Fact 3: Even captain pay is hardly notable due to lack of Pay protection.
Fact 4: Be prepared to do four day trips that pay only 4 to 8 hours.
Fact 5: DO NOT COMMUTE! it will cost you money you don't have
Fact 6: Labor Contract gets violated constantly by both Pilots and Company, so there is no leverage for Pilots to get anything worth a damn.
Fact 7: GoJet was created to avoid paying another pilot group higher wages...so why would Gojet get a contract??
Fact 8: Pilots and FAs are awesome! Great diverse and well experienced group. I met an FA that spoke 5 languages and Captains that were at Legacy carriers prior to GoJet.
Fact 9: Because of Fact 8, great people don't stick around (they have a brain and know how to use it)
Fact 10: There is too much to write about, so contact me personally or whatever and I will give you an honest analysis. I'll even do it using math. I also still have a copy of their current "Contract"
You make several valid points. Good luck to you in your next step! Where are you off too?
