Default GoJet Pilot perceptions or misconceptions?

Back in 2004 when I graduated from college many people in the forums, at my flight school, and on youtube videos were saying negative things about GoJet pilots. I have no ill feelings towards them as I know nothing about the pilot group at GoJet that would give them a negative image. But since I have previously heard negative things about working for GoJet I am curious if it would look bad on the resume working there. All I know is that GoJet First Officers are some of the lowest paid jet FO's in the industry, but aside from that I don't know why working there would look bad within the industry. Has the perception of GoJet pilots changed over the years or do I have a misconception that working for GoJet is bad?

I am considering GoJet for their Captain Qualified First Officer program. Are CQFO's viewed differently and are they disliked within the company? I have just over 4000 total time and 1000 PIC multi engine turboprop flight time, but I have no jet time and no experience flying pax. I'd consider the CQFO option at GoJet for a quick upgrade in the CRJ700.

Any thoughts?
