With 66 seats Gojet had 2 FAs per plane but with 50 seats there will be one per plane. Gojet will be getting rid of half of their flight attendants.

It will be a work of evil art how efficient they will be in terminating FAs and them not being eligible for unemployment. Very similar to the German gas chamber.

So now that an announcement has been made to restructure for scope purposes, is the assumption still that United and Delta flying might be dropped? And put GoJet out of business? Is a DEC or Near Captain Candidate better off going to XJT or CommutAir? The bonus structure at GOJet is enticing, if there’s no lengthy contract. Looks like a decent commuter program.
Also, how many at GoJet have utilized or been able to utilize the preferential agreements with Spirit and Atlas?
