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?

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. 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. |

What are chances getting RDU out of training? And how does the 4500TT upgrade where they match 1:1 for 1000 hrs work? CFI with 2500TT. Would that mean I could fly right seat one year, get my 1000 hrs, they match 1000, thus be at 4500 and be qualified for upgrade in perfect world?

So far, everyone who wants Rdu out of training has been awarded it. |

I am really happy to see a civil info exchanges about GoJet

I guess I am not allowed to ask why people are looking at Go Jets ahead of Trans States.
To my knowledge Trans States is still hiring. I'd like to see the GJ threads let alone more so we don't have yet another thread asking the same questions about the same company. I get to read over and over that people are surprised to find out there is a controversy about GJ. People like GJ, and people don't. I personally enjoy having the option to know the "scuttlebutt" in the industry before making decisions. I'd rather know the skinny here, so I know how better to deal with people off the forums. It's nice to know what the sensitive subjects are ahead of time. So people say "in before the lock." I don't see why that is infraction worthy, but that's not my call. But gees, just about anything and everything else pertaining to GJ is edited or deleted unless its pro GJ or just the facts. OK fine, but the ability to express differing opinions and perspectives is an important part of communication and the expression of feelings is something I'd expect from human interaction. We can be mad and flustered--heck, even laugh and be cheeky about a number if things, but not this subject. I enjoy and respect the mods, but the GJ stuff is over moderated. |

Not really. The problem is people can't seem to follow the rules when it comes to GJ. :rolleyes:
Truth. I just want a thread where people who are interesting in coming to G7 can get current and accurate info. |

GoJet circumvented Trans States Airlines collective bargaining agreement. Any pilot who goes to work for GoJet is simply saying, "Yes, we know, that's okay with us. It's okay to cheat other pilots out of what is rightfully theirs." And don't give me any of that, "Well, the court said otherwise" crap. Damn what the court said. No Mod can disagree with this fact. Carl, when did you get hired at TSA? |

What are some opinions on having GoJet on your resume? What is the current jump seating situation? Any plans of expansion in Denver?

And yeah, the court said Colgan had to be a single operation for us back then, which would have led to an SLI with Colgan, but then the judge went back on his word. And what do you mean "damn what the court said." You'd make a perfect USAPA pilot. |

As for GoJets on your resume, no one in airline HR cares about regional pilot squabbles! For that matter, most major airline pilots don't keep up to date with that stuff either. All that matters is the flight time and quality on your resume. GoJet pilots have left to move onto legacies and majors. I know one who went to Fedex and a couple at VX too, Spirit, and JetBlue. |
GoJet guy?
Captain Billy Hock plays piano for stranded travelers | ksdk.com Good on him, whoever he works for. |

Like someone posted earlier, HR could care less about regional squabbles. Most pilot's doing the interviews are mngt. pilot's anyways. |
