I was wondering everyone's thoughts. It looks like I have offers from RAH and gojet. I know each have there problems but I am at Colgan so can't really stay there. I really don't want to get into the gojet history but current position. Here is what I know
RAH: it appears like I will be on 145 or q400. Dont really care except for 145 commute would suck. I know they are in contract talks for awhile, heard reserve sucks.
Gojet: heard about jumpseating issues but commute will be on gojet so no big deal. Assumed growth with new delta 50 seat downsize. Young pilot group with quicker upgrade.
I would like opinions from actual employees from each and not all this gojet history junk. I know that comes into play but I know about it. Thanks everyone for your thoughts
Go to RAH, at least you'll be able to sleep better at night, and you won't have to worry about hitching a ride home. I've personally turned away many gojets pilots, so it does happen, and I know I'm not the only one.
Funny story, had a g7 guy ask for the Jumpseat a while back, I asked for his ID he said it was in his bag, I said "ok who do you work for?" He said Transtates Holdings, I said "which aircraft do you fly?" He then took the slip out of my hands and went right up the jetway. The gate agent said that this was the second flight with seats he couldn't get on. Can't imagine why!
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
I bet you hand fly every leg from take off until landing too, right. *eyeroll*
Good thing I never tried to Jumpseat on your plane eh "Captain"?
I worked at G7 (and commuted) for over 4 years. I never had any issues and I rode "express" carriers including "Alter-Eagle" Trans Statessssss not mainline. BTW training at G7 is pretty much all self study.
