No. None are up in 2014. Nice wishful thinking though.

We have had several lower time folks. Really, we have had a wide variety of people coming here. They range from ATP-mins up to 10K+ hours.

That said, they are very firm, that you must have the ATP mins. I have a good friend who is just shy on the ATP time (like you are) and they have said repeatedly, that its ATP mins or no luck. I hope this helps.

BTW, have an interview in a couple of weeks. On balance, it sure looks like a great opportunity to break in to 121 without going on food stamps...guess we'll see. I can say that I've spoken with three current pilots and they range from "happyish" to "thrilled". Take that for what it's worth.

~7k total time, ~4k TPIC, 800 or so jet PIC, all 135. I would most likely live in base if I'm hired. Wish me luck, I'll report back with the latest and greatest.

PS. Any info, thoughts, etc very welcome indeed from current GJ pilots, PM or otherwise.

Good luck on your interview. Please fill us in as to what the rumors are from the interviewers.

I think I speak for many of the G7 pilots, when I say we are happy to be employed. After Comair went under, the management at G7 was nice enough to give us all jobs, and I'm thankful for that.

Let us know if you have any questions, and good luck.

You do know that other airlines were hiring Comair guys right? IMHO, G7 MGMNT sucks and the pilots who show up in droves justify the suck. Hulas have no reason to make it better.


And they had to give you all jobs because they couldn't fill the seats with the new flying they undercut y'all for...

To be fair, Comair guys were tossed to the curb through no fault of thier own. You can't blame them for taking refuge at Gojets until Delta starts hiring again. In the mean time, mortgages need to paid, and mouths need to be fed. Any port in a storm.

Anyone with a level head and a family to support would do the same thing.

I agree, but other airlines were hiring. G7 wasn't the only show in town...

You take what u can . Don't judge them .without knowing them .
