I haven't been here long enough to get a good feeling on the company, but I can tell it is run cheap just like most regionals. It's just the way the model works, not necessarily a shot a GoJet. They have their issues and are excited about the 550, but so far, it's just another regional. Everyone has been nice and professional and helped me out when I had a problem.
You probably won't see any E175s or anything. If there is more growth coming, I'd be surprised. I guess it's not entirely possible United won't want more 550's, but there's no way to know that or even if they would come here. We do have a lot of movement however with people going to the majors.
There’s GoJet cheap, or any TSH airline cheap, and the other regionals cheap. Just one look at their headquarters in Saint Louis, or even the fact they’re in Saint Louis clearly shows their mindset on cheap. Aside from first impressions, ask around about their maintenance program. And then compare it to others. You’ll get a clearer picture.
