Well, today I went to Houston, TX for my final interview with ExpressJet Airlines (Continental Express). I am glad to say I was successful with the interview and have been hired for an Aug 9th class date! I will be on the EMB-145. They already provided me with a HUGE study manual and I've completed most (if not all) of the necessary paperwork. Oh boy, more ground school! Yay. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/insane.gif

Talking with friends in the industry, my family, and weighing all the options, this just seems like the best option for me right now all things considered. It's really difficult to leave my current company, but it's a chance to grow and learn. Sadly though, I won't be able to make Vegas now...... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif So if anyone needs a room PM me. I'll really miss you guys in September!

Hasn't all sunk in yet...
 
Congrats man! Good luck at expressjet. The training there is tough but I'm sure your Saab experience will serve you well.
 
No, Matt. They need to PM me, since you were going to room with me.

Congratulations! Sounds like a great move for you. And gee, why are you moving to Texas? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
 
Congrats man. I like to see people moving up in the world. Literaly in this case. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I enjoyed your posts on your indoc training at chicago express.

Reminds me there's opportunity everywhere and to keep trucking with my dream.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Congratulations Matt!!!! you just study hard and we'll snap the photos for you at NJC! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Congrats Matt! I've always like the ERJ line of jets as the -145 was the first jet I ever flew on (as a passenger of course). Hope you have fun in the front seats /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

And please do tell us what training is like when/if you get a chance /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
Congrats! One of our instructors just got hired by them as well. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
 
Congratulations, dude!!!. I've been a lurker for a long time, and remember your posts before you got hired with Chicago express. You are an inspiration to me and probably a bunch of others as well.
 
Szluka'a an inspiration to me too--that is, if half the stories from last year in Vegas are true... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I personally subscribe to the 50/50 rule, as in "half of everthing I say is B.S., the other half is wrong!" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
It's good to here from someone above the 95th percentile. You're a legend, dude! Congratulations!

Happy Landings,

JR
