chances are i will get stuck in ord for a few months before i can bid to den or rdu?
other than the whipsawing b.s. that i really dont care to understand nor do i want to. is it a good group of pilots to fly with?
are credit and block the same?
also i seriously need help with figuring out what to do about reading LIDO charts. i hate them and prefer jepps. i get confused on how to read them and thats the last thing i want to be doing in the sim.
Before the usual TSA guys come on here and ramble on with their nonsense let me give my input from an actual G7 "scab" or whatever they call us nowadays.
Plan to sit reserve 1 month at that most
Yes 18 months. Upgrading 20 a month till I guess whenever they can't upgrade anymore.
I've been here a year now and give or take moving up 10-20 senority numbers a month.
You should be able to hold RDU right out of training. STL is the junior base though for FO's.
From my experiences awesome group of guys to fly with. Never have had any problems so far. Of course every airline has that 2% but I haven't seen them yet. (Most of them are over at TSA). This isn't 2005 anymore. I've never been denied a jumpseat and most majors I jumpseat on they have no clue who GoJet even is. Lot of guys leaving to JBU and UAL at the moment so don't believe the crap people spill on here about tarnishing your career. I myself have an interview next month at another major 121 carrier so it's worked out for me.
I don't need to say our contract sucks. It does. Really bad. We all know it and everyone in this industry knows it. Look how long TSA took to finally get theirs. But I will say whenever hell freezes over and we do get one it will be better than TSA's.
And finally yes LIDO's do suck but we're still using Jepps now at the moment. No trial period has been approved for use of them in flight yet.
That's all I got. Now to wait for the trolls.
