I hate to say this but the pilots at the majors and Alpa let this happen. DM is right. Like Charlie Sheen, you get used to living with a disease you brought on yourself. You should have realized what it is you were doing when you did it. If you make a choice you must live with it.
This regional jet mess never should have happened. I don't blame the regional guys nd girls. I blame the pilots at the majors for ever letting this cancer happen.

GoJet has a future because we are cheap. That's how the regional industry works. And prior to the software switch, our performance numbers were not bad.
And limited to 97 hours month? I have no idea where you got that from. Many guys are crediting well over 100 hours a month with the open time pickup. Personally I've been enjoying living in base with 16 days off and good schedules so yeah, in my situation GoJet is a good stepping stone. Not to mention there is basically no reserve time if you're a new hire. I'm not saying this company is the best by any stretch of the imagination, but if you want to move up a short seniority list and have some QOL, it can work for you.

Is is still impossible to change your schedule? If you need a day off and want to drop a trip and pick up another one they won't let you, even if the credit is the same?

I don't think G7 will be going anywhere because the airlines like lots of little regionals to compete to keep the prices down. But it does not look like there will be any new flying going to G7 because of their poor performance and the way they mistreat their employees. They can't grow if pilots won't go there. They are loosing captains while the other regionals are losing FOs to the growing companies. I know several GJ Captains who left to go to PSA and were captains there in less then a year. They are all happy with their decision. They tell me your career can be ruined because the company will be vindictive is you go against them. They fired a check airman who would not fly a plane from ORD to STL from an icy rwy during a snow storm with a 15 knot cross wind with the NOSEWHEEL STEERING INOP. (I met the guy.) Is G7 worth the risk? Do you want a busted line check on your record because someone wants to teach you a lesson? It sounds like a mess there. But is there opportunity in this mess?
