My paycheck has always been correct and on time. I haven't been asked to fly any broken airplanes or do any kind of shady operation. I've had personal conversations with both our CP and DO and both have been amazing to talk to. Comparing our contract to Mesas contract is hilarious! If anyone wants to, I'll go line for line G7 vs Mesa contract. I support Mesas pilots, and hope they get a better contract, but as of now there is no comparison. Our scheduling dept has let me off early, and let me come in late on reserve to make it commutable multiple times. They've also paid for more than 4 hotels in one month, although they are only contractually obligated to 4/month.

Since Feb 2016, (IOE in May) I flew 226.7 hours in the left seat and 15.1 hours in the right. I also held a line for June and July in STL. I don't have a crash pad, and have had to buy around 6 hotels all year. I average 16 days at home because of our long call reserve setup. I'd be a solid line holder in DTW right now, but it's a bad commute for me. Street captains hired today can hold STL, DTW, RDU immediately and ORD within a month or 2. Last roster had street captains holding ORD of IOE. FOs are holding lines at every base except DEN. I'll clear a little over $72k this year as a first year CA.

For those that say there is no movement, I've moved up 143 spots since Feb. With 560 pilots on the roster, that's pretty good movement in my opinion. We've had multiple people move on to FedEx, Southwest, Delta and United and many more to other LCCs.

Don't believe the trash talking, feel free to pm me or any other G7 pilot. I'm not gonna call it like it's the greatest thing ever. I had serious reservations about coming here, but have been pleasantly surprised about how things have gone so far.
