I have to say that you're a positive person, and that is what is needed in situations like this. I'm in the pool w/ you as well and in terms of looking elsewhere, I think the writing is really on the wall that we won't have a class date for at least 4-6 more months. In my opinion it would be in your best interest to at least look at other airlines and maybe interview with a few. Remember, the whole interview process will most likely take a month from applying, to hearing back from them, to getting an interview, to getting an offer and subsequent class date etc...so with that in mind, applying elsewhere buys you a month to hear from Angela, but also have an opportunity at another carrier.
I'm with you man, XJT was the airline I wanted to be with, and I didn't want to go through the application process again, but I think it is in most people's interest to at least look out for something else. I get the feeling that the economy is only going to worsen, and the time to get on w/ a regional that isn't a bottom feeder is now. It's a really bitter pill to swallow, but I think one that a lot of us in the pool will have to if this keeps up. Worse case scenario-you don't get on with any other regional, you always have XJT as a fall back whenever they come calling? Just my two cents.
^^ Word. That's my plan too. Which other airlines are you looking at? I'm just hoping that other airlines wouldn't force our resignation from the XJT pool as a hiring pre-requisite.
