Reserve Captains at GoJet can be used to fly in the right seat. So as every FO senior to you upgrades, you keep spending more time logging sic. At least at Skywest, when ever you do actually fly, it’s PiC

I find this hard to believe is a real question.

1. You will be treated much better at Skywest and won't find yourself terminated when you need a medical leave.
2. The pay systems are completely different with much more soft time at Skywest. If you fly 800 hours at both your pay at Skywest will be about 30% higher if everything else is equal. Take a look at your last 2020 paystub and look for all the little incentive bonuses, you won't see that at the other airline.
3. One good thing at GJ is that it is smaller and you will actually get to know some of the people and see them more than once every 2 years. On the other hand you will feel bad when you see how Gojet creates them and terminates them.
4. Even though SW does not have a union you have better protection then the GJ teamsters provides.
5. SW will be in business in 2 years.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

We might be at one of those inflection points in aviation history.

(But certainly not for the idiot who asked this question, a captain at Skywest!)

GoJet just lost another appeal in federal court and is about to have to write out a check for about a million dollars to one of its employees and his attorneys. Hopefully, this will be an incentive to them to follow the laws in the future.

Also, if they want to get competent pilots without having to pay a 56k hiring bonus, they better make treating employees respectfully had better become its CORE VALUE.

If GoJet can pay the million dollars and survives it may have a future.

If it goes from its 32 or 36 planes to 72, it will be doubling in size. If a pilot is hired today then he will easily be in the top 50% by the time #72 comes. It will probably be 1 or 2 years quicker than going to Skywest.

Next, Gojet is without a contract. The pilots would have to be crazy to let the company grow quickly without getting a contract first. They have power NOW but will lose all that power when the airplanes stop coming. If they accept anything else besides a contract that puts them #1 in pay, including all the bonuses that Skywest and the others get, then they are blowing an easy negotiation,. Eliminate the need to pay 56k in bonus to new pilots and pay all the pilots.

So being number one in pay and growth would be the place to go if base location does not matter..

GoJet management will screw you every chance they get. Not saying other regionals won't, but GoJet will do everything they can to screw you. Not only that, it is extremely unprofessional and ran as if they gave the keys to an airline to a Frat house as an experiment. Stay at OO.

See what Uncle Hulas did to Trans States and Compass. I would stay far far away from any airline associated with the man,the myth,the legend known as Hulas Kanioda
