When, at the end of the interview, the HR person usually asks "Do you have any questions for me?" should I ask about some "questionable" former employee treatment stories I've heard and then gauge her reaction? I'm usually pretty good at reading people and seeing them try to lie or make something up on the spot...

I've just heard so much crap on here about GoJet that I find it hard to believe that the majority of it is true! I find it hard to believe that the regionals are a "Union Industry" and yet people can be fired for taking medical leave for injuries, or taking leave to care for their family members, or being injured on the job and then FIRED immediately after it happened... HOW could this sort of thing go on and not get MASSIVE media attention?? How are the unions not getting involved to straighten out managment and make sure that the employees remain EMPLOYED?!

I realize that there are some GoJet pilots on here that do love their jobs and do just fine on a day to day basis (I genuinely HOPE I can do the same thing if I am offered a job), and even I realize that no matter where I go in the regionals - It's gonna SUCK... The pay is going to suck, the hours are going to suck, being away from my fiancee / wife for long periods of time will really suck... But of all the advice I have gathered from regional pilots, the MAIN item seems to be "DO NOT COMMUTE IF POSSIBLE"....

I live 15 minutes from a GoJet domicile (KRDU)... The next closest domiciles are KGSO (Republic) and KCLT (PSA)... GSO is about a 1.5 hour drive from my front door... Charlotte is 3+ hour drive (probably a crash pad as well)... With that being the case and my options, What would you do?
