G7 growing again?
 

There are very strong rumors that G7 is getting ready to grow again. Class sizes have increased from 8 to 32-40, the company has advertised additional openings for sim instructors, check airmen, and SOC staff, and management has been dropping strong hints and winks in recurrent classes. There is a rumor floating around that 10 used CRJ7s are coming from Europe.. possibly from Lufthansa. Nobody knows who they'll be flown for. Does anyone have any additional details?

Looks like going there would've been a great career move.

Haters gonna hate.

I heard they coming from PSA not Lufthansa...

I guess in the end it will be SkyWest, Republic, and Gojet.

10 of the 14 PSA has? Makes sense?

Do you all still have UAL guys with recall rights?

Yeah but honestly, I think its a matter of time before they are flying for Usair.

There are still a few remaining UAL guys. Several are leaving this month.

with 00 flying them for USair.

US Airways Express operated by Lufthansa.

Yeah right.

What does that even mean? You actually think my post meant that Lufthansa will be flying for US Airways rather than G7? Or am I missing some humor here?

Something is up. Going from a planned class of 8 and turning it to 40-50 means more flying. I've heard every rumor in the book (900's, American flying etc).

I think he misunderstood what you said. I knew what you meant.

Maybe the turnover rate is high

i want to fly for gojet.

Who is g7?

It's only a matter of time until Compass starts growing again with the addition of more DCI E175s...

Embraer offers improved E-175 to win Delta order

Flip the epaulets upside down and tell the ladies "I fly the Plus":D

Somebody has to pick up all that Comair flying...

you heard wrong

Inside out! Get it right, upside down was already done.

And you think that why?

The rumor on the street is that Go Jerks went to US Airways and said that they wanted PSA's 700's. Because they could operate them for cheaper.
We know that this has some value because PSA's management has openly suggested during contract negotiations to scrap PSA's 401k plan in order to be competitive with Go Jerks and keep the 700's.
Negotiation ploy? Most likely. Would i put it past Go Jer.......s? No!

I don't believe our scope section would allow this as long as the aircraft are leased by US Airways. However, when the leases expire, it is not inconceivable that a transfer of airframes could occur to the likes of Go Jet.

GoJetzzz can actually find 32-40 pilots to show up for a class there? If that's true, it's pathetic.

There's a pilot shortage

For better or for worse, most of these guys and gals are ex-Comair folks.

From what I've heard they are having no problem filling classes. Upgrade as soon as you have the time. Junior Capt is Apr 2012 hire. I don't think there is any other regional within 2 years of that.

I don't understand why any ex-Comair person would ever go to GoJetzzzz or any other regional for that matter. The guys left there were all Captains at one point and must have thousands of hours of total time and at least a decent amount of turbine PIC. There have got to be some corporate jobs or maybe Spirit or something else out there.

Honestly 8+ years at a company to start all over on food stamp wages at a place that has the one of the worst if not the worst contracts in an industry segment full of horrific contracts.

The room is full of fat ugly chicks (regional industry), why go pick the fattest, ugliest, and loudest one around?

This isn't accurate. There were many 6+ year FOs (possibly even more junior than that) that were there when the doors closed that never had the chance to upgrade there.

And for the fat, ugly chick comment...maybe because she puts out?? Many of these FOs that are going to GoJet have the time to upgrade almost immediately.

These are the people that held out at Comair for years passing up the opportunities that have existed over the last decade. Yes it has been tight but there have been plenty of opportunities for a qualified pilot to move out of the regionals. It bit them pretty hard.... they might not be that smart but they still do need a job.

And too bad it can't actually be mainline via realignment of aircraft.

"Go Jerks"...gee how witty! You make yourself sound so erudite...

GoJet will be bankrupt by 2014.

God I hope so!

Unfortunately I doubt it, the pilot group would more than likely take even further cuts in pay and bennes in order to continue to lower the bar.

Pilot pay is a small percentage of the overall equation, specially in Go Jet where pilot compensation and total cost are the lowest in the industry, if this company will go belly up the pilots won't be able to save it, but I have no doubt they will try :D

Right...we all just sat around for decades, while jobs were handed to us on silver platters. We didn't want any of them, we preferred to wait around until the company was broken up, so we could crawl to GAYJets and beg for a nice job.

Too bad none of us are as smart as you are.

They'll pay the company to keep their "job" of flying the 7s and potential rumored 9s.

Saddle up, it's GoJetsssssssss time.

Do you realize what a stupid comment this is? You might wanna go back and read what you said again. Going to a major or legacy isn't as easy as you say it is.
