XJT trying to Scam pilots?

[cybourg10]

What makes you think it was ever up so high to begin with? Sooner or later, y'all will realize: ALL Regionals suck.

Not true most suck and are continuing to suck harder every day but I have been told of a time where XJT was quite the quality company to work for, its too bad the route they have gone down the past 2 years.

DJD- Yea I was part of the LAX/Branded operation before it started going down hill and although I didn't have as many problems with the company as some others did we were definitely treated as the red-headed step children. Oh well, if I close my eyes and think hard enough I can picture myself back in SAN with great crews, food, drink, and QOL but then I open them back up and I'm in Lindy waiting for a gate and missing my commute lol.

Thats what I do, just close my eyes and go la la la la la la.............

Then I pretend I'm going on the long SFO/SEA/SAN/SJC/LAS/DEN/LAS/GEG/EUG/PDX/LTO/MZT overnite or sitting LC RV on the beach in Manhattan or hitting up El Torrito Taco Tuesday in Redondo.

Imagine the shock and horror when I'm ending up on the 8-10 hour BRO/HRL/LBB/AMA/ORF/ROC/MFE/MAF/ELP/BJX/PBC/JAN.......you get the idea.

How is it a "scam" if you owe them money? Sounds like some of you are trying to "scam" them by not paying something that you owe to them. Quit being such a cheapskate and pay up.

I don't think anyone is trying to avoid paying anything they owe. I think the point is that when one resigns or gets furloughed from an airline it is not an instantaneous event. Notices have to be given and it takes several months from your exit date to finish getting paid. That is adequate time for payroll to determine if you owe them anything or not. Having the payroll department fail at their duties should not result in you being reported to a collection agency.

You by chance don't run naked down the street from bars and have the initials HH would you?

That sounds like a fun story, but NO.

I'll tell you what the scam is!! The scam is having to pay for your uniforms. What a joke! It's not like it is something you can wear on your own time. The companies should be paying for this, not some underpaid RJ FO! My advice, don't pay the bill!! Some scumbag carrier tried pulling this on me and they didn't get 1 red cent!!! They will give up after a while. And they aren't going to pay $1,000 plus dollars on lawyers to take you to court.

Concur. Do any regionals provide uniforms for their pilots? After all, XJT has the "industry-leading" contract, right?

LMFAO!!!

I think this situation is a fine example of the disturbing lack of professionalism that XJT is rapidly becoming know for throughout the industry. No thought was put into how this would actually affect the people they are going after. If you do not work there anymore I would consider yourself very, very fortunate.

Please explain? I would venture to say that XJT treats its employees better than the employer that furloughed you (UAL).

Is this you?

Not close to industry leading in this department. They only reimburse $150/year for a maximum of $450.

Care to share a "generic" version of this? :laugh:

Midtown Houston has seen the goods.

XJT is really going down the tubes. While I was there, I had problem after problem after problem...and so on, with the payroll dept. Underpaid many times. Double payroll deducted for uniforms, ie they claimed I never paid for it, but I had the check stubs to prove it. Yet they couldn't look in their own system and track it?! WTF. Taxes deducted wrongly. Plus they are very difficult to get a hold of making it even all the more stressful to get them to correct their errors. What a disgrace. Glad I'm out of there.

RX:
Take those uniforms and fold them neatly. take an appropriately sized box, and put a garbage bag in the box opened up. Place the uniforms in the box, in the opened garbage bag. Go to DEN "B" concourse, hit QueBueno for a chorizo burrito, on the way home have a double dose of your favorite laxitive. Dispense a$$ pudding into the box/garbage bag on the uniforms, wipe with said tie and neatly place the hat on top of the steaming pudding pile. Securely zip tie the garbage bag and secure the box. UPS/FedEx said box to former employers payroll dept.
Have a good nights sleep with a freshly cleansed colon.

P.S. I returned an ID to a former employer via the mail after scratching my tater with it(used rubber gloves). Pflukkeerz!

That sucks. However, by definition, it is not a scam. If you don't like their uniform policy, why take a job with them?
