Ceyoung - gojets is a company where the management tried to negotiate with the employees, in this case the pilots, wanting them to fly larger equipment for the same amount of money. When the pilots refused and asked for additional pay when flying the larger equipment the company simply started a new company within the old one (TSA). It's a very shameful tactic yet that's the fact.

To top it all off, when GoJets was started many new-hire pilots in training at TSA were furloughed all of a sudden, yet they all got an offer to fly for GoJets instead. Most refused and rightfully so!

I do not look at Gojets' pilots as scabs (pilots who crossed a picket line) yet I do believe they condone their company’s behavior by accepting a pilot position there. At my previous airline I did see a captain tell a go-jet pilot to "get off his airplane" when asked for a jumpseat (the captain was a former TSA pilot).

Personally I think you should listen to your friend, he/she sounds like someone who knows what he/she is talking about and also someone who wants you to succeed.

I know you hate being a cfi and that you got bills to pay. Most us were in your position not too long ago. Trust me; you’ll have much better opportunities before you know it.
