Need some help. I've spent the day scouring countless GoJet threads and now I'm more confused & frustrated than ever.
I'm a furloughed pilot, been furloughed for a year, can't find a flying job and I'm looking at applying at GoJet. My main attraction to GoJet is the quick upgrade. Recruiters I've spoken with at other regionals have told me I'm looking at 5 years to the left seat at those regionals.
I know the definition of a scab, (I was ALPA committee member at the airline I'm furloughed from). Some pilots say flying for GoJet is scabbing, an equal amount of pilots say not. Some say you're a scab "in spirit". What the heck is a scab in spirit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but GoJet pilots aren't crossing picket lines or flying stuck work or taking anyones job. I'm confused
Also, how will being a GoJet pilot affect me when applying at a legacy airline.
Regarding jumpseating, Some people say GoJet pilots get denied jumpseats all the time, an equal amount say that's not true. These forums are ALL over the place regarding the truth to being denied jumpseats.
(Mods: please don't delete my post, I'm just a freight dog seeking honest answers and trying to avoid drama.)
Please help, Thanks!
