I believe I read GoJet is not hiring anymore.

Since they are part of TSA holdings, are they going to be stable for the foreseeable future or the next to close down?

They are scheduled to get 70 more planes, from what I read on another thread, but I assume preferential hiring for TSA and Compass...

GoJet has stopped hiring and has canceled future classes. March 17 class & earlier are continuing.

This is why cargo is the best type of flying. Lots of open time right now while the people carriers are dumping pilots and flight attendants, our ops are going buck wild! Good luck out there boys.

I'll give it another 10 days.

Did you see the auto manufacturers shutting plants down? Business is winding down everywhere, cargo will go too. Especially acmi. Pax carriers will lower prices to take every pound they can just to generate revenue.

stuff like car parts don't matter right now, there's a lot of basics stuck all over the world and that needs to be flown. pretty sure cargo is gonna keep flying no matter what. even american and company started flying cargo with no passengers, and there's a reason for that.

This right here. I’m just hoping there are no bailouts for any airlines. Especially the legacy carriers. They have had 20 years since their last bailout to get sorted. No more. I’m tired of supporting people on welfare indefinitely. I’m tired of supporting airlines while they record record profits and give jobs to those less qualified because the candidate is an aviation minority (non white male or female.). At my last job (Skywest) I flew with awesome white guys at 30 years old with 5k pic in 121, degree no black marks, and all that. Nothing. Crickets. But Manuella Ramirez who just got off IOE and has 1600 hours, HIRED! I’m Latino but only applied at one of the legacies because I don’t want to work anywhere else. I left my regional because I didn’t want to commute, thus I’m getting a confirmed ticket at my ACMI. Life is a zillion times better. Rant over.

I see where you’re coming from but the government caused this economic downturn by keeping everyone on lockdown. Why shouldn’t they help out the industries they have negatively affected?
