I'm keeping my resume up-to-date. Looking to get back into charter/corporate flying again. I'm just waiting for the right company to call...

What is it with GoJet

Why do so many people get fired from GoJet? I hear the management team is the worst with serious power issues. Stay away or get fired and have your carrier ruined.

Yeah I gotta say that I was pretty surprised to see all of the movement at each company. Had to look at the date of the thread twice. Seems like at ASA, when someone leaves EVERYONE knows about it. I remember last year when someone took an early retirement. Just one guy, and it was the talk of the crew lounge for weeks.

We are hiring more than leave. I know that. I have moved down 22 numbers since last summer. If anything, more people seem to be coming back from military/med leave.

It might have something do with Comair getting ready to furlough 3/4s of their pilots. Ya think?

I know a number of Captains who have been fired. Pretty much for dumb stuff too. It's cheaper for the airline to fire senior captains than to keep them. I agree, why jeopardize your career?

I have moved down over 30 since October. If fuel hadn't gone up so much, I think the movement would continue due to Delta, etc... hiring. We were told 6 months ago that 7 or 8 per month moving on is about average for the recent past.
