Stupid question - Pinnacle or GoJet?!
So I've been offered jobs with both GoJet and Pinnacle. The choice is obvious, everything in my head is screaming go to Pinnacle. However, my wife and I have only recently relocated to Chicago, so GoJet still deserves a few moments of consideration. Normally I would go straight for Pinnacle, but living in base, a short reserve and a quicker command are all making me think twice, albeit very briefly. What would you do?

Your career isn't worth the possible trouble you might see from going to gojets. I'm not saying you will have trouble but its not worth the possibility when you've worked really hard and paid a lot to get where you are.

true Gojet is probably gonna have a stigma for the next few years, but something is to be said for living in base.....but these days you never know how long a base will be open till you are displaced or the base closes completely..

Avoid Gojet unless you want to avoid career progression.
Avoid gojet- 1000 points.
Pinnacle will work out well for you, we have alot of chicago commuters to DTW and all of say it's a breeze, plus that's the base with the movement right now.

Pinnacle also has one of the best dispatchers in the business, and she is doing her best to make the rest there in her image. I can't say the same for those at G7.

I cannot believe anyone would want to work for either.
