Life is good on the road and its better than the 7 years I did at NetJets..

I'm interested why you left NJA after 7 years (recently?)? It is pretty rare to have turnover that high up the list. Was it specifically to fly for XO?

Perhaps he left before the latest contract was ratified... As I recall, it was a pretty rough environment at NJA during those few months before the latest agreement - many people were leaving.

Good thing is that XOJet continues to grow (from AIN Online):

"Cessna Aircraft announced today at the NBAA Convention that charter operator XOJET has placed a $600 million order for 30 Citation X business jets."

On Your Six,

You are absolutely correct. NJA Capt, I left for better opportunities with P91 operator but due to family issues, I needed to relocate and XOJet offered both opportunity and advancement. I am grateful for the experience at Netjets but I have NO regrets about leaving.

Cheers,

Xdriver

Normally to go to XO, you have to have Command Screened, probably in your 12-16 year point in your career. You need to be qualified as an Aircraft Commander in the weapon system you will be operating, and be prepared to take over as Commanding Officer.

Can you get into XO as a captain on the X? If so is there a min jet time req? Does XO do much or any intl flying?

Yes you can if you have time in type. Minimums are posted on the company website. Yes we do, just did a trip to Dubai...I know, wrong airplane for that trip...

Don't not apply, though, just because you don't have the time in type and aren't interested in a co-pilot's salary. Talk to the DO or CP once you've made it past the interview, they're more than likely willing to work something out.

Can someone refresh my memory? What is the starting salary for FOs? What is the likely 1st-year total with per diem, etc.?

Thanks

Anybody heard from XO here of late? I take it they've been conducting interviews.
