GoJet Interview HELP!
 

I have a upcoming gojet interview and need some help on what to study for. AKA a updated Gouge if possible. Thanks.
Pete

good luck, you'll be alright

Hey Pete...Just checked aviationinterviews.com and didn't see alot. I did see a post on here not long ago that there was very little technical stuff at the interview, but I certainly wouldn't gamble on a job with that. I've noticed that alot of the Regional gouges are similar so you might just try reading a bunch of them for various airlines. Going through the ATP study guide is always a good idea too. BTW...how long did it take them to call you for the interview? ...I have an application in there as well. Good Luck!

The go jet interview is pretty laid back. Might have some jeep tech questions. Some of us did some of us did not. They just want to make sure that your going to fit in with the company. Good luck.

I looked at the app for Go Jet on line. Pretty funny! Scroll down to where it says "For Office Use Only". They have a block to check that says "YGBSM"!

That's hilarious.

I think these are the type of people I'd love to fly with!

Just practice your TMAAT questions and scenarios in regards to being a backstabber, sleaz, cheat or clueless and youll be just peachy keen! Break a leg kid.

They ask you technical questions about Jeeps? And for the love of Christmas, please take a high school English course!

I feel like as GoJet ramps up hiring here these threads are going to be more and more common. I've been finding that a surprising amount of people, even within the industry, don't seem to understand how or why GoJet formed and the associated stigma. I don't think most of these people are trying to start a thread that will get inevitably closed, I think they just don't know any better. I was having a conversation with a few people in my crashpad earlier this week regarding my decision to jump from Colgan to SkyWest, when a guy overheard me and said, as if it was the most obvious thing ever, "Hey, you're from St. Louis, why don't you go work at GoJet?"

Yeah, okay pal.

Sorry I didn't believe you: (cut and paste from comp. website)

I'm sure there's some alternative meaning, but that would be beyond awesome if it actually meant what we use it for.

You know every airline HR department wishes they had a YGBSM box.

Should I know what YGBSM means, because I don't.

You've got to be s...ing me.

The pilots are really not to blame for the companies business decisions. I'll never deny a Jump seat because that person hates my company....I'm going to do what i can to help them out.

Wait until it happens to you, and I bet you'll be singing a different tune.

Thank you, I have done learnt something today.

Mods, instead of closing the thread for its inevitably creeping off topic into a juvenile flame fest, try something new. How about deleting all of the posts that have nothing to do with the original post? The guy asked about an interview, that's what the thread should be about.

If someone wants to have their own personal crusade against Go Jet, they can start their own thread.

Easy interview overall. I interviewed 2/10, and it was a joke. The CP, and a line pilot just went over my resume. Very few technical questions. I got the offer the next day, so I guess they were short. The place has a fast upgrade if you have the time, but there CBA sucks! Also last year they made you pay for housing during training. Might want to try Eagle or SkyWest instead.

That thread gets locked.

However, you're right. Instead of trying to offer career advice on why GoJet is a terrible place, we'll just let all these new guys go there. THEN we'll bash them for choosing to go there when people deny them the jumpseat and their resumes get turned down at the majors.

I'm fully aware that these guys are getting hired on at majors right now, but so are TransStates guys, and other regional people. And those pilots know exactly who GoJet is. What goes around, comes around....

There has been enough threads on GJ that people know what opinions are out there. And there are other "terrible places" to go too. Most folks know the history of GJ, yet not all agree that they are the single scourge of the regional industry that many here would have you believe.

As for getting turned down at majors or for a jumpseat, I don't see it happening. The same things were said about Comair and Continental Express pilots that paid for their training in the mid 90's and PFT was far more insidious to the profession than Go Jet.

I don't have the warm and fuzzies about Go Jet's beginnings either and I agree that the initial hires that knowingly circumvented the TSA seniority list had questionable ethics. However, today's GJ new-hires are not negatively affecting the industry any more than new-hires at other regionals.

Someone that has made their decision to shoot for Go Jet should be able to get the information they seek without harassment from people on a personal crusade to "inform" according to their opinions.

Even if it doesn't hurt your career to go work there, it might.
Even though its a quick upgrade now, it might not be in the future

Use the information you have and make your own decision about where YOU want to work. Just be willing to live with the consequences if things don't work out for you. A career at GoJet is probably not why you will start working there, but it is always a possibility in this industry

Interview is pretty much a personality interview. Quick 25 min interview about yourself. No written, no sim ride. I had no technical questions. There's going to be quick upgrades there if you have enough turbine and total time. Their Delta flying will start January or February of next year.A regional is going to be a regional no matter where you decide to go. Good luck on your interview. There's always going to be negativity anywhere you go.

Mod Note:

I really ought to have my head examined by a professional, but I am going to let this thread go a bit longer. I will also continue to delete posts that have nothing to do with the original question which was about the interview. Like everyone else around here, I've heard all the stories about why someone should not go to Go Jet. We get it already. There is absolutely no reason to keep yammering on about it, just as there is no reason to bring up the "scab" word. [Nobody has done that yet, but some dumbass will soon I'm sure].

As I said many times previously, users who choose to use "scab" inappropriately will be banned. If after this admonition, people still want to post anything but the interview, you will go on that all expense paid 3 day vacation away from your computer. It'll do you good, trust me.

If you really feel compelled to "help" people who want to join Go Jet by telling them these horror stories about jumpseats and all, I urge you to send them a PM instead. Let me know if you don't know how to send PMs. It's easy. So easy an airline pilot can do it.

Seriously? There's no point in leaving this thread open. Just save yourself and Tony and the rest of the mods the headache and put it to bed. GoJet is too volatile a subject to be discussed rationally, and even when we try to state facts, pro-GoJetters jump in and try to rewrite history.

there was one!
 

Got one helpful response. To bad they are so light on the tech. Strange

Is it really strange ??? It shouldn't be to hard to realize you think twice about seeking GOJET as a employer. I think it is obvious with this thread, and every other GOJET thread in these forums.

The wax on the -700 is s bit much....they should have stuck with just one coat.

It looks like you fly for a regional too? I am sure there are many people that can come up with many reasons to "think twice" about being employed at your regional.

The guy wanted interview gouge........not yours, mine or anyone else's opinion about being employed at GoJet.

Mod I personally want to hear all the flame. How can prospects make an informed decision without hear the true feelings of all pilots. I personly think going to GoJets wouldn't hamper your career however it would be hard to hold your head up high in the terminal. I have a few friends that claim they throw them off if they find out their GoJets. I thinks its juvenile. I think anyone who goes needs to have thick skin to deal with the embarrassment you may get when trying to catch a ride.

Yea, because nobody likes Skywest, ExpressJet, or Comair guys. Bunch of undercutting nobodys :rolleyes:

Mod Note:

Earlier this evening, I said I needed to have my head examined by a professional. Since I am a professional, I just examined myself instead to save on time and money.

Cleaning up after all of your juvenile delinquents is going to take all night and it's going to suck up too much of my life force. So, another thread closed.

stbloc - first of all, flamebait is not tolerated here and they will be deleted when found or brought to our attention. However, I'm sure there are some we missed so you can do a search and read all about them to your heart's delight.

C'mon guys, I have a baby in the house, my favorite show (Criminal Minds) is having its season premiere in 15 minutes, and I refuse to spend valuable time doing these types of sanitation. Cleaning the toilet is more fun!
