Hey Michelle,

I will try to give you an unbiased opinion. I donīt work for GoJet but I do have furloughed friends that went there. I speak to them often about it since I am also furloughed and have an open invite from HR to interview there. GoJet is a good company. Management is squared away and treats the pilots well by regional standards. The equipment is basically new and well maintained. There is about to be a bunch of movement there because they are still growing and many of there current pilots are United furloughees that will be returning to United soon. Still many more of their pilots are furloughees from other places and anyone furloughed from an ALPA carrier did not have to resign from those positions because GOJet isnīt an ALPA carrier. So that is the good. The bad can not be understated though. While the bad reputation isnīt what it was when they first started up they are still talked about badly in the industry. My friends tell me they have never had anyone say anything to them directly. They also say they have never had an issue on a jumpseat. But I have heard that on a rare occasion there may be issues with other pilots when requesting a jump. BUT GoJet peoples are still talked about amongst pilots from other airlines. Mainly Union guys and TSA guys who are still bitter. I have not gone there because the meer fact that you have to ask what about GoJet tells me that people still have that negative conotation in their heads and I donīt want to be associated with it. The industry is openig back up. Recalls are happening. Airlines are hiring. There are and will continue to be better places to go if you have some patience.
