GoJet updates
 
I figured I'd give this a try since all the other Gojet fourms have been closed. I'm not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers. I'd like to keep this thread open for guys who are looking for info.


Hiring: Hiring just recently picked up. No one is sure for the reason it picked up, but we had a class of 8 this month and they are trying to fill a class of 30 something next month. The minimums are hard at 1500. We have hired a wide variety of people. Most new folks are former OH (like I am) or 9E or flight instructors. I would say lately, 80-90% have been former 121. Despite what people might think, we have a wide variety of guys from very different backgrounds. Also, currently we aren't hiring street captains, but that could change at anytime. Upgrade mins are (4500tt, 1000 turbine)

New hire info: New hires are put up double occupency in STL. They have recently changes the hotel, so maybe someone else can chime in as to where we are staying.

Bases: Current bases are RDU, STL, and ORD. ORD is by far the most senior, however, very junior guys are able to hold ORD.

I hope this helps.

Hiring for attrition maybe?

That is what management is saying. That said, next month we are hiring double the amount of people we lost this month.

Oh boy.

Are you guys in that hotel with the decent indian place upstairs?

I was there last summer as a crash pad. Good times.

Also...in.

They keep changing the hotel. That has been one of the hotels. I don't believe it is the current one.

I have many friends who are waterskiers. I respect you guys a great deal. I don't wish you any I'll will. I'm here at G7 because its best for my family. I was happy to hear you guys are growing and that your upgrade times are going down. I hope it gives you a shot in the left seat.

Does this company compensate well? It looks like a great opportunity for the right person. I want to know before I make my decision to apply or not. Thanks!

Do you have the time to upgrade?
