This will be a 30% pay increase for the GoJet pilots if it happens.

The rumor continued that Hulas wants more money and says if Skywest just makes newhires out of the pilots and no longeviety it is a better deal for SW and makes the deal more valuable, justifying the higher price. In addition to the GoJet planes, supposedly 50 "new" CRJs going to Skywest and 25 550 to Air Wisconsin.

I can't attest to the accuracy of the rumor but I did shell out $3.13 for a Starbuck's coffee on the corner of Wells and Madison for the information. He offered to show me actual paperwork but that would have cost me a coffee and 2 donuts over at the Dunkin Donuts at 110 W. Madison.

If it all gets signed then it will be a great deal for the GJ pilots. GJ is the best bet out there currently.

Skywest also probably just wants the pilots for staffing. They have no need to purchase any other part of GoJet. Let Hulas run his third airline into the ground on its own and walk away with nothing from all three. He’s not in any position to negotiate. UA loves Skywest and they’ll be happy to let them take over organically during GoJets fall 2021 demise. Hulas did the same thing with the other two airlines. Declare bankruptcy and liquidate any remaining assets and call it a loss. He won’t have to worry about taxes for the next half decade.

I'm just about to get all of my ratings and am looking into a few places to start my career up. I've heard that GoJet has direct entry captains and was wondering if y'all recommend it. Thanks!

Well yes GoJet has direct entry captains. But that is qualified direct entry captains. Prior 121 or similar required. You would need to reach out to the recruiters to get precise information.

Gojet does have that specific program and it’s industry leading. They just came to my college and my buddy told me how it worked. Apparently if you have some time at another airline you can get paid more here. Which is nice because if you had say 10 years at another airline you’d be able to hit the 20 year pay mark in only 10. Plus industry leading in every other aspect.

You can rent a 172 and as long as you have passengers in the backseat and are filed IFR they will count that as simulated part 121. People have done that and it worked for them.

Look at the source and take it all with a grain of salt .
Im sure your guy at the Fisdo got a good laugh at your simulated 121 in a Cessna with pax on board question .He is probably still laughing.
There is no such thing as logging simulated 121 just FYI .
Take that logbook to an interview with that in it and they will rollover laughing as they escort you to the door .

How many have they lost during the last month?

Yes, and well after they’re ditched GoJet, Air Wisc, CommutAir, Mesa, and then Republic.

I don't disagree, but that's a function of scale rather than "love" for Skywest.

Skywest is a reliable and stable known quantity. They also own all their own airplanes. UA loves them in sense of business purposes. The proof is in the pudding with the UAX fleet allocations and contracts.

Bull****. UA, Delta, American, and Alaska all love Skywest which is why SW has 500 planes. They are ultra efficient, They have everything planned. They don't even wait for tires to wear out, they replace them when the computer tells them it is time to replace so they will be ready and service won't be interrupted.

They pay their pilots well and incentivize so the pilots won't want a union. No airline has to worry if SW will come through.

Nut entirely true. Skywest operates several Delta owned airplanes. Maybe you’re referring to the United planes?

Originally Posted by itsmytime (Post 3267324)

truth. I used to be anti Skywest, but they have made a believer out of me in recent years. Republic guys claim that Republic is like a major. Skywest is the only regional with “major” status. If there is only one regional left, it will be Skywest.
