Not going to wait 7+ months for RPA (I'm sure it'll be more)...heard from friends who are FO's still on reserve there that they haven't flown in more than 3 weeks and are only logging 10-15 hours a month. Not sure if it'll be better at GoJet, but at least I'll be able to start building 121 time instead of constantly waiting.

The recruiter at GoJet told me indoc will be in STL and sims/systems will be with CAE in Phoenix

All bar 1 of us dequaled in the months post OE. Some didn’t even consolidate in time and went back to the rear of the OE queue. None of us did over 150 hours (including OE) in the year of 2022.
Aside from being promised 900 hours by my recruiter, I really have no axe to grind with the company, (thanks for the ATP, Type and travel benefits). I didn’t stick around though and neither did anyone from my class.

Set your expectations: you’ll be on reserve and you won’t be flying much. The same is true being junior anywhere.
Like someone else said, there are people who come on here just to rip companies apart, and apparently anyone who’s not doing that is an ‘unofficial recruiter’. My experience: commuting to reserve sucked, Covid sucked, when schedules were weird after Covid for a bit it was rough, but since then I’ve really enjoyed it. Even with Covid and everything, I still got my time to upgrade in a little over 2 years.
