No high and mighty, just facts... Facts that G7 will deny to their death. Why people continue to go to these low paying regionals is beyond me, but by trying to educate people will prevent it going forward. RAH indirectly bailed G7 out, by forcing Delta to replace planes that were being parked versus shifting flying from a poorly performing carrier. And mothballed for about 10 years? Please, the oldest of your 900's was delivered to Pluna in 2008, roughly 8.5 years ago. So exactly how has a plane been mothballed for 10, when the plane is only 8.5 years old..

Beaten to hell, Interior and exterior. Good thing other airlines can cover.

The fact we have lost a ton of people from our top, and keeping up with attrition says that our hiring numbers are fine. I see you post the same dumb crap on here at JC as well, just gets old.

What "dumb rumors" have I posted? And just because someone doesn't like what I have to say or doesn't agree does not make me a troll.

I came in as a street captain, Feb 15, and have cleared $47,694.26 to date. That'll average out to $72,944/yr. Tell me where I could have made that on first year pay? No to mention I'm building TPIC, which I know in today's market isn't the end all number needed, but it will be nice to have if something goes to crap again. Our FO's are upgrading at about 13-15 months with no prior 121. Of course that depends on what base they are at, as DEN takes a lot longer to hold a line. As of now, FO's are holding a line at DTW, STL, ORD and RDU as soon as off IOE. I'm also not saying that G7 is the highest paying, but is by far not the lowest. Without per-diem, only guarantee pay, 1st year FO is $40,350. Once you throw in per-diem, 150% up to sometimes 300% open time pickup, you can make a lot more.

C'mon man, that's a stretch and you know it... The same thing could have been said about Endeavor as Chautauqua replaced them in JFK...

My bad, ya got me there... That airline only flew those 900's for a couple years before mothballing them and the timeline maybe closer to 5 years. Either way, they needed A LOT of maintenance prior to and even after hitting the line. Some even with volcanic ash damage.

GoJet has not had any cancellations in the past year that I have been here. This is not the place to find answers when it comes to a class date you say you already have. This to me sounds like someone trying to ruin the name of GoJet. I understand many believe this place is not where one should go, but it has been great for many of us. Classes are not cancelled and we will continue to grow as an airline.

That last sentence is a huge leap. In today's market most regional airlines are shrinking.

As stated above we are currently gaining more than we are losing which is saying a lot because attrition is high here. I will say though that statement overall is true.

Also keep in mind that if you are a member of our armed forces Randy Bratcher and Brad Sargent will bounce you out of that place faster than ****. I am not making this up nor trolling it is in the court documents in the Missouri Eastern District court in the las Sievers v. GoJet Airlines case 4:16-cv-01220. This is what they told a member of the armed forces when they fired him for attending to his commitment in the U.S. Armed Forces. In addition to this these two individuals are extremely racist.
