[QUOTE=AVIATORCFI;1602261]
People have all kinds of reasons to work for a different regionals, but being happy about someone's misfortune is just plain ignorant. Today Skywest's pilots have a better work rules but it does not mean they will have them tomorrow.
Almost all pilots have had "better work rules" than those at Gojet, since the day Gojet started...

Upgrade times? (12 months) Would that change at all if I have 121 time already?
Most junior base? (I'm hoping to get STL any chance of that?)
Reserve times?
How long does training take?
After the April 7th class is the next one really not till August?
Random question but do the 700's have wifi on them?
Thanks for the help!

Most junior base is RDU. STL is easy to get as of now. So short FOs you can take your pick.
Reserve times are back down to a month or toe for now in RDU. Not Sure about ORD. STL is probably around a year.
89 days.
They don't tell us anything. Not sure about classes.
The delta planes do.

Thanks for the quick reply 8hourrule. I got an email from HR is it says "Upgrades are approximately 12 months". I take it that is just an exaggeration to get more pilots?

A large one. I have been here a year and 4 months. I don't expect to upgrade anytime this year.

I take every upgrade time told me by a recruiter with a large grain of salt. A my current place they told us 18 months, but we can't keep FOs right now.
As for GoJet, it seems like there's a lot of FOs leaving for bigger and better things, not just Captains.
I was told August would be the first class beyond April.
Reserve is really that short in RDU? How many days off are line holders getting? Are you bidding lines or PBS? Online trip trading?

GoJet has a few issues...
The biggest issue that I see is that the Union is just plain awful. They do absolutely zero for the pilot group and although the pilot group desperately wants another union, they are going to be hard pressed to find one. The crews there are really great folks; they do their best to make the most of things but they know management doesn't care about them and they exploit the crappy contract that the pilot group has; not that the union would ever enforce what little there is...
FO's don't want to deal with the BS and so they leave; with very few exceptions everyone is looking for better. Until the union they have is replaced and a reasonably good contract is in place, people will continue to bail.
Their are good folks here. It's sad to see such great potential go to waste, but I don't see a solution any time soon.

Can someone please explain to me why we're not starting another class till August when were already understaffed? I suspect it's because they're behind on IOE. But all I hear is rumors.
