No. Not at all, but it is a regional airline, and regionals are all experiencing difficulty right now. XJT is still better than most regionals, but it is still a regional.

Does anyone know if there is a minimum flight time to interview? I heard its just if you can meet ATP mins within 6 months. I'm at 700 total time right now (need 1000) and wondering if I should apply now if hiring will really be slowing down as they say it will. I'm flying around 50-60 hours a month so I feel I could meet the minimums by October/November. Thanks!

I know you have problems sticking to a specific item but the blanket statement was not true and I addressed a specific portion.

Also, see if you answer questions without having to use a quote. It saves time reading your dribble.

And I'm addressing a specific portion of your untrue blanket statement. Fact is that if you only take into account both contracts rates, matching funds, and B funds, the LXJT FO compensation is higher at all longevity years and the captain compensation doesn't catch up until 16 years longevity. Again, that doesn't account for the higher vacation accrual, higher sick accrual, higher per diem, better LTD, lower insurance premium caps.

How would that work for folks coming out of the military?

And is is it only ALPA they are trying to involve?
