Latest information is STL, ORD and DEN with DEN being very senior. RDU will be closing, probably in the next 6 months, if not sooner. DTW will be closing by May. GSO and EWR will be opening in the next few months, replacing DTW and RDU. with the changes, it will be hard to say what the most junior base will be, but I'm guessing EWR, followed by ORD.

The airline hasn't awarded a pilot the DEN base since earlier this year.

The number of DEN based pilots is shrinking.

There is no flying scheduled out of DEN after December.

If you come to Gojet for the DEN base you're taking a gamble.

Agreed. If someone wants the DEN base, then choose either Trans State (all of their new hires are based there, so very junior), or pick another airline with a DEN base.

When did GJ have its last new hire class?

I can't find any CRJ-550 flights scheduled to operate even in May of 2020.

Any word on certification?

It sounds like a big risk to go to Gojet before certification.

Where would GJ be getting DECs these days. It does not seem too smart to me to leave one 121 carrier to go to GJ, unless you really want that self serve drink area.

Are a lot of the guys helo?

DECs from other Regionals - I talked with a couple and there are a couple of reasons - longer training footprint by going to a new regional. Several weeks rather than just a few days. Add in the large bonus they will get rather than just a pay raise with their present airline.

None of the DECs in the 09/03 class are coming from another 121 carrier.
