How long does it take to hear back from XJET

[PapaSiera]

I hope that I get an interview date email from them soon, the suspense is killing me. Hopefully 704/440 will be enough.

Did you already send back the 12 questions? if so when did you do that, and how long have you been waiting? I got the e-mail with my 12 questions 2 weeks after I filled out the online app.

 

[manolo1492]

I sent it yesterday the same day I got it. Not long at all, but like I mentioned earlier 3 of my friends got interview dates within 3 days of sending it.

 

[PapaSiera]

I guess I will have to hold my breath for another 2 days

 

[PapaSiera]

bump.

 

[PapaSiera]

Any news for anyone?

Is the XJET job site page down again?

Right after I applied, filled out the pilot questionaire and submitted the website seems to have crashed again! Is there a phone # I can call to make sure they got my stuff?

I also just got an e-mail a few minutes after applying that says:

Pilot - First Officer Assessment - Pilot Pre Screen

(Name removed for privacy),
You are receiving this email because a position has become available within our company. To determine if you qualify for the position, you will need to complete an assessment.
Please log in to the web site to complete this brief pre-employment evaluation.
Click here to begin the assessment.

Is this the same as the pre screen pilot questionaire (asking for flight time last 6 mo., failed checkrides etc...) on the online application or is this something different....when I click the link they provide it just goes to their broke ass webpage.:erm:

I hate computers:smash:

I know they switched the application a few weeks ago if that what you are talking about. It is not People Scoute anymore

I just submitted using the 'new' system, and got the same thing. I did the assessment at the time of the application, but still recieved an email asking me to do the assessment. I also checked my Profile, and it showed my name and address as blank. I filled them back in again, hit submit, and checked once more. Yep, still showing up as blank. <sigh>

Yeah, my profile with my name, availability and contact info is blank too (I don't really feel too good about that because it was there before), but most of my info still shows up under my resume if I click "edit resume".... so hopefully thats good enough...who knows. I finally got that e-mail link from them for the assessment to work and it said I already completed it.

This new application format is junk and I have no idea if everything went through properly but I don't want to apply twice because I hear they throw out your stuff if you do that.

 

[PapaSiera]

In not farmiliar with the new application. I got mine in a few days before it switched over. Did the new assesment from ask you to pick from 1 of 4 dates for an interview? Im wondering how they are filtering people out with this. I guess its going to be a long holiday weekend before I find anything out.

 

[Mustang5.0]

no, it just asked if I would be availabe to start training 3 weeks from interview date.

Friend of mine interviewed May 16th. He didn't get the job with 4000TT/2000 turbine. Interviewer told him he was overqualified.

According to same friend, nearly all of those hired that day (it was a pretty sizeable group) were 1100-1300TT and 100-300 multi.

 

[11thHour]

"Overqualified?" WTF!? Why bother with furloughed folks then?

 

[Catbert]

"Overqualified?" WTF!? Why bother with furloughed folks then?

That's what we were trying to figure out. They obviously saw his resume ahead of time and asked him to the interview. Why go through all that then tell him he's overqualified? WTF indeed!

 

[TEXAN AVIATOR]

That's what we were trying to figure out. They obviously saw his resume ahead of time and asked him to the interview. Why go through all that then tell him he's overqualified? WTF?

I know of a few recent newhires with some good time, (one was 3700 with 1000 turbo prop pic.) I'm willing to bet they had another reason for not offering a position to him. Hell, a year ago we hired a CAL guy. He took early retirement and came over here. Heard he's a real hoot to fly with too.:bomb:

 

[11thHour]

Yeah, I hope it was an excuse, as I sit at times just a little lower than his, but would still like to work for those guys. Throw a dog a bone here!

 

[punkpilot48]

Friend of mine interviewed May 16th. He didn't get the job with 4000TT/2000 turbine. Interviewer told him he was overqualified.

No offence to your friend but I've been told that "overqualified" translates into "he thinks he is better than us."

But maybe thats just one companies interpretation.

 

[Jpilot23]

i replied to the e-mail and forgot to attach my resume, opps. i sent it again with the resume. i probably screwed my chance there. i'm at 930/176, last time i went through this they told me they didn't have any jobs with my qualifications available (they were nice to put it that way) but anyway with no degree i wonder if i'll ever get the interview. OR will i just have to fly some more and get 1000 TT? Maybe finish my 2 year.

