the other day I was on my home from an interview and talking to my friend on the phone about it and a gojet recruiter that was jumpseating approached me later. Asking me if I wanted to be an airline pilot and handed me his card. It was quite hard to not laugh in his face. I would rather continue as an instructor than go to BlowJet!
Good luck on your job search.

Off the Mesa topic, back to gojets....
I did in fact hunt down some gojet pilots today and it was quite a fun break in my 8 hours of sitting around the airport doing nothing. At first I thought I wasn't going to be able to find any because I didn't want to stare at ID badges for too long. But after awhile of wandering around and getting bored I realized I didn't care so I just stared. I saw 5 gj pilots total. It's amazing how well they blend in. And after pilot watching for an afternoon I have a few observations:
1. Pilots look tired a lot. Like about half of all the pilots I saw today looked like they were two seconds from sleeping.
2. American Eagle seems to have more girls than the other regionals.
3. And finally I'm sorry if you were in ORD today and wondered why the blond pilot was staring at your uniform so hard. Or if you thought I was checking you out. I was just trying to see if you worked for gojets.
Oh, and I didn't see any with their badges in their pockets.

No worries...If I were still a CFI looking to break into the 121 world, what I'd be doing right now is finding myself the very best contract-instructing I could get my hands on, while living cheaply and pounding down student-loan debt and saving as much as possible.
Those CFI's today, while not having the luxury of a quick "upgrade" into an RJ, have something that most of us never did instead - an excellent short-term market that allows your CFI skills to pay big bucks. Use it to your advantage!

I wish I had been in ORD that day and known about this little adventure. I would have just turned my ID around and tried to explain to the captain why there was a blond FO stalking us through the food court and hiding behind a trashcan while we ate lunch.
Oh, and GJ can suck it.
