Upgrades are being advertised as just as short if not shorter at many other regionals with far better contracts. And the bases are not a factor for commuting because they're shared with other regionals with better contracts. I sincerely do hope that G7 gets a great contract that vastly improves life there. But I will not hold my breath.

 

I have been at G7 a long time and can tell you that there is no other airline in the US like it. G7's ability to watch a penny is really a true science, an art. They are cutthroat and do not mind breaking a law or 2 to save a penny. If a FA comes out in support of a union she will be hassled, written up, made upset and paranoid. Then she will be given a check ride, fail and be fired. They will build a case against her before doing anything and they do it very quickly. If she gets cancer, same procedure. She can sue and in the end they might settle by giving her 20 to 35k to go away. They might be saving 500k in medical bills not having to pay for the cancer treatments. Its a smart business move. The other FAs don't support a union and they save a fortune there. They do similar things to the pilots. I understand there is one check airman and if he is there to give you a check ride your days are probably numbered. Maybe his reputation alone makes the guys nervous to where they fail? The pay is low and is not going to get better. But, if you stay in hiding successfully and not get a target on your back you won't have to worry about the airline going under because they are the lowest cost carrier and that is not going to change. And you won't have to fly with many overweight people, it takes money to eat so we have what we call the "Gojet Diet", no money for food. They are good about getting us hotels with free breakfast. Aside from them failing you on a check ride to get rid of you, the worst thing there are the cold destinations. Other than an occasional Jacksonville, FL and a San Antonio there is nowhere warm, which makes for a long winter!

 

Sounds like a great place to work.

 

Haha! 24 month upgrade? I don't care if they remove any minimum hour requirements! It's about 3 years! And then what? You are a jr captain at an airline that doesn't even pretend to care about you? I've seen fo's that we're about to upgrade leave for the other place (and these were former comair captains), I've seen captains leave to start over from the bottom at the other place. .and I'm done with g7.. biggest regret other than leaving here earlier, is coming here to begin with!

 

Can someone pm me the contact info to have myself removed from the union web board. I quit a few months ago and figured it would be automatic. Guess not.

 

Where did you go..??

 

Yet people still go there. Go figure.

 

Can anyone tell me what tyoe of flight benefits you get at gojet? My sister just got a flight attendant job, and we are curious. Might add me as a companion. Thanks in advanced.

 

PSA. So far so good.
