I think I see a common thread in some of these posts. Y'all are talking about all the furloughed pilots that are working at the Parasite. They aren't worried about "a scarlet letter on their record" because they will eventually go back to their "real" job. In the mean time, it is the best job they can get. I know, I'll probably be looking for something soon too.

Because simply I had no other means of education. some days i drove for 48 hours straingt just to get to my home airport to get some flying. And I did as a part 61 student i finishe 6 ratings in lessthen a year. Then instructed for 4 months and went to XJT.

Did you tell this story during your interview, because you seem very proud of it? A true professional finds a way to get it done without breaking the rules. I could care less if you worked at GoJet or any other carrier. What does concern me is your obvious disregard for rules and regulations. Makes me wonder what you would do to get ahead at the airline. Your managements ******* Dream! A pilot who will hang his own *** out to dry, for some personal benefit. If Gojet is as bad as they say it is, then you belong there.
Good luck! Anyone who rolls the dice is going to need it!

Did you go to the Feds? If they're doing something illegal, shouldn't the Feds know????

Well I must say 1000% is a big number. Are you going to volunteer to let scheduling rape you at GJ (which they will, we have the same crew schedulers), just so you can make ends meet? Are you going to go back to XJet if they call you back?

After I got furloughed from ExpressJet I got a Job flight instructing at PanAm now called TranPac academy in phoenix. The kind of illigal stuf they do and the ammount of people they fire for standing up for whats right or whats semi-legal is astonishing. And the kind of operations they ask you to engage in is totally illegal. I am at GoJet now so are 3 of my friends. We are happy. i was misarable at my passed job. asked to be there everyday 12 hours a day doing gorund stuff and flying close to 7 hrs a day. And on your days off being forced to come to work or be cussed out and fired. I am tired of that bull****. I wish people that posted **** on this forum would back it up nut just open their moths. 3 of my friends at GoJet are on reserve and they still like it there.

Gojet gets alot of applications every day. It's like a 6 weeks wait until you get called for an interview now. I like how people are bashing something, and if you search Gojet on different forums there is so much hate and negativity towards them, but who are these people that are applying there. I am willing to bet that at least half the people that bash gojet on this forum, if faced with a hard job situation would apply at gojet. They are just not telling anyone about it. My favorite is when they say "I'd rather be a gas station attendant". You know I have yet to see someone actually turn down a job flying a jet and go pump gas.
I am not trying to say that I stand for what gojet did to TSA pilots, but you have to look out for YOUR OWN best interests especially in these financial times.
P.S. I just don't get why people care about spelling so much on here, it's like who cares. I have GED and don't know how to spell. so back off.
