Why do you think UPS and FedEx have the most-professional/best trained pilots?

No I think he was being accurate, XJ has some of best trained, most professional pilots in the industry. Maybe one day I can hope to achieve the honor of working at XJ, hey BlastOff how bout a recommendation??

Congrats XJets guys on some good news during rough times. Sure I'm jealous but I got alot of good friends there and last I heard, there were rumors of furloughs. One of my buddies is getting married soon, so its just nice to hear that things are (hopefully) getting better. Good luck and fly safe.

For anyone wondering, I have asked the MODS to Delete this thread. I have received several PM's about this thread (requesting I delete it) so Hopefully the MODS will respect my wishes and get rid of this Thread, and we can start a new one called "Contract flying abroad or something"

I've never once wished a furlough on anyone. Show me where? I can't remember the last time you made an argument that was based on actual information. I admire your tenacity though keep it up. I like the laugh.

I was serious, since you've lived in about 7 different locations in the past 3 years, I want to hear about all your expat flying experience. I mean, I've heard from other guys I know that did the expat route, I just wanted to hear your experience.

You can try and make an argument out of anything I love it. "You've heard from other guys" haha. Guess those guys you've heard from are magically more credible than the friends I talk to on a regular basis who are still doing it and the reason I have an interview offer.
