All other regionals have training delays as well where as Go jet currently does not to my knowledge. People I know have recommended me to use Go Jet to obtain my atp with no training delay and jump ship

Someone in my class left during indoc for a family emergency. The company said hey no problem come back any time. He was sent a bill for the ATP/CTP, so don’t expect a free ride.
Most of my time is from helicopters and when I came to G7 I only qualified for a restricted ATP. The training was fine if you can find your own answers. Sims were with CAE in PHX and those fellas were top notch. They will go well out of their way to help you. You are not spoon fed anything. You have to figure out what’s important and what isn’t by asking your study groups, friends who are already flying, etc. There’s probably a DEC or two in class and that person is a good friend to make. By the time we were on our final sims I was more than ready. 100% pass rate in my class although 4 people quit early in sims, and that‘s including students who checked with check airmen that had a reputation for failing people over “simple” stuff. IOE was also a fantastic experience.
I do admit if I didn’t have an army background, I probably would have had a much harder time, but don’t let the quality of training deter you IF and only IF you think you can ask around, find gouge and work through it without a lot of academic help from the instructors. There are much better reasons to choose a different airline.
