Granted, they were all there looking for other opportunities, but whatever.

Don't listen to all the negative people on here. We do have issues but it's still a great regional with a great contract.

I'm living on the west coast, hoping to commute to Houston. Am I doomed to commute to Newark for the foreseeable future?

I am just curious why not Compass when they have an LAX base? As far as XJT if you get the ERJ you might be able to hold DFW sooner than IAH.

I've turned down a lot of regional jobs, including compass. But, I've been out of the cockpit for 6 months now, and XJT came along when I needed it. I will be training in the ERJ, so DFW is on the radar, I've just heard it is easier to commute to Houston.

Lives on west coast and turns down a growing airline with two west coast bases in favor of a commute two time zones away in Texas. ... There must be a woman.

orrrrr he values himself as a pilot and wants to work for a decent contract. Like he said, out of the cockpit for a while. Probably just a mil guy getting current and off to UAL/AA/DAL he goes! If not, then who cares? he's building your seniority and making you closer to upgrade. Thank goodness theres an influx (however little) of guys coming to new hire training, makes it easier for us to bid for more flying.

Both right. There are actually 3 women, a wife (who is currently bringing home the bacon) and 2 daughters. Im retired military, ive got the min hours for a major, and most of my time is PIC, but like I said, nobody is beating down my door. I was pretty confident that I was going to be getting the call from SWA this week, but still haven't heard anything (no offer, no rejection), so it's time to get current, build hours, and get some Part 121 experience.

Congrats. Hope your stint in this squalid corner of the profession is brief and productive. Your family has probably waited long enough for some stability in the family life. Commuting to Texas won't bring it, but you're in the home stretch. SWA, or insert legacy here, sure will.

This seems like an excellent way for XJT to spend money on training... Getting mil guys current to move on in 6 months!!?!?
Does anyone in recruitment even care? Or do they just want butts in seats?