XJT - Interview (Info)

XJT - Interview (Info)
Hello,

My name is Mark from Los angeles, CA USA. I have just had my 24th birthday a couple of weeks ago. At which time I applied to every known regional in this country and few foeign operators. Currently my logbook indicates 1200TT and 120MEL. Couple of days ago I found an interesting e-mail from XJT (12 Questions and choose your interview date) type of materials. Curious to know how long is the wait time from time you respond to the 12 questions and confirmed? At XJT I got this far on my own no walk in. However, at Mesa all materials were walked in. My conection was a SR. Capt. CRJ (ORD) additionally IOE/Line Check Airmen and in a leadership position with board of trustees. I'll attach copy of the 12 questions and my response open to thoughts and ideas. Also will try and post a letter of recommendation (INTERNAL) Private contact [email protected]

It is a pleasure to hear from you as quickly as I did! Below are the answers to the following twelve questions the company sent.

To be considered for an interview, please reply to this email with answers to all 12 questions below and forward an updated copy of your resume to me. PLEASE RESPOND BY JUNE 2ND TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS SESSION.

1. We are currently hiring for the training course that begins within 3 weeks of your interview date. If offered a position, would you be able to attend this course?

Yes! I would be able to attend training that would start three weeks after my interview date. I can only see one obstacle that would be in the way. I’ll be in Israel June 28 – July 10 on vacation. Nothing more and am ready to provide excellent, safe service to ExpressJet Airlines.

2. We are hiring First Officers who are flexible to work out of any of our three hubs located in Cleveland, Ohio, Newark, New Jersey or Houston, Texas. Are you willing and able to work at any of these locations?

I’ll make it happen as to be able and willing to work in one of the three listed above locations. My preference would be (KEWR) Newark, NJ.

3. Are you currently working? If so where? What is your position?

Yes. I am currently working. Location of Flight instruction (Part 61) is at my local airport (KVNY, Van Nuys Airport) in Los Angeles, CA. My position is CFI (Flight Instructor) providing donated flight instruction to this group and in addition to this I am currently holding title as President, Director of MX. I work under the supervision of an A&P / IA. From working on 100hr. to an annual inspection amongst other things is a great experience. Since its foundation in 1951, Kitty Hawk Squadron 3 (Boy Scouts of America; Aviation Air Explorer Scout Post 3) has trained hundreds of young men and women to fly. If you are between the ages of 14 and 21, you are eligible to participate in this exciting program (www.squadron3.com ). Ground and Flight Instruction are provided at no charge by our volunteer Certified Flight Instructors. Flight Training is performed in a Cessna 172 provided by the North Hollywood Optimist Club, the primary sponsor of Squadron 3 since 1951These two organizations are recognized as IRS (501 c) non-profit outfits. In addition to Air Explorers also provide for pay (Part 61) at a flight school at KVNY. I am currently training for my MEI (Multi-Instructor Add On).

4. How much total time have you flown in the last 6 months? How much of that time is multi time?

I have flown 225 TT and 105 is AMEL

5. What aircraft are you currently flying?

BE-76, PA-34-200, C-172

6. Do you have any accidents or incidents on your record? If yes, please give details, including dates.

NO

7. Do you have any violations on your record? If yes, please give details, including dates.

None

8. Have you ever failed a check ride or stage check? If yes, please give details, including dates.

Yes. I have been issued pink slip for:

ASEL-Commercial, a new PTS had gone into affect that very day. It was my misfortune and instructor ability to stay updated that I was unaware and only was notified by the DPE on exam morning after said exam had begun. (FAA:-S-8081-12B 08-1-2002) - The area of operation was a Power Off – 180 degree accuracy landing.

The following are two most important lessons I learned about my aviation training! I went out of town paid certain amount of money and expected to get trained and pass FAA Check Ride. They had onsite examiners working for them

Commercial AMEL- Add on (Jan. 2003) was due to lateness of gear retraction on last take off before going in for parking.

Certified Flight Instructor: (Jan. 2003) certain things took place that I feel were unfair and against the FAA-Plan of Action. I retested few times at this flight school with two separate examiners and was unsuccessful. Thus, I left and came home to LA where I retook and passed. I am by far not stating I was not prepared for at least one of the exams. However, the majority of what occurred was inappropriate. I am unable to describe this with out a formal letter to you at this time. Think it requires both a full written letter and oral discussion which I’ll be more then happy to explain. What I have learned over the past two-half years is it made me a much better instructor and pilot for the long run! In conclusion this flight school has been able to escape MULTIPLE Attempts by the Las Vegas, NV FSDO. I was made aware of it after my departure.

**Currently I have taken on the challenge to obtain my MEI (Multi-Instructor) add on. ** I never stop learning.

9. We have interview dates available for the month of June. Which day works best for you?

Tuesday, June 20th

10. What airport will you be traveling in and out of for the interview (the airport must have Continental or Continental Express service)? KLAX

11. What is your name (as it appears on your driver’s license)? Mark Howard Young

12. What is the best contact number to reach you (Monday – Friday 8 am-5pm CST) should I have any additional questions?
