The only people who wouldn't are people who work at gojetzzzz....

Coming from a kid that has been in the been in the right seat 3 years and has no clue about the industry. Here's a hint.... All regionals suck A$$. The pilot who lives in base and gets out of there first wins. In the end, nobody cares. Well, except RJ Fo's who are wet behind the ears and still believe that they need to hold up a non existent bar.

Where's the *Like* button...

In the end I want to get out as soon as possible, just like every other pilot. I'm just not willing to lower the bar any further than it already is. All regionals suck, but some suck much less than others.

Ding ding ding! :)

Truest words ever spoken.

Ignore the people trying to justify the poor choice they've already made and are too far in to turn back from. You seem to know what's up.

Going to Gojet was a great choice for me. It's worked out well.

Sweet Jesus you guys are obtuse. NO ONE CARES, don't you get it? You think AA, USAIR, JB, SWA etc is going to give a rats a$$ about what crappy regional you came from? For God's sake people DO NOT CARE. If you are a good pilot, not a jerk (so as to brag about the awesome regional you came from and therefore look like a complete freaking tool), have your stuff together enough to do your job professionally and haven't failed every checkride you've ever taken, you'll probably get the job.

I came from the tough non "scab" regional (Eagle) and passed everything the first time around with 300 hours total time *golf clap*. Guess what that means to my current employer? ZERO. On all the interviews that I've done guess how many times someone has said "Oooooooooh you came from EAGLE? Wow!!!.... please tell me more!!" ZERO. All they want to know about is my decision making ability, my jet time and sometimes my education, GPA and all that business. I've never had someone grab a hanky and call all their friends over because I came from AE.

I work hard, know the jet that I'm on inside and out, and I'm professional without having a stick up my backside. I fly well, I treat others with respect and all that happy stuff. THAT is why I was hired on top of my jet experience.

Anyways, rant over but please -- get a clue.

I generally stay of these Blowjet discussions but because they are a total waste of time, but.......

I guarantee you'd have a different attitude about PSA if you were still at Eagle (or Envoy). I'm sure you just wouldn't say "oh well" over another pilot group cutting your legs out from under you but whatever. I'm sure it would be all puppies and rainbows and you'd give the PSA guys a big hug every chance you get. Get over yourself and quit patting yourself on the back. NOBODY CARES (to quote you).

What a tool. Nomination for tool of the day......

As for nobody caring, I get asked all the time on DL, UA, and US/AA if I work for Blowjets when I tell them I work for TSA. The response usually is thank god your not one of THOSE guys (meaning Gojet). Same thing for Mesa, Envoy, ExpressJet, Endeavor, PSA, and Air Whisky. I have actually been surprised by how often this comes up, particularly when I jump seat on mainline. They're too nice to tell you to your face what they really think about Go Jet, and trust me if they can find any little thing to deny you a jump seat they will. They'll tell you its because the don't have enough O2, weight balance or whatever.

Do the Human resource weenies at the big jobs care about this? No they do not. But if you believe your peers in the profession have any respect for Gojet then you are delusional.

Now I will go back to ignoring Gojet. Makes life at TSA happier.

Whatever :cool: who cares ! Anyone flying a RJ already lowered the bar for mainline

Lmao! You TSA cheerleaders are just trying too hard.

Quit hating man, everybody knows at this point that nobody in the majors gives a @$&! about which sh!tty regional you came from. Y'all need to find new scare tactics or something.

"My regional is better than yours" mentality is just juvenile. Look back at this thread, just a bunch of pilots hating on each other's airline like schoolgirls.

Behave like a child, be treated like a child.

At this point, which regionals are people allowed to work for without being blacklisted? The list keeps growing, not everyone can work for the handful of carriers that you deem acceptable. This argument is played out and ridiculous, no one cares which regional you work for.

Wherever you can be based closest to home is the one you should work for.

