Honestly, you don't want to work there, terrible work rules, terrible contract, a company that can give you a day off when you're "on the road" but doesn't have to bring you home, and therefore could fly you forever as long as they don't break FAA work rules.

They're an alter ego carrier, started up to get around a scope clause at Trans States Airlines, they have the same management as TSA, same training center, different certificate, different senority list, and aren't really liked by a good chunk of the regional pilots out there. End result, you go to go jet, you leave, get hired on at a major, as do all the people from everywhere else in the industry. While at gojet, you are hounded by other airline pilots (those that will talk to you) when you leave, they ask where you came from, and they remember that you were a go jet pilot, and hound you again. Not really worth it, i don't believe in that "they'll never get another 121 job" thing, but they'll be suffering in the next one, and the one after that, and after that...

Anyone really nice to freedom A guys yet?
Ive got the time to go to the left seat. I just lost my corporate job so no 121 time. A little 135 time from 10 years ago.

I haven't been anywhere near the airline side of aviation for about 10 years. However, I have had it with the corporate side. So, with no contacts in the airline side, I am starting out pretty fresh. 6100TT/3500ME/2100Turbine Part25 Aircraft.

GoJets was just the first company to call back.
