[t-bone]

Aw, you'll miss those days at .72 Mach
Then again, maybe not.
Congratulations

He can always CLIMB at .72 when ATC asks for a good rate...

Hey Cherry. Welcome above FL280.All of those long nights busting your hump finally paid off. Can't wait to see you on the road.

 

[Whale Rider]

I'll be XOJETTING soon!

Interviewed on Friday and got the call Friday evening for a Sept. 8th class! Whoooohhoooo! See you guys soon. It was a pleasure to meet those of you I did. Thanks again t-bone for all the info and advice.

Congrats Cherry 20! Welcome to the family! :beer:

 

[ozpilot]

Congrats Cherry! Sounds like you joined a great company and XOJet got themselves a great pilot!

 

[cherry20's]

Thanks everyone! I am so excited and can't wait to go FAST! .72 in the climb... awesome... I won't miss the old days at FL280 and .65 mach!

Hey OZ, I need one of those pics of the 10 now. You mind emailing it to me?

 

[ozpilot]

I can mate, but all you have to do is right click on the image and select "Save image as". By the way the engines aren't quite that big! The pic has been photoshoped. Your going to love the X!

Congrats Cherry!

I have had a resume with them since January. Nothing but crickets so far, but I update almost everyday so I am VERY hopeful!

Wish I had a referral

Yea, sorry about that. The only image I have of it is avatar size. I've had it so long I don't even remember where I found it.

FWIW...

I was talking to an XOJet pilot, he said that they are only hiring east coast guys. Says that they are spending too much on airline travel.

To clarify this, any XOJet new hires want to give your base assignment?

 

[t-bone]

We just hired a guy last week who lives in Sacramento.

 

[TheSulaco]

Dallas based here.

 

[clydefastly]

MF here! Almost done for the week?

 

[HalinTexas]

Jeezes, how do you get an interview. Is anyone getting hired that hasn't flown a biz jet?

Live in DFW. Got an aviation "job," but I'm still looking.

 

[BengalsFan]

try flying that American flag higher than that Texas flag

 

[cherry20's]

Jeezes, how do you get an interview.

Know someone right now...

Hiring is going to increase next year a lot. Be patient buddy

 

[flyzimex]

DFW get-together

With all these DFW guys lurking here, how about a get-together to put a face to all these screen names? Great chance to network and share experiences over a beer or two.

?

Anybody interview this week and get the nod? I'm still waiting to hear and I am thinking that the silence is not a good sign.

 

[tdwnds1]

Waiting for inteview

I wouldnt worry too much that you havent heard anything.

I have been waiting for seven months and havent heard anything, but I hear thats not uncommon.

 

[Masterplan]

actually

The question was....did anyone who interviewed this week get the call about the job? I interviewed on tuesday and have yet to hear anything. I am assuming that your seven month wait was for the interview itself. Am I right?

 

[tdwnds1]

Yeah, its for the interview itself. Still waiting for my chance. Did you know someone in XO Jet?

I should have read the entire statement. My bad.

Hope you get the job!

 

[duc driver]

i have had my app in almost a year and no call.
former military and now airline......fwiw!

 

[Cpt Splash]

This is probably a T-bone Question, but here it goes. Is XO hiring 300 pilots directly into left seat, or are they just training senior guys for now? And when they start taking delivery of the 300, thats when they are going to open the flood gates?

 

[Options_SLAVE]

Rumor has it that if you want to fly an XO Jet plane you'll have to apply at flight options.


Rumors have it that something about that will break on Monday. We'll see. I never trust rumors, but I don't mind talkin' about them. ;-)

Ricci just can't keep his hands off of those X's.
