There are a lot of really good guys there at GoJet that I had the opportunity to fly with for a couple of months, so none of what I'm about to say is a knock on them, but here are some thoughts you might want to consider.
If you live in STL take a good hard look at Trans States. There's a fresh rumor floating around the board about them getting a lot of new growth, and if that happens, and you're at GoJet, they'll be no crossing over.
If you live in ORD, again, look at TSA or SkyWest. Yes, the upgrade at GoJet is probably shorter, but these days, perhaps not by too much. Better company, and you're going to make more money.
If you live in DEN, make sure and get some current info on how senior that base is, and how large it is. When I left, it was still pretty small and very senior.
If you live in RDU, probably better in a lot of ways to just go to PSA and drive to CLT. Also, the rumor is that as Delta increases 717 flying in LGA, there will be less of a reason to have an RDU base, and maybe it goes away. The latter rumor is totally unsubstantiated, but within the realm of possibility.
Just my random thoughts on the matter.
