No one here is having any more difficulty finding employment at other airlines than any other qualified pilot out there. There is no list of all the pilots who fly here and even if one existed, it would not hinder your career. The people who care about this kind of thing are the kind of people who come to work, do as little as possible, and go home. There isn't anything wrong with that kind of motivation except that they won't likely be the ones in a position to interview you in the future. Most of the information on this forum is ignorant rhetoric that has very little grounding in fact. Take this information as you will but remember; when you make decisions in this industry, make sure you research the facts, and read very much against the grain when participating in a forum such as this.

You have a contract that will not be enforced due to evil management and a weak union that will take your money and not fight for you.
You have cass, but many many regional captains would never let you sit in the back, let alone the cockpit.
As time passes, more and more regional pilots will move to the majors. You will experience first hand the negative effects of having GoJet on your resume.
Everyone, from the highly motivated to the underachievers, has an opinion on gojets. Every opinion is negative in one way or the other. I have NEVER heard anyone say "They are OK in my book." or "I have nothing against them."
I completely agree with your advice to regional hopefuls. Research each company and know the facts. I can assure you that if you do, you will not even consider working for GoJet.
