They want all the 700s gone except for the Aspen flying. That is why they wanted G7 to have it so they could keep that airline going because the more regionals they have competing the more they can drag down the costs. Since G7 could not handle the Aspen flying either G7 will get ERJs or they will have to find a new place for the 700s.

They just extended SkyWest 700’s contract for 9 years. 19-700’s. Pretty much the amount needed durring full Aspen ops in the winter...

I think it’s become clear that it’s probably the latter and I think that will be difficult.

Default Worse regional airline ever!!!!

Hey guys,
I figured I am going to make a post about Gojet and I have so much to say, I can go over details (small or big) but long story short STAY AWAY from that mess especially if you are not willing to have a failure on your record. A friend of mine joined the company as a street captain with previous experience on the CRJ including CA time and after he joined he helped me in as well so he did great on all of his exams and so did I. To keep it short we both went to the final check ride (practical) and we both failed, they offered my friend the FO position and they kicked me out without even purchasing a ticket for me to go home. AWEFUL EXPERIENCE! The instructors are so unprofessional, they show up in jeans, t-shirts and tennis shoes, talk like track drivers and have a horrible and unfriendly attitude. If you like your career and want to grow and expand please don't go to BlowJet, there are many other airlines that will treat you much better and you will have the opportunity to learn something useful for when you get on the line. I ended up at SkyWest, passed all my exams without any issues, people were great and professional and that is my home now. I love it. Of course there are other good airlines like, Endeavor, Envoy, Compass, Air Wisconsin etc. I would avoid Mesa, BlowJet, Piedmont, PSA, CommutAir, ExpressJet (although I heard people at expressjet are good and professionals they still give checkride failures for nothing).

Thank you for reading and good luck!

Geez, how long has GoJet been around? 10 years or so? And how long have people been saying don’t go there? Yup, the same amount of time. The GoJet story has been well documented over the years, and still people choose to go there. If you choose to ignore all the warning signs, then it’s your own damn fault

It sounds like you were given some bad info on XJT, since that couldn’t be further from the truth...
XJT is known for their high quality AQP training program, and they have been very patient in working with people and giving them extra sims.

Nothing is more fun than watching idiots go to Gojet after having been fully informed about what it is like.

People ignore what they don't want to believe. They even ignore the rulings of federal juries against Gojet and go there.

You could have film of people going into class and being doused with gas and set on fire and the same amount of people would be showing up for the future classes. They demand to see for themselves. They want the challenge.

Good luck to all the Gojet new hires. I guarantee you will have stories to tell your grandkids. Tell Randy that I said great things about Gojet.

We all screwed up for going there, I hope the newbs will learn how to listen so they don't need to learn the hard way like we "idiots" did.

I actually feel like an idiot for choosing to ignore the warnings so no offense taken.

I apologize, I don't personally have any experience on xjet, all of my info came from some people who bailed out for failing check rides there but it could always be a defense mechanism and just project their failure onto the airline, you never know.
