Then just enjoy flying, get my check, and get home to Pam and the beach.
If you find that will you turn in my resume for me?

Ever wonder why that is? And why, invariably, every GJ thread turns into a flamefest and DOES get locked?

Search the other threads, and all your answers will be found. Pilots helping pilots...Refreshing!
Relax, dude. I only meant something recent on interview and such. I know how some of the other Pilots from other regionals feel about GoJet. I really do not want to hear about it. These threads keep getting closed for the same reason. Pilots at other regionals do not want anyone working at GoJet. They are a Union carrier, Teamsters. I am a Union Pilot, ALPA, and do not really care which Union represents me. Let's all just try to play nice with one another, okay?

It wasn't a personal attack, 'dude'. Just a simple observation about how these things tend to develop.

@72757drvr

What is your opinion on GoJet's pay rates compared to other regionals that operate CRJ-700s?

It wasn't taken as a personal attack, maybe a slight at the intent of the thread. I could be wrong, I often am.

Well from the info posted on APC, I would consider it competitive. However, I have been for fortunate at periods in my career to earn a lot more, although all too often short lived.

If second to last is your definition of competitive, then yes, they are competitive.

Well, I just checked the pay for CRJ700/900 at ASA, EXJ, and Comair. Almost identical +/- $1.00 per hour in favor of ANY. Does APC post inaccurate pay rates? Most of the ones that I can confirm are dead nuts on. I did notice though that Comair has a great match on the 401k. I also noticed their most junior Captain on the CRJ700/900 was hired in 1991. I feel for those guys, they have been most gracious with the J/S over the years.

Look man, just looking out for your best interest as you were obviously misled by someone out there. If you are burned out after 20 years, I'm highly confident that you will find no such relief moving to the bottom of the list of a regional carrier. Especially one that has a reputation for being "not so good" in terms of pilot QOL etc. Never mind the story of how the airline became to be.

I'm just saying have some respect for yourself. What you were doing must have been pretty rough. You put in a lot of time, just to make no more than 30-40k for the next few years with a super uncertain company business model. I just don't see the logic. But what do I know.

Good luck!
