hey genious.....also some of those guys live in base making 130K a year with 15 days off and home every night and don't feel like "moving up" to a major and being furlough fodder and take a pay cut for the next 10 years and sit reserve for who knows how long. Not everyone has to stroke their ego with a mainline job. I'll put one of "those senior regional CA's" against your FO butt any day and watch him fly circles around you.

soooo you must also think KLM, Lufthansa pilots etc are entry-level jobs too since most of them got hired right after college through an ab-initio program before they even had a wet commercial and therefore those airlines should be paid less that your almighty US mainline pilots?

Wow. I am impressed this has not been locked yet. Does anyone have any info on the original thought of this thread? Please post if so, otherwise we'll continue the 8th grade lunchroom drama.

That's Tammy, Trey's ex-girlfriend. This is classic Tammy. Trey broke up with Tammy because Maureen Kanallen said that she saw Tammy flirting with Walt Timny at a party, but she was only doing it to make Trey jealous because you know, she thought that Trey secretly liked Erin Henebry, but he doesn't like Erin Henebry, it was all a bunch of bull

My 2 cents.. take it if you want...

Everyone has personal reasons for going to various airlines. Just respect that.
I would personally never go to work for Delta or United (both completely screwed their pilots in one way or another).. but some of you on here would jump on that. I'm not going to tell you how those airlines are bad in my opinion.. so if someone wants to go to work at GoJet, or any other carrier... just shut up about it.
This guy asked for information about that company in a positive and respectful way. If you can't answer that question like a professional... go somewhere else with your rant. If you are fortunate enough to work for a better company, count your blessings. Some people don't have a job and can't put food on the table.
I got out of 121 flying and have no desire to go back to that rat race.. but I'll never tell you how wrong you are for being in it.. It's your choice.. Respect someone else's choice and just try to help if you can.. That's what this site is for.

Could someone currently working for GoJet chime in and answer a question for me? Im confused about the upgrade time requirement. Does the 1 for 1 company match up to 1,000 mean you can upgrade after 1,000 hours with the company or deduct 1,000 from 4,500 and upgrade with 3,500 total? Thanks.

Excellent post! Another point to consider: you could be applying everywhere like Airline A, Airline B, Airline C, etc. But then you only get one interview call from say Airline C, although you really want to work for Airline A. You certainly don't turn it down, because that call from Airline A may never come. You gotta take that interview with Airline C and get the job, because especially in today's economy, you take what you can get.
