To answer your question, yes. You will fill out a preference sheet at the end of your systems training to indicate your preference and need for transportation or driving yourself for each location listed.

Is it the military Puerto Rican guy? Last name starts with D or something.

He's a pretty chill guy, just met him today. He is super nice, seems very very strict on having the best instructors and pass rates possible.

He is extremely pro-student, I really like that guy.

everyone is pro pilot in the sense that without new guys coming in, there’s no way to keep the doors open long due to attrition. So, it’s in everyone’s best interest… yours, the company’s, and the pilot group to make sure you are trained, prepared, competent, and ready.

All the instructors I’ve met are there because they enjoy teaching. No one is going to try and “get you”. No one takes delight in failimg a student but if you don’t deserve to pass, you won’t and that’s a good thing. Would you want to have your mother on a flight with someone who didn’t deserve to pass at the controls?

My biggest piece of advice is that you chair fly and work on the flows / profiles and get the callouts DOWN COLD BEFORE YOU GET IN THE SIM. I can’t stress that enough. The sim is not the place to be learning the callouts & profiles, and leaves you more time to concentrate on stalls, v1 cuts, engine fires, and just running the qrh for whatever emergency, etc…

As long as you apply yourself and show up prepared, they’ll do everything in their power to help you succeed. Not sure how they are assigning sim partners but make sure it’s someone who will study with you. Who will go to the training center and review profiles on the paper cockpit on a day you don’t have a sim session. If your sim partner won’t, go anyways or find others who will and review with them. You get out of it what you put in. If you ask for help you’ll get it.

Can’t say the same about what I’ve heard about gojet though… from multiple sources. It’s as if they hate pilots there

my friend at gojet loves it and says they have close to a 100% pass rate.

First I have ever heard about anyone even being able to mildly tolerate GoJet. It is a terrible place.

I know multiple people that have double busted upgrade and are stuck at FO.

A 100% pass rate is a really bad thing at a regional airline. No regional should have a 100% pass rate. At the very best, it should be about 85%.

A regional airline is a place for untested and new pilots. Not all of them will have what it takes to pass training. At least 10% should wash out even in the best hiring environments (few jobs with lots of qualified candidates). In a market like this, the wash out rate should be much closer to 20%.

If the pass rate is close to 100%, that means that there are a lot of pilots that are passing training that should not be passing. This is one of those things that the accident investigators will be looking at soon enough, after GoJet crashes an airplane.

Just passed my ATP and CRJ type check ride at Gojet. From my experience you have to work hard and if you do you can be successful. Some didn’t make it and others didn’t pass their first try. Not sure whats up with the misinformation but the examiners were fair and obviously knew if you put the time in to prepare. Do what your supposed to do and work hard. Its your job! Do the work and be a good partner, no mystery to it.

As with any 121 training experience, you get out of it what you put in. If you don't want to study that's fine, but it probably won't end well.

I hear that PSA is parking airplanes. Any truth to this?

If so, does this mean slower movement?
