you're young, and with those hours looking at least a year and half to upgrade, possibly more. The hiring frenzy is good and strong right now, and competition is fierce (by the company...not us anymore) just trying to fill the seats for a class.

GoJet as was hinted earlier was started by TSA management to get around the American 50 seat (jet) scope clause that TSA was limited by. It's kinda like what you see at Chautauqua/Shuttle/Republic .... as CHQ is only using the <50 seaters. The difference, while the companies are located in the same building, have the same president, and even fly for one of the same codeshares, the pilot seniority lists are separate. As you probably have already learned, seniority is everything in this business, and as a result, guys who jumped to gojet also jumped infront of their fellow pilots for a quick upgrade and larger equipment, and they did so without union representation (not fun) and no contract (less fun) for wages that were barely better than equal to that of TSA (who is operating planes with 14 less seats)...That's why they're "scabs" or just slightly better than them, to many individuals out there. When TSA was furloughing pilots, gojet was hiring them.

I'd say you're going to need more total time to be really competitive...your multi is actually pretty decent, especially considering the current state of the industry...i'd find a couple buddies and go split some hundred dollar hamburger trips, or go do an hour of spins in a 150, just get your total up around the 250+ range, and you might have a little bit better luck. Most regionals know they have reached rock bottom on hiring minimums with 250/ticket...and having less than 250 probably makes them even more nervous, lol.

By the way, you won't have many respect problems if you try gojet's big brother TSA, they're hiring incredibly low time guys right now, upgrading them quickly (still 1.5 for ya at least though) and if you're from STL it works nice. And you get the joy of not having to wear your badge backwards...that's priceless.
