What kind of time one needs to go to XO

[cessnaxdriver]

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

Thanks

Expect 50K first year FO and no per diem. Meals are covered on company credit card.

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

I think we are going to interview for one more group in December and they are planning on X rated for this group. Hiring should pick up early next year. Classes are full thru December.

When will we see the first Challenger 300s on the line? How many CL300s are expected through the end of 08?

It was all in the press release, but I believe they start showing up 4th quarter 2008 and 3 or 4 to be delivered by the end of the year.

Are there any rumors floating around regarding the NJA new TA and it's implications at XOJET? Will they follow suit?

They have been working on a new long term pay package for quite a while. I have seen drafts, and it would have been industry leading prior to NJ's new TA. I think it is unlikely they will make changes just because NJ's package is better, but you never know.

Either way, congratulations to the NetJets pilot group. It is good for all of us each time the bar is raised.

Is there any talk on opening more domiciles/regions?

Is it true that a bunch of Swift Citation X pilots jumped over to XOJet recently? Is Swift downsizing again?

Does that mean you all get plowed at the managers reception at the Embassy Suites after a duty day? I guess those Swift guys are having a positive effect over at XO!
