Please, if not interviewed recently or not a present or former GoJet Pilot avoid flaming, baiting, or making rude comments. If you know someone who works or worked at GoJet and would like to share what they told you about the company, feel free to do so. I would be willing to bet this thread will be closed by the morning, but lets see if we can have some "Pilots helping Pilots" for a refreshing change.
the interview was comfortable and laid back. there are a few gouges available online.
training pay is a 60 hr a month guarantee, not including per diem. the company originally 'bases' you in STL so they can avoid per diem all together. further down the line, they also do this with STL based pilots for recurrent training.
The company is once again paying for lodging during training.
CQFO's aren't going to be treated with any hostility by the pilot group. many FO's may be a bit reluctant to babysit, however. your chances of holding a line as a D.E.C. are non-existent. the most jr. line holding captain is ORD based, and a July '09 hire.
life as a relatively senior line holder is tolerable. for december, i was awarded an 82 hr line with 16 days off (including the entire week of christmas, and new years eve as well)
* a pay raise is rumored for the spring of 2012, along with substantial improvements of work rules. granted, it's a rumor, so take that fwiw.
good luck with your interview.
