XOJet Update

[Lear70]

Man, I was hoping T-Bone would throw the REST of us a bone on when hiring will start picking back up in earnest again. We knew it wouldn't be until late fall, but any news of anything earlier would be very nice!

Please? LOL

Keeping the old thread alive...a few questions if anyone can help a mil/121 guy looking for some fresh air:
Any Reserve/Guard folks there?

If yes, how does the company deal with mil leave requests?

How does the 7/7 or 8/6 schedule work with your mil schedule?

Does management frown on mil during the hire process / interview?

Any help is appreciated--thanks.

Sorry man, all I can tell you is that we've got a handful of guys starting IOE this rotation. All of our king air drivers just finished 10 school (we got rid of the king airs) so we've got about 10 guys and gals to get worked into the system. That may be why we haven't had interviews in a few weeks.

Wish I had better info for you!

I have applied about 6 months ago and updated 2 times since without a word yet. Any one get a call or e-mail from XO-Jet?

 

[cherry20's]

Got an email a couple of weeks ago and I am expecting a call in the next couple of days hopefully. Been waiting 6 1/2 months and updating every week or two. I'll post something when Randy calls me and let you know what I find out.

 

[lookin4better]

Hey Cherry , do you have some inside help that aided in getting an email?

 

[cherry20's]

Yeah, I have a recomendation on the inside. I think that is the only reason I got a call

 

[X-Wind]

Great News cherry20's,

Good Luck!

 

[Lampshade]

Cherry20's what are your stats?

Cherry20's what are your stats?

6'1", Brown hair, Blue eyes, can run the 40 yard dash in about 2 days. Just kidding

4000 TT
1600 JPIC
Check Airman/Sim and Plane
2800 hours part 135 on demand flying

I really think they only called me was because of a recommendation. I did talk to another guy on here who didn't know anyone and he got the same call that I got. I think he was a G4 Capt and had around 8000 TT. Hope this helps lampshade.

Is there longevity pay at XOJET ? ie yearly bumps?

I remember also hearing about bonuses....any info on them?

Yes, there is, but it's a complicated system to explain. Basically, the payscale is designed to reward longevity as well as company performance. Longevity pay is through advancement from Level 1 pay to Level 2, 3, 4...and so on. When company perfomance goals are met, the entire pilot group advances from one Tier of pay 'levels' to the next Tier. This policy started in January, so we're still on the first Tier, which has a starting PIC pay of $90K. The payscale tops out at $145K at Level (year) 14 pay on the highest Tier we have.

I know there are easier systems out there, but considering this is our first official policy, I think it's a good start.

T-Bone:

Any hiring updates? Also, do you have any info on the BOS and PWM bases? I would be VERY interested in those.

Leave T-Bone alone, He is in the sim during the day and I would bet having a well deserved frosty beverage at night.

You can live there and go to work from there. No Problem. In fact, you can live just about anyplace you want. Where you live will dictate the schedule/rotation you are on.

Hope this helps

I happened to go by Simuflite/Bombardier last week.
Three more XOjet names in 300 school.

 

[Way2Broke]

I applied about a week ago. PHX or DEN would be my top picks, but I would be willing to move anywhere. T-bone how many planes and crews are they planning on expanding into each year? What is the planned international growth all about? I was recently layed off due to a fleet reduction, would going back into piston equipment until I got the call hurt me or would you take a lower paying turbine job? Thanks for all the help, you seem to be one of the best sources of information on XOJet on Flight Info.

That's funny stuff right there.

 

[cherry20's]

I thought so too! Haha. I got your resume as well W2B

 

[godspeed8]

Anybody hear anything from XOJet lately? How's the hiring going? Just curious if that's still on hold. My resume is probably a ways from the top, but I'm still updating and crossing my fingers
