One other thing I am curious about - is XJET going to want me to have my CFI/CFII/MEI? I only ask since I know someone with about 2000TT and a BE350 type who was told at his interview to go teach for 6 months and then come back to see them. This was about 3 years ago now and he's flying a Lear 55 now. Never went back to XJET because he didn't want to work as a CFI just to get another shot with them.
I don't necessarily want to have to instruct either.

It probably won't hurt to have the CFI, but most likely the reason the guy was told to go back and get his CFI was because some of his knowledge was a little weak. My sim partner for instance had no CFI, but he did have over 1200 hours. They want to see the quality of your flight time and just quanity. If you just have 600 hours of flying around yourself doing fun x/c's, then another guy next to you had 600 TT and 300 of as instruction, he might be looked at as having better flight time. However I would just throw your app in, and if they turn you down then you can interview in another 6 months. During that time you can get your CFI if you want. Like the previous poster said, senority is everything.
