I'm a current National Guard Helicopter pilot who is looking into GoJet.... Let me rephrase - WAS looking into GoJet... It sounds like they really are bad news huh? Let me present a question to the group, if you had to order the following list of regionals from best to worst - how would you arrange it (as of today)??
- GoJet
- Republic
- PSA
- ExpressJet
This will really help out in streamlining my application process! THANKS!
I am an ex employee of one of these companies, and I worked for another one. I know quite a few people in the other two as well so I'll try to give you my honest opinion.
ExpressJet is a dead horse. their future is very uncertain, so I wouldn't go there.
Republic is garbage, don't even think about it. The pilot group is great, it has nothing to do with them. Management will abused you more than at any other airline. Their contract, in my opinion, is one of the worst in the industry if not the worst. When you compare contracts don't just look at the money. QOL is just as important. Now if you live in one of their bases, and it will save you the commute, I can't blame me for going there.
PSA is growing and is told to be hiring until mid 2017.
Any regional you'll choose will be a mixed bag of good and bad, there is no such thing as a good regional. You just need to think what are your priorities.
Hope that helps
