The company guys are sent there with no authority, their one job is to listen, ask questions, and talk about how much they would like to do what is being asked but it will create lots of problems, they will have to consider it very carefully but will see what they can do on it. Lets get together in about 3 months and discuss it again. Delay, delay delay. Gosh, sounds like republic and is it PSA?

Quick update for those of you planning on leaving. Gojet did not pay me my vacation pay when I quit. I gave two weeks notice and did not call in sick. Just letting you guys know. I was really planning on having that money. Don't want someone to end up in trouble like I was. Feel free to PM me and I will tell you the way they attempted to justify it. Doing the same thing to my friend right now.

If he wants a paying job he should go deep fry pieces of chicken. After a while he can build his time and eventually deep fry Turkeys! Republic has a $20,000 training contract that this airline doesn't have, and 8HourRule is complaining about loosing $2000 in vacation pay! He should be bragging to everyone that he came out $18,000 ahead! This airline could have treated you halfway decently and you might have become happy and content and lost all your aspirations to go to a major. That would have ruined your life and you would not even have known it! You need to have a seat on your fat asp, pull out a pen and a piece of paper and write this airline a letter thanking them for the opportunities they gave you and how they allowed you to keep your desire to eventually get a job that pays money and where they treat you with respect. Send me your address and I will even send you the pen and paper with a stamped envelope to get you started. Maybe one of the other guys will come over and wipe your asp after the next time you give a crap, you sick ungrateful pilot want-to-be!

Did you explain that when you turned your Jeppesens in they found one of the 3000 pages was missing and another one had a coffee stain on it! Did you, did you tell them that! A missing page and a coffee stain and you expect your vacation pay. Call your mom because she is the only one who wants to hear this ship. Imagine if they had given those Jeps to another pilot, I can see the headline now, "Plane from respected airline crashes into manure truck during approach into Saint Louis, coffee stained approach plate found on scene! Former pilot who is sought for questioning is on the run after leaving his vacation hotel with unpaid charges."

There are 2 types of people at that airline, the ones who are "planning on leaving", and the ones the airline is about to fire. Those in the second category are thinking that - "they won't fire me because they are desperate for pilots and can't get anyone to come here!" It seems like every few days someone gets a big suprise! After all, its the Christmas season. To quote a former chief pilot there as described by his roomate's girlfriend, "I didn't plan on firing anyone today, but one guy came in and before I knew what was happening I had fired him. Bad day for him, ... he he he." Now, here comes the funny part, he fired the roomate's girlfriend a few weeks later.

I highly recommend this airline to anyone willing to take a gamble. Eventually they will either have to improve their ways or shutdown. If they improve their ways you will get all the benefit of the fast movement because of the high amount of attrition! And each and every day you go to work you will experience the thrill and excitement of the life of a soap opera actor! The gossip of hearing about who was terminated and why, about Bob quitting and them not paying his vacation, about Diedra getting breast cancer then being fired, about Dawn publicly supporting the union and being fired, and the constant intrigue created by always wondering when you will be written off of the script! It was a gamble for anyone to go to Eastern Airlines in 1988 but the potential benefits were incredible! This could be your Eastern! Have some balls and Goooo---Jettttt!

Yup happened to me too and I already posted this issue early on in this thread but some people didn't believe it. I didn't pursue any more actions because the time and stress involved was not worth $500 bucks.

Was this a sarcastic post?? LOL Its hard to tell because its lengthy. Most people write a sentence to prove a point but, the rest of the thesis is toward his/her main idea.

LOL right on. I vowed that I would never engage in bickering concerning any airline but this is far from an airline. I honestly have no words to describe the malicious business practices used here against its employees to gain a dime. I am not bashing, or was ever disciplined, or ever involved against anything there. But it boils my blood when people misinform potential new hires with misleading and groundless information. It is my goal to be as honest and transparent as possible without offending anyone unless that person offends me for my honest efforts

Ok, here is a real life scenario that happened at an interview. I know this because I know one of the people at the panel.

Pilot shows up at a Compass interview and long story short, the panel found out he worked for GoJet ( not by some magic, it came up in the interview because the pilot disclosed it). I don't know the specifics but he was told by the panel that they would love to hire him but upper management would not allow it. The panel actually suggested the pilot seek legal actions.

The reason why you cannot flow from one airline to another like you are able to at RAH, is because of the difference in contracts between all three airlines. All three airlines need to operate, and so they don't want pilots to transfer every time one airline gets a better contract than the other. Plus, this is something that would need to be agreed upon by the Union MECs and Gojet is IBT whereas Compass and TSA are ALPA.

I guess in this world of twitter I must learn to limit my posts to 140 characters. I'm from the northeast so sarcasm is more of a way of life than a writing style. I thought I was being very witty when I was writing the post but maybe the length drown out the message.

I'm guess I'm tired of hearing guys complain about Nogojet. There are the fools that go there without researching how bad it is and then there are the idiots who learn how bad it is and go anyway. They go there, make a bad joke and get fired and then they want to complain! I don't get that. Of course this site has always deleted negative posts about Nogojet until recently, so maybe there are people that just don't know.

What's the difference between a NoGoJet pilot and a pizza? A pizza can feed a family of 4. (Actually resulted in the teller being terminated. The question for you is, was he fired because it insulted the company, or did they feel they had to fire him because his jokes were so bad the company was embarrassed?)

You do realize XJT is parking/transferring airframes to TSA, while G7 is gaining 7 aircraft don't you? Did you consider TSA? No offense, but you might want you're head examined.

Live near a one leg base... Yes!! Overall good group of pilots and good company with a good contract. Im just not going to chase knee jerk reactions to the environment right now. I believe things will be fine for xjt, maybe not PSA or tsa growth right now but everything I've heard is those companies are having trouble fulfilling those large contracts.... XJT will be fine!!!
