[767200]

and ya'll thought John Dresser was bad, God bless your souls.

what ever happened to him? Is he still there?

 

[Nova]

I heard he left when they disbanded the pilot recruitment department after 9/11.

I've got a novel idea. How about all of a sudden nobody applied for or accepted a job at XJT because they refused to stoop down to flying an RJ for 17 grand a year. Just tell them "When you guys get a new contract with a wage above the food stamp line, I'll be back." Maybe then these freakin' companies would get a clue. It would be even better if nobody applied to ANY regional airline, send them all a message...GAME ON!!

Great THOUGHT!!!!

I'm not trying to be a smart-a** here, but Mooser, aren't you the one who is waiting for Lakes to run your class? Doesn't the same thing apply there? How about if people just said no to Lakes until they come up with a contract that pays at least industry standard for the mighty Beech? Just curious if the correlation had been made......

best regards...

I think when "hell freezes over" is when those pilots will give anything back.

True dat! I'm married to one. If it happens it won't be voluntary!

Days off don't pay the bills.

Good work rules will do both.

Coex

I agree, nobody apply at Coex...............

No, he was basically forced out. . . Someone has mentioned a lawsuit was part of the reason but I find that hard to believe. He was someone who was actually "qualified" for the job, now ya got the wonderful Ms. Dawn Daniels who is nothing more than a pompous first officer thrown into a position with a vast majority of pilots at EJ not pleased.

Just curious? Do you work for XJT? Wondering because of your avatar...

If you do, have you flown with her? Who have you talked to there that she has ticked off???

I have flown with her before she took the position. She is a good pilot, and cool to have on a trip with you. As far as people saying she is confrontational, she does not hold a candle to what Mr. Dresser used to do. I have witnessed both in action. I AM speaking from experience.

Potential newbies: Come prepared for your interview, and it will not be confrontational. Screw up something like forgetting required paperwork that you were told to bring several times, or not being able to explain what a MOCA is... You might have a problem.

 

[350DRIVER]

No, I am not a XJT pilot.

I went through the COEX program years back and was offered a 1900 position, Dresser did the interview and that is how I know him, atleast he had "experience" behind him and knew the ropes. Those (the majority) that give him a bad rap are those that he showed the door to.


Dresser was much more well versed in this area in my opinion...If he liked you then you got the job, if he didn't then you were fukced and he would make it known during the interview.

ps>> Mr. "in the know", can you say for the fact that she has indeed lost her medical and is no longer a line pilot?

I'm going to IAH in August, and should be holding a relief line there. I went through class in Feb. I think in Aug there is close to 80 people below me on the list in IAH. Don't know how long the wait will be for the later hires.

Hey AviatorTX, I've never interviewed with coex, i've been at another regional for three years i'm just stating what friends and others have said. Don't take it personal every company has a few biaatches. Maybe she's your girlfriend in that case sorry.

 

[rumorhasit]

You're missing the point that they are running a class every 1 to 2 weeks with 16 new hires in each. Why does it matter where they come from? There are plenty of overqualified folks out there to fill those slots. Plus 2 out of every 16 seems like an awfully good ratio to complain about. Back in the day of 40 new hires per class you'd be lucky to find 1 internally hired pilot.

Why not hire from within? 2/16 is not good when you don't have enough pilots!!! Internal should be more...most are in good standing with the company and not required a background check!!! Some have paid there dues within the company and the company (needing pilots)should look favorable to internal applicants.
I heard the process is not about how many hours you have(you meet the quals or you would not be interviewing) its whether they feel you would be "bearable" on a 4 day trip with someone. The company's image etc.

Actually Mr. 350, I've known Dawn for about 8 years, and she's none of the things you say. She certainly isn't John Dresser. But, in most of our eyes that is a good thing. (And I'm one of the guys that liked him, too). It's a different industry today than it was when he was around. We need a different approach these days. Anyways, back to your question above, as one "in the know" as you said, she is not a line pilot because the position she took required her to be a manager. Thus, she is on management status with ALPA (and still paying her dues) as long as she's in that office. That's all there is to it. 'Fraid anything else is just vicious rumor by a couple of people that don't like her much...

ps>>> To all you guys taking shots at her, how come no one else will sign their names? It's easy to call someone names from anonimity... Pu$$ies...

 

[350DRIVER]

Andy,


Thanks for the response. . . I am happy that you like her and have had good experiences with her but please do not buy into the misconception that she is liked by all, this is far from the truth. I know quite a few at EJ that would definitely not be in agreement with what you are saying.

ps>> ever recall the saying that in more times than not one can always find two sides to a story if ya look hard enough?>>>>
