Pros of AWAC: they own their planes, $5k bonus, better training. Pros of GoJet: growing, newer and bigger airplanes, EWR base. My biggest concerns with AWAC: future of the 200, commuting. Biggest concerns of GoJet: quality of training, their aircraft are all leased. Given my situation, which would you pick and why?
It’s tough, but congrats on having the invites. I’d go with AW personally, only because I’d be shocked if GoJet was around in a few years. I think it’s 50/50 with them at best. AW on the other hand always finds a way to push through, but obviously there future isn’t solidified yet. Either way, wish you the best, hopefully we start hiring at SkyWest shortly and you get an invite!
