Before the usual TSA guys come on here and ramble on with their nonsense let me give my input from an actual G7 "scab" or whatever they call us nowadays.
Plan to sit reserve 1 month at that most
Yes 18 months. Upgrading 20 a month till I guess whenever they can't upgrade anymore.
I've been here a year now and give or take moving up 10-20 senority numbers a month.
You should be able to hold RDU right out of training. STL is the junior base though for FO's.
From my experiences awesome group of guys to fly with. Never have had any problems so far. Of course every airline has that 2% but I haven't seen them yet. (Most of them are over at TSA). This isn't 2005 anymore. I've never been denied a jumpseat and most majors I jumpseat on they have no clue who GoJet even is. Lot of guys leaving to JBU and UAL at the moment so don't believe the crap people spill on here about tarnishing your career. I myself have an interview next month at another major 121 carrier so it's worked out for me.
I don't need to say our contract sucks. It does. Really bad. We all know it and everyone in this industry knows it. Look how long TSA took to finally get theirs. But I will say whenever hell freezes over and we do get one it will be better than TSA's.
And finally yes LIDO's do suck but we're still using Jepps now at the moment. No trial period has been approved for use of them in flight yet.
That's all I got. Now to wait for the trolls.

Of course you will have a better contract after you are stapled to the bottom of the TSA list after the merger.....

As I've said on here before, I've had a good experience at GoJet thus far. I spent 1.5 months on reserve in ORD. I've had most weekends and almost every holiday off since I started (due to luck, I'm sure, but hey who cares). Each month I've been here I've been dropped from a trip for someone else's IOE, which means 16 days off and then picking up trips to credit 100+ hours. Not bad. Crews are great. There are some complainers but you will find that anywhere. I've been flying a lot and the 2ish year upgrades are real. I'm genuinely glad I came here.

Lol...I was just making a point. Wasn't gonna say anything disparaging about Gojet. It's all in good fun anyhow. Honestly, all the Gojet pilots I've met in person have been real cool. I'm not sure about the 2 posts that were deleted for personal information, but I wouldn't say anything on this forum that I wouldn't say to someone's face. I'm not one pf these a$$ clowns hiding behind a tough guy Internet persona.
