For the record, we have had cancellation pay since December 1st. Also 300% pay for open time. New contract is coming soon, which will have cancellation pay (without having to file pay discrepancies).

I see several posts from a year ago saying the contract is coming soon. I talk to people who tell me that GJ union is merely asking for a middle range contract of what is already out there. Middle of pay rates and a few other things but none of the other things that Skywest and the others already have. Shouldn't they be going for a top pay contract so they are not back at the bottom again in a few months?

300% open time pay and they can't get people to fly or to go there, something is not being said. Gojet's contract with United is coming up soon. United does not want the CRJs and I don't think will renew. Does GJ have a plan? Will the CRJs be moved out of Chicago and Denver to Raleigh and New York? I'm hearing that is what is being looked at. Any info on any of this?

I know a lot of people that went there and almost all have left. They all recommend against going there. Does GJ have a future? Seems like 300% pay is better then the contract they are asking for. If they are flying you 90 hours a month you cannot pickup much of the 300% pay. They limit you to 97 hours a month so that would be 7 hours at triple time of 24 an hour. 7 times 24 times 3 is how much extra a month? 209 a month I think. 2400 a year. That is not much but 300% does sound like a lot. Who is giving 22k plus the overtime?

I just took a look at TheyCallMeRed's posts. He seems to be the big defender of gojet. Either he really likes it there or is part of management or recruiting. Seems like he tries to downplay anything negative by questioning the poster's ability to fly or to understand things. But his post above states facts so I am glad he is now doing a factual debate.

Can you get us additional facts? Any contract specifics?

Seems like a good deal for someone looking to get 500 PIC on an RJ though.

The second you call up and say they are violating your contract, they fire you. Well, at least that is the recurring theme I keep hearing, and your paystub not matching what you did. Good luck with that.

So you're saying there is no Union and no grievance process. Got it. Anyone can chime in with reality?

Let me start off by saying if you use this website to make career decisions then you really are stupid!!! The reason is because just whats going on in this thread. Certain people have grudges against certain regionals so they attack them. Hey guess what news break all regionals suck and they all have taken flying from others so get the f over it!! Now on the other topic of street captains at GoJet I have 2 good friends of mine that are Captains at G7 on 4th year pay making 100k a year this year and still getting 12-13 days off. I encourage all to use very little if any information from this web site for making career decisions. Oh by the way he also stated that the CEO announced in a call in show a few weeks ago that all United aircraft were renewed months ago and the Delta aircraft were renewed when they agreed to take the crj 900. I jusy have to laugh at all the BS that is spewed for truth by half wit know it all's on this site!

1.- UAL contracts renewed last year and UAL is currently installing wifi on the G7-700's , CRJ-7 flying isn't going Anywhere for a long time, some of these frames are only 6 years old

Delta has been known to cancel a regional's contract for not hitting performance metrics, and GoJet is not even close to the contractual minimum performance right now. (see Freedom) So keep that in mind when you say the flying isn't going anywhere... It's going elsewhere every day because GoJet can't cover it. Reserves at the rest of the DCI carriers are sitting reserve for GoJet at the same time.

I'm not known to defend GoJet, but you have no clue what a private company's CPA says and what its associated penalties are. Delta can't just yank the flying if it would be in violation of the CPA and would open themselves up to millions of dollars in lawsuits.