At the end of the day, you realize that 95% of pilots are self entitled arrogant people. The only regret I have in my career is not joining GoJet 8 years ago and being based in Chicago rather than St Louis and not having to commute for 6 years. I could have also upgraded one year after joining and stayed a captain for 5 years of my career rather than being downgraded.

At the end of the day, nobody gives a rat's a$$ who you undercut/undermine/lower the bar to. ALPA has proven that point by telling TSA pilots that they would fight to get the CRJ-700's back on TSA property, then turn around and tell United furloughs to go to GoJet.

I went to TSA to try to not belittle and undermine ALPA pilots and over 5 years I lost QOL, 3000 hours of PIC in a CRJ-700 instead of an EMB145 (I couldn't get an interview with Emirates because the 145 wasn't big enough of a jet for their minimums but the 700 was) and somewhere in the ball park of $120,000+ pay (with the conservative assumption of making $40/hr more as a Captain at GoJet instead of an FO at TSA).


But hey, I get to tell a bunch of neckbeards on internet forums that I wasn't a part of GoJet. That has to count for something, right? Especially when my current airline amongst many other Legacy/LCC/ULCC airlines have hired GoJet pilots, and you look like an idiot for holding a gripe with RJ drama.

Checking in:
What's the junior base right now ?
What's senior ?
Which base has the longest time to hold a line ?
How much flying on reserve ?
How much time at the crashpad since 117 came to town ?

Probably get ORD off of IOE.

STL will be the hardest to hold. Base is shrinking at a rapid rate.

Probably ORD for now. Soon to be STL.

65-70 hours. I am in STL. Not sure if the other bases are flying that much. Could be more.

Last few months have seen very little time at the pad for me.

Thx 8hr.
Start class Monday.

Any other base / growth rumors?

Cyborg.... Let us know how many people are in class Monday. Also, congrats!!!

GoJet updates
 

Welcome. Let me know if I can help with anything.

....and 8 hour,
Thank you both, and will do !

10 in class
Sounded like 12 were gonna show

14 in the last class.....

March class delayed until April.

Is it because they have enough staffing or is it because they don't have enough people for a full class??

You guys know how many guys are showing up and pas rate has been the past few months? You pretty well staffed?

Not sure but I think hiring is stopping for awhile. The next class after April starts back up in August. :confused:

To keep flying levels where they are, we will need to continue hiring.

seems like they did let a lot go during training for not disclosing failures and such

ORD has had a few captain captain flights due to lack of FO's :cool:

So how are they delaying classes so much if you guys seem to be short staffed. We're well short on the fo side. Are you having trouble filling the classes? I think we are but are still trying to get a class going every month.

GoJet updates
 

I really, really hope we did not stop hiring again.

Nobody wants to work there. You'll be on RSV for a long time yet, no quick upgrade for you

everyone else hopes they stop

All the "good" regionals, right?

Why do you keep sticking up for your regional airline? With all the regionals hiring right now and some struggling to fill classes, why in the world would anyone chose the one with no cancelation credit, no min day credit, no trip / duty rig, lower pay, and a terrible reputation?

Its like renting a car and being able to pick any car in the isle, then choosing the Daewoo. You only do that if its the only car left!

It's really, really, not fair to compare Daewoo to gojets... I mean, those cars can't possibly be THAT bad...

How about a used Daewoo with a salvage title, 200,000 miles, and the caption, "the air works fine, just needs gassing up!" ;)

I'm still an outsider looking in so I have no dog in the fight, but in my opinion ALL regionals are the tiny p.o.s. cars that the dealer shows you when they run your credit and find out you can't afford anything else. There might be a few cars better than the others...but they're still a piece of junk. Unfortunately my "credit" is low and ill probably have to start with one of those cars.

GoJet is not a good place to work. I thought it couldn't be that bad but I was wrong. They have a lot of good people but they also have others. The culture is something else. The union is not strong run by management. If you need to get current and no else is calling Gojet can help. I strongly recommend going to other airlines. Hulas and Transtates Holdings have a unique management style. Just my personal experience some pilots really like the company.
