Get the contract, read the contract. Look for the take-aways. Talk to Envoy, Endeavor, PSA, and Skywest people.
Please don't forget that this little gem was taken straight out of the PSA contract. Almost word for word.
While we're on the subject:
Open time, PSA pays 125% GoJet pays 150%
Junior man, PSA pays 175% GoJet pays 150%
Critical pay, PSA Pays 150% (if they follow the cba) GoJet pays 200% sometimes 300% depending on how critical it is.
Deadhead, PSA pays 50% GoJet pays 75% (changes to 100% in '18)
Direct hire captains at GoJet are actually flying, at PSA they are mostly on airport standby.
Direct hire captains at GoJet are not spending long on reserve, last summer there was zero reserve in STL. If they fly as FOs, they are still being paid as Captains. (Flying as an FO to me, is still better than airport standby)
Now someone with a CL-65 type can attend a few days of indoc, get a seniority number, and then defer class for six months. Meaning they hit the line with over 6 months seniority, almost guaranteeing no reserve. Plus a 5k bonus.
I'm not saying GoJet is all sunshine and roses, no regional or any airline for that matter really is, but I do agree;
"Get the contract, Read the contract"
