Anyone know how flying would be at GoJet? Just trying to get back in the game after being furloughed from a good fractional job. I am not looking for facts about how low the pay is at regionals--just some basic facts about getting back to work. I understand they have good equipment and faster than average upgrade times.
Thanks.

 

If you use the "search" function, then you can see for yourself how poorly everyone thinks of it. Good Luck.

 

When I use the search function on any company--I see how poorly everone thinks of it. Just looking for someone that might have up to date information. Most of the forums on this site are depressing at best. I am a realistic person that wants to work in aviation and understands that there are good and bad. I have spent a few years outside the industry working in the financial field and know first hand that the grass is not always greener once you get there.

 

Check out Compass, good equipment, quick upgrade with the flow through and all without the drama that has and always will surround GoJet.

 

Hey Michelle,

I will try to give you an unbiased opinion. I donīt work for GoJet but I do have furloughed friends that went there. I speak to them often about it since I am also furloughed and have an open invite from HR to interview there. GoJet is a good company. Management is squared away and treats the pilots well by regional standards. The equipment is basically new and well maintained. There is about to be a bunch of movement there because they are still growing and many of there current pilots are United furloughees that will be returning to United soon. Still many more of their pilots are furloughees from other places and anyone furloughed from an ALPA carrier did not have to resign from those positions because GOJet isnīt an ALPA carrier. So that is the good. The bad can not be understated though. While the bad reputation isnīt what it was when they first started up they are still talked about badly in the industry. My friends tell me they have never had anyone say anything to them directly. They also say they have never had an issue on a jumpseat. But I have heard that on a rare occasion there may be issues with other pilots when requesting a jump. BUT GoJet peoples are still talked about amongst pilots from other airlines. Mainly Union guys and TSA guys who are still bitter. I have not gone there because the meer fact that you have to ask what about GoJet tells me that people still have that negative conotation in their heads and I donīt want to be associated with it. The industry is openig back up. Recalls are happening. Airlines are hiring. There are and will continue to be better places to go if you have some patience.

 

 

In before the lock!

 

I talk crap about them and I'm neither. I do have ex-waterski friends who were royally screwed by them though. I'm not the only one, guarantee it.

Good advice.

 

I'm not sure it's a valid statement that you can use the search function and find generally negative opinions about any airline. Go search expressjet or ASA, probably won't find generally negative opinions and expressjet is hiring. I'm neither a union man nor a current or ex waterskier and I have NO respect for Gojetters.

 

Michelle,

Do you know the history behind gojet? If not, I would suggest reading some previous posts on here about why GJ was formed, what it accomplished for TSA mgmt, and how it completely screwed the TSA pilots. It will help you understand why so many people on here are negative about the airline.

Cheers!
