For me, with previous 121 experience, that was to be $10,000. A few weeks later, Trans States Holdings (that owns GoJet) started giving Trans States a bonus - an unapologetic slap in our face. Now, GoJet is giving a new hire bonus again.
They will demand total honesty all the while lying to your face without blinking and expect you to just take it.
And this is only the beginning of the story...there is way more to tell about this little smear of the afterbirth of aviation that GoJet happens to be.
The owner of Gojet and TSA has his own way of looking at all of us that is not the way you and I think. I would equate it to a rich privileged guy from a wealthy country visiting a very poor country, in a room full of prostitutes. He begins to view himself as a god and the lives of the prostitutes and the other poor people as having very little value. They only get what he decides to give them and he likes to see them beg and jump around for the dollar he waives about.
To say no to him will offend him and he will use his power to have you cast into the streets. He calculated that the 10 or 20 people coming to this class have just quit their jobs, moved out of their home or apartment. They have nowhere else to go at this moment in time. Take the money now and most will still come, even if they think they will then only stay a few weeks.. He knows many will not leave because pilots are very responsible people who don't like to disappoint those around them, even their abusers. So, with his simple announcement he breaks his promise and steals 10k form each of the 10 to 20 people. He nets himself 100 to 200k. He shows himself that in relation to you, he is a god. He has total contempt for each of his employees and resents every dollar he has to pay them.
