GoJet Airlines - The Real Deal
Long time lurker...
Alright, so I keep reading about GoJet airlines being the worst possible choice for a regional, about it being career suicide, about everyone at GoJet basically being evil.
Really? Is it? How so?????
Are there any GoJet pilots on here that can give their actual personal experience from working at the airline?
If you worked at GoJet was it IMPOSSIBLE for you to find another job at a "better" airline???
And for all those who will jump and say negative things, WHY? Why is it career suicide? WHY is it the worst airline?
There's a long list of regionals and quite frankly I get the feeling that they're all horrible after reading so much here on APC.
I'm not trying to be on team gojet here, I'm just deciding on what regional to apply to and I don't understand all the hate towards G7.

Kid, you should go there and see for yourself. I've heard too many horror stories about that place, and experienced the same at a 135, and various 91's operators. Aviation is unique in that a company can destroy your career with a pen. For a 121 operator to even have rumors of doing this, is a warning that should not be ignored. Listen, I work for Mesa, and they don't pull that crap. Benefits and pay aside, Mesa is a great company to work for. GoJet? We have many ex GoJetters at Mesa, all have said that Mesa is a million times better. I'm not trying to sell you on Mesa, just trying to give you some contrast.

I was at GoJet and like every other regional they have good people and not so good people, the pilot group was better I would say than I have seen before, and I have been to great lakes and piedmont.
I will say this though, they do have a reputation for ruining peoples careers, their is a checkman nick named pink slip pete , and that's exactly what they have him their for to issue pink slips, he will find a way to bust you on check ride, I wont recommend anyone going there who has aspirations of going to a legacy, this guy is an old fart would never make it to a major or legacy, and he will stop who ever is trying to get to one

I shudder at the thought.
