Pilot Mentor Manual February 2015, rev D Introduction Welcome aboard! Congratulations on your new career here at ExpressJet. Let me take this opportunity to tell you about a unique program offered by your ExpressJet ALPA Master Executive Council (MEC). It is called the Pilot Mentor Program, and is designed to assist you throughout your probationary year with ExpressJet. The Pilot Mentor Program began in 2006 at ExpressJet, and has been revised and extended after the merger of Atlantic Southeast and ExpressJet. The program pairs experienced line pilots with new hire pilots in an effort to answer many of the frequently asked questions from new hires. Pilot Mentors also assist new hires as they transition from the training environment to flying the line, and throughout their probationary year. Another goal of the program was to provide a pilot manual/guide that could be used as a reference resource. We hope your training and experience thus far at ExpressJet has been a positive one. Your suggestions on how to improve this program and manual are encouraged and welcome. Please email your ideas and comments to your Pilot Mentor Committee.

February 2015 ii Foreword Fellow pilots, Welcome to ExpressJet. Whether you are a new-hire pilot or are returning to the property from furlough or some form of leave, we want to assist you during your transition to flying the line. As chairman of the ExpressJet Master Executive Council of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), I would like to take this opportunity to offer a warm welcome to all of you. ALPA has a wide variety of resources and benefits available to you, either as an apprentice union member during your probation year or as a returning pilot. We have over 20 different volunteer pilot committees serving our pilot group. These include Contract Enforcement, Safety, Pilot Mentor Program, Professional Standards, Hotel, Pilot Assistance, Aeromedical, and Training, among others. Please log on to the XJT MEC website at expressjet.alpa.org to learn more about the resources available to you. New-Hire Pilots For our new-hire pilots, all of us were new at one time. We remember well the stress of getting acquainted with new careers, bases, policies, and, in some cases, different homes. The enclosed manual was developed specifically for new-hire pilots and contains a wealth of information for your use. We hope you find it helpful during your probationary year at ExpressJet Airlines. The manual may be downloaded from the XJT MEC website under Documents > Mentor Manual. Please contact your pilot mentor with any questions or concerns you may have, or e-mail the Pilot Mentor Program Committee anytime at [email protected]. Returning Pilots We are glad to have you back at ExpressJet. We know that returning to the property after an absence can be stressful, regardless of the reason for the absence or the length of time that you were gone. The enclosed manual, originally developed for new-hire pilots, has been updated to offer a reminder of the information and resources available for your use. We hope you find it helpful during your transition period back to flying the line. The manual may be downloaded from the XJT MEC website under Documents > Mentor Manual. Please contact your pilot mentor with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the entire pilot group, we wish you well throughout the remainder of your training and look forward to seeing you on the line. Take care and fly safely.
