From what I have heard Brad Sargent and Randy Bratcher conduct wide spread practices of racism and discrimination at GoJetz. Here is the examples.

On August 16, 2016, Riggan Law Firm, LLC, an employment law firm located in St. Louis, Missouri, filed an employment discrimination lawsuit on behalf of its client, an airline pilot, against GoJet Airlines. The lawsuit—filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri—alleges that the Plaintiff airline pilot was fired in violation of the Uniformed Service Employment and Reemployment Rights Act ("USERRA"). USERRA is a federal law that establishes rights and responsibilities members and their civilian employers, including the right for service members to take time off work to fulfill service obligations.

The following are some allegations from the lawsuit:

At the beginning of his employment, Plaintiff informed Defendant that he was a member of the Illinois National Guard, and also informed the Defendant of his training and service obligations as a member of the Guard.
Despite being on notice of Plaintiff's military obligations, Defendant caused Plaintiff to miss multiple prescheduled training sessions with the Air National Guard due to Defendant's job training requirements and work trips that were extended without notice.
Defendant also made unreasonable requests regarding Plaintiff's Air National Guard service schedule and supporting documentation.
Defendant's actions toward Plaintiff culminated when Plaintiff's employment was terminated.
At the time of the termination, Plaintiff was at his National Guard base for mandatory training, and he received a call from a GoJet manager stating that GoJet did not believe Plaintiff was in the military and questioned why Plaintiff was taking leave from work.
In response, Plaintiff stated that he was in fact in the Air National Guard, that he was currently on his base for mandatory training, and that his leave was protected by USERRA. Plaintiff also offered to show the GoJet manager his military identification card once he returned to work.
The manager replied by stating to Plaintiff, "Don't lecture me on USERRA; I'll bounce you out of here faster than ****."
Plaintiff tried to explain his position further, but the GoJet manager interrupted him and stated, "My office, Thursday at noon" and then hung up the phone on Plaintiff.
Given that Plaintiff was on "orders" and on his base for Guard training, he knew he would be unable to attend the meeting that was set by the GoJet manager.
When Plaintiff was unable to attend the meeting, he was fired by e-mail shortly after the time for the meeting, and while Plaintiff was still on Guard duty at his base.
The suit seeks recovery of lost pay and benefits, liquidated damage, injunctive relief, attorneys' fees, and litigation costs/expenses.

 

I have heard that captains at Gojet in 2015 were making 120,000 plus per year. But that all seems to have come from people not at Gojet who were saying what friends had supposedly earned. Can anyone from Gojet tell us what regular, non-management guys at Gojet actually made in 2015 with that triple time?

 

That's totally plausible. I was making over $5000 some months on first year pay with 200% at Trans states. I can only imagine captain pay at 300%.

 

I have a friend that has a CJO from Gojet,Xjt and Pdt..He is former 121 and looking to get back in the game.Gojet and Pdt will offer him a very quick upgrade with his prior 121 time,but he lives in an Xjt base.Xjt would offer him a great qol and has a great contract, but he would never see the left seat there.He is contemplating G7,giving it alot of thought.After reading all of the info in this thread, he has ruled them out.

 

Idle, he needs to get back in the game, jet time and PIC time. One step back two steps forward kind of thing. If one can keep their head down, get the time and move on then G7 would be fine. The other thing you must think about is what if you can't, or don't move on? I would pick an airline where you could be happy staying. It does happen you know. Yes, a place with a flow is great but nothing is ever 100% guaranteed. We'll have a new El Presidente in the U.S. soon (I for one can't believe it'll be either of those jack wagons)but none the less, better hold on tight to your loved ones cause it may be a bumpy ride.

I flew for one of the Hulas teams and it wasn't pefect but it was ok. I got turbine PIC and then moved on. I've been invited back if I need a job and have a good reference from them so I'll always have a place if I need to pay the bills with my mad skills.

Tell your friend to get what he wants and needs from wherever he goes but to not make a total decision based on rants on an anonymous forum.

Getting my flack jacket on and helmet now for the bombardmant (clever how I got a bombardier reference sort of in there) I am now going to get about Go-Jets.

All the best.

 

I'm at GoJet now, you can message me if you need more info...

 

Granted, plenty of places offer a quick upgrade these days, not just Gojets. Piedmont does and you have a flow with it, Commutair does and they have the United deal, Endeavors isn't long and you'll make good money as an FO and have the Delta interview. Movement is everywhere now.

 

I just googled "lawsuits against Gojet " and three different one showed up. I stopped scrolling but I am sure there are more. Yet, people will still go there.

 

Ladies and gents, this is the employer you work for or looking into working for. I worked there and it's been years since but things hasn't changed and will never change. "Keeping your head down" beware of these words. If people have to say that about an employer, then you do not want to be there. Sounds like a POW camp. Below its just one of many other cases I found.

"According to South’s Petition, his wife fell and injured herself on March 10, 2010. The injury required surgery, which was scheduled for May 7, 2010. On April 21, 2010, South submitted paperwork to GoJet to request leave from May 7 through May 15, 2010, to care for his wife under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), 29 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq. The completed paperwork, including the physicians findings, was submitted to GoJet on April 30, 2010. On May 4, 2010, Chief Pilot Captain Dennis Craig (Craig), South’s supervisor, called South and asked him to reconsider taking FMLA leave because GoJet was short on pilots. On May 5, 2010, Craig informed South that his request for FMLA leave was denied because he did not make his request thirty days prior to taking leave and he did not earn sixty percent of his salary over the previous twelve months. Subsequently, South called in sick for the days he had previously requested FMLA leave.
On May 13, 2010, Craig directed South to report to his office in St. Louis, Missouri, for a meeting that would be held on May 14, 2010. South did not show up for the May 14 meeting. Craig thereafter terminated South’s employment and sent him a termination letter to that effect."

 

There's a name I'll never forget....I heard all the lowlife at G7 during training.
