XOJet Update

[flyzimex]

The wait looks loooooooooong!!!!!!!!!

they had over 900 something applications for about 58 slots this year!?!

Referring to a statement made by XOJET's DO I read in one of the articles posted on their website, "about 100 pilots interviewed to fill 10 slots", I guess quite a few of those 900 will be called this year..

Yeah about 600 or so huh! I doubt they will interview that many for 58 spots but I guess you never know. I just want a shot at one!

Hey Cherry, do you fly out of Addison? I went to flight school there some ten years ago and am now back in the area..

I ask this question with caution of getting my head chewed off. Does anyone know what the competitive times are for being hired minus an internal recommendation or what the recruiters are looking for in interviewees? I would assume without a rec. you would need more experience to stand out.


Thanks

Yeah Mex, I'm based at ADS, everyone at Cherry is for the most part. Were did you do your training at, AF, Monarch, or Henly's. I know there used to be more but I can't remember what they were. I did some training at Monarch and twisted wrenches there off and on for 2 1/2 years or so. Who do you fly for now in Dallas?

Soiux, I don't think you need a lot of time to stand out (from what I've heard). Mins plus 1000 I would think would be competitive. It really matters on the type of flight time you have (from what I've heard). I know that they like 135 on demand time (I got lots of that) and 91 time with passenger flying. They still don't like hiring airline guys looking for a bail out job (from what I've heard).

I should have just waited for t-bone to post up what he thinks. I did just have a friend go through INDOC last week and thats what he was telling me. Hope this helps some.

That's what I'd be thinking as well. If they have 900+ applicants for 58 slots, that tells me that you don't have much of a chance without an internal rec. T-bone? Any comments or possible answers?

Make sure you tell them that in the interview!

 

[cherry20's]

The time might get you an interview, but your personality won't get you a job!!

Nice! Glad to see someone else out there gets what we're looking for.

2000 hours in the 300, all PIC? You didn't do a single hour of IOE? You were dispatched as captain right out of the gate? You have NEVER been dispatched as SIC?

Anyone else call BullSh*t?

 

[cherry20's]

Check your PM's t-bone.

58 new pilots this year sound about right?

15/13 Tier 2 Schedule

Is it common for the Tier Two Pilots to be airlined home during a 15 day sortie? My apologies if this question has already been asked.
