I couldn't help but notice the negativity towards GoJet and that took me back a while.
Not too long ago, Colgan was the lowest of the lowest. You were looked at funny if you applied or even ended up there. Reason, it was bringing standards down. Then came our brothers and sisters at Mesa. I even came across guys that swore never to even lay eyes on a Mesa airplane.
Well after Colgan and Mesa were the two regionals still hiring even in bad times, the attacks seemed to simmer down.
And now all of a sudden, all the HEAT is on GoJet. The venom being spewed by our fellow aviators is more potent than a king cobras'. Now I can tell you all one thing; six months down the road after GoJet has been accepted to the family of regionals will come another one. And they too will take the heat...........who's next?

PS: I am not taking sides but merely spectating!
I sure hope there's another thread that you're referring to.... since the only one recently that I know of is a SW 37 guy asking. That's not "some kid" IMHO, and I'll bet he personally doesn't want to leave SW for GJ....
