XOJet Update

[flyzimex]

Do you guys think 8/6 is going to be the best schedule offered by XO or that they might eventually go to 7/7??

This has been asked and answered a few times before. At the moment there is no talk due to the way they do their crewchanges. The future, who knows?

You do know they offer a 15/13 schedule as well, don't you? This I would personally opt for if I was there. A long time away from home for many, but after doing 5/5 (weeks) rotations in Sudan and the Sahara for three years it I think would be a breeze to fly around the US for two weeks and staying in hotels. Not saying they don't work hard, but if you have lived in a container in the Sahara for five weeks at a time you would know what I mean.
One also gets spoiled once you get a taste of these long periods of time off.

Just my .02 cents.

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. How long was your app in for? Did anyone walk it in.

 

[cherry20's]

Been in since Dec last year. Had an internal walk it in.

Everyone that interviewed with me had at least one contact at XO. They, I mean WE (been waiting to say that) will be hiring a lot next year so don't give up hope. It has got to be the best place I can imagine being at.

That's exciting! Good luck to you.

Welcome aboard! Now it's your responsibility to help maintain the culture here that we value so much. No tool boxes allowed!

I assume you're going into the 10...did they say? Be sure to let me know when you're in town for training, we'll grab a celebratory beverage.

 

[cherry20's]

They actually didn't say but I'm assuming the 10.

RM told me indoc on the 8th but my online app says indoc on the 1st? I need to figure that one out tomorrow I guess. Either way, I'll get ahold of you for some beers!

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?
