There has been enough threads on GJ that people know what opinions are out there. And there are other "terrible places" to go too. Most folks know the history of GJ, yet
not all agree that they are the single scourge of the regional industry that many here would have you believe.
As for getting turned down at majors or for a jumpseat, I don't see it happening. The same things were said about Comair and Continental Express pilots that paid for their training in the mid 90's and PFT was far more insidious to the profession than Go Jet.
I don't have the warm and fuzzies about Go Jet's beginnings either and I agree that the initial hires that knowingly circumvented the TSA seniority list had questionable ethics. However, today's GJ new-hires are not negatively affecting the industry any more than new-hires at other regionals.
Someone that has made their decision to shoot for Go Jet should be able to get the information they seek without harassment from people on a personal crusade to "inform" according to their opinions.
