Was not refering to you.....sorry. I was refering to the director of the flight department who wrote a couple of posts earlier in this string.
Anyway...I dont care that they are not flying the Premier or the King Air....I would just like to know how things are going there....attitudes, rumour, busy or not? What is being said about the UAE base with all the money coming from over there? Is the flying in UAE for the investors or are there actually some customers there? Business picking up from corporate departments that are downsizing? Customers coming over from fractionals?

Thanks.

I've NEVER interviewed at XO. I was there in Nov and saw the B200 tucked away in the corner. The Premier was in pieces scattered around the hangar. The guy I was with said it hasn't flown in months.

That's all.

We are really busy right now, of course, but it has been very steady since even before the holidays. There has been a lot more flying in the ME lately! Don't know if they are "owner" or charter trips though...

I think that attitudes are still great and only good rumors we are hearing every week in conference calls. Growth and new "things" coming to XO. Some is private stuff still but I can tell you we are getting our entire fleet fitted with inflight internet starting this month.

I have noticed a lot of "Frac" owners coming our way lately. Don't know about Corp flight depts though.

We just hired 2 more guys last month and they are now both online flying. 1 is going to the ME as a full time guy and the other is staying stateside. They are still real gun shy to hire a big class yet... I have a feeling we will start having some more classes soon though. Deliveries of the 300 will start back up soon...

Hope this helps and Good luck, its a great place to work!
