XOJet Update

[Capthuff]

SKi and Surf? Are you with NJ? I have heard the X was a brutal ride, like the worst in the whole system. Was that a typical tour?

Perhaps I am misunderstanding something here.

I believe no NetJet pilot will ever go 8 hours with no food because they will order you crew meals right?

How about XO-Jet? am I to believe that dispatch wont order you food even if you have a tight turn? I hope I'm wrong.

I thought Doyle was the only one not getting it. All T-Bone was saying in his original post was that if we prefer, we can go anyplace we like and get good food to bring along instead of catering, and the company will pay for it. For those who want to order catering knock yourself out! There are no special crew menus for catering. You can order anything you wish. Just let flight services know what you want, and it will magically appear. Anytime... Any trip... no questions asked.

All of our planes have microwave ovens, so T-Bones PF Changes idea is a winner. Thanks T!

mmmmm... PF Changs... yummy

cool. I thought I remembered reading that somewhere in this thread, but it is getting so long and I didnt feel like re-reading it all.

Yes, NJs.

And there is no such thing as typical, when talking about NJs.

anyone hear anything?

Nothing yet. Submitted my stuff in December. I feel like a neurotic prom date. Why haven't they called me yet?

Just Kidding

Hoping I hear something before May but who knows, I have no internal recs.

i know. whats it take to get a call from these guys.

 

[doylehargraves]

I didn't misunderstand here. All I'm saying is the company puts the burden on YOU to get food. That is a pain in my opinion. I don't want to have to worry about ordering food everyday; I have enough going on during the day that I don't want to have to worry about the F/O wanting mexican when I want chinese and then having to direct that information to dispatch.

Just send me some food every 6 hours and I'm good. P.S. good luck.

Burden? Are you serious? If deciding what you would like to eat on any given day is just too much for you to handle, maybe this flying thing isn't for you.

I believe most people would prefer a choice, but if there is anyone out there who shares your opinion, arrangements can easily be made to ensure your boring, tired, old, turkey sandwich shows up each and every day with no input from you. I'm pretty sure you're just trying to be difficult, but I could be wrong. If so, please forgive me, and do yourself a favor. Try something new once in a while!

This thread has been quiet lately. I'm just wondering if anybody knows what competitive qualifications are for XOJet. Is there any chance of being interviewed from just submitting an application or do you have to know someone? Is there a training contract for XOJ and if so do they type you during initial training?

Thanks

I think you have to have an internal rec to get a call right now. Read that on APC. No training contracts and they do type you after INDOC at Flight Safety in TOL.

It has been really quite here?

I don't know anybody there so I guess that's that.

FWIW, I talked to a guy that interviewed there recently. Said it all went good, and was offered a job. But he turned the job offer down. He wasnt too convinced of their business plan.

(he has a good job now, and was only going to go if he felt good about it. Apparently, he wasnt to convinced).

 

[t-bone]

1500 apps on file. Interviews are being held about every other week, 5-6 per session. Most everyone getting called has an internal recommendation. Look for us out on the road, at recurrent training, anywhere. Good luck.

And good luck to the guy that turned down the job offer. If he didn't leave with a good feeling, then he did what was right for him and his.

2 deliveries in March, with 10 total for the rest of the year (ce750s). We've started the first steps of building the 300 training program, still expecting the first to show up in September. No significant changes otherwise.

Am I correct to assume that all of those "on file" meet application mins?

Anyone have a website for XOJET?

 

[cherry20's]

Did you try www.XOJET.com? Sounds easy enough doesn't it.

Google Is Your Friend

All Smart People Use Google

It Appears That You Are Not One Of Them

Someone thinks you are an idiot because you were too stupid to check Google before asking a question. They gave you a link to this site as a joke. The fact that you followed it pretty much proves the point.
Hope that helps.
Have a nice day.

OK, this is what I've heard. Taking delivery of 11 X's this year, and 3-5 300s start showing up in September. So 14-16 airplanes x 4.7 pilots/plane = 65.8-75.2 pilots. Throw in vacation days that will need to be covered starting in November when our vacation policy goes into effect, and that'll easily bring the demand up closer to 100.

The plan is to triple our fleet from its current size of 17 airplanes to 51 airplanes within the next 24 months. Then double it again to 104 within the following 24 months.

As for being gone from home a lot, that all depends on where you live. If you live near one of our MX bases (MCC, VNY, ILG) you'll get home during your tours. I live near one, got home last night, spent all day today sitting on my couch watching football, and head out tomorrow morning on my next trip. Tuesday is the transition, so I only need to pack for a few days!

If you choose not to move, then you should plan on being gone for the entire tour. It's your decision.

Hope that answers some of your questions.

Yo T-Bone,

You had 17 planes in January. How many you guys have now? Are you still going to have over 50 by end of next year?
