Back in 2004 when I graduated from college many people in the forums, at my flight school, and on youtube videos were saying negative things about GoJet pilots. I have no ill feelings towards them as I know nothing about the pilot group at GoJet that would give them a negative image. But since I have previously heard negative things about working for GoJet I am curious if it would look bad on the resume working there. All I know is that GoJet First Officers are some of the lowest paid jet FO's in the industry, but aside from that I don't know why working there would look bad within the industry. Has the perception of GoJet pilots changed over the years or do I have a misconception that working for GoJet is bad?

I am considering GoJet for their Captain Qualified First Officer program. Are CQFO's viewed differently and are they disliked within the company? I have just over 4000 total time and 1000 PIC multi engine turboprop flight time, but I have no jet time and no experience flying pax. I'd consider the CQFO option at GoJet for a quick upgrade in the CRJ700.

Any thoughts?

Oh god why?

 

Personally, I wouldn't chase a quick upgrade at any airline. It could come to a stop tomorrow. You said it yourself. FO's are some of the worse paid, and do you want to be stuck in the right set of that airline?

 

I know 9E FOs who are applying for direct entry Captain. Given Bloch's screwjob, it's not surprising.

 

1. GoJets didn't start flying passengers until late 2005.

2. GoJets is no longer hiring "CQFO'S".

Other than that, .... Well. You get the idea.
