Everyone pay attention here. Do NOT go to GoJet. It has all but ruined my career. The following statement was/is my experience and I feel I should warn others before they make the mistake I made by flying at GoJet.
I went to G7 and was upgraded to Captain within a year and began to accumulate 121 jet P.I.C. time flying broken a/c with many "DMI" stickers that littered the panels flying 4 and 5 legs per day on 4 day trips crediting up to 16-17 hours. I was employed for 4.5 years with a douchebag chief pilot (ex TSA) but a really great base chief pilot (also ex TSA) not fully realizing the detriment effect it would have on my career.
Now, I work for an L.C.C. making more money as an FO than I ever made as a Captain at Blowjet. Getting 18 days off per month with a/c that rarely have an M.E.L. and I must suffer crediting 23.5-26.0 hours on a four day trip all the while flying one leg per day w/ the occasional 2-3 legs on one of those 4 days. I ALWAYS have a jet bridge and crew scheduling just says "Okay" when I call in sick for a trip. Oh, the humanity. If only I would have listened to T Bucket, Shrek and others before I went to Blowjet and ruined my career. But, I didn't listen. I thought I (emphasized) knew better than them. If only I could go back in time and done things the "right" way I wouldn't have to tolerate this amazing seniority and all of the benefits that come with it along with logging time in a larger a/c. Even the former TSA folks I fly with talk to me over beers at the overnight as we share nightmare "Hulas" stories as I cry over the horrible decision I made. I did this to myself though. I constantly am reminded of this horrible decision every weekend and holiday that I am with my family at home. Poor me.

That sounded like a realistic job preview, sarcasm nonwithstanding.
Are the planes really that broke ?
Is the CP really that bad ? He still there ?

The Mx is better than it was, however the winter weather causing Mx issues.
CP isn't a CP anymore. He is back flying the line.
Realistically, this place is becoming Comair 2.0 Same management, same procedures, and ideally, a different outcome from Comair (although I hope to not be here that long)

Any word on how hard it is to hold RDU, or any of the other bases for that matter, out of training ?
