Expressjet or Pinnacle which one and why?

Yes it is nice. It's also nice to be in the left seat of it in 12-18 months not 3-4 years. How many more aircraft do you have coming at Express Jet? Guaranteed at least another 50 170's between now and next summer at CHQ. It's a no brainer, in my opinion, of where the most growth and movement is going to be in the regional industry.

Ahhhh, SJS, very sad.

Ahhhh, SJS, very sad.

SJS? I'm at my third airline and have flown jets before. You don't know anything about me or my background. I wanted to choose a company that is growing and stable so I didn't end up on the street like I did at a previous regional. Is there a problem with that?

Stable? Tied to bankrupt carriers. Yeah real stable. Yep SJS for sure, self denial is a sympton.

Growing, yes- Stable? Are you high? Who do you contract for?
Why not just leave it at growing?

apply to continental mainline, they're hiring.

If you had to chose between the two which one and why?

I have been at XJET for a while and it is a great place to work, but a long time to upgrade to Captain. This changes through time ,but I think it is around 3-4 years currently.

I think you interviewed at SWA and didn't get hired and for that I am sorry. If you want to apply to Continental I highly recommend NOT going to XJET. You will NOT get an interview at CAL if you are working at XJET. (MAYBE in a year or so).

With your military experience you seem to be very qualified for any regional but I would go to Pinnacle and get some 121 experience and hopefully a quicker upgrade to Captain apply to CAL, FEDEX, UPS, Airtran, Jetblue NOW and SWA again in a year.

Good luck,

Another SWA hopeful!

I would if I had PIC time. That's why I am where I am now. Hoping to get the PIC time as soon as I can so I can move on to bigger and better things.

We are increasing our flying for those bankrupt carriers which is usually the case at all regionals who fly for a carrier who files bankruptcy. That's just the way it works. Who do you fly for?

 

[El Duque]

Just curious, is Pinnacle still hiring street captains?

 

[Rook]

No. But I'm sure the next USA Today spot will advertise that we are.
