Do not come to GoJets
For those of you looking to come to Gojet let me give you a little heads up. I have been at this airline for about 4 years. At first as you can read a little of my past threads. It was a good place to be. It is now not the same. You want to avoid this place like the plague. There is no reason on earth why you would ever want to come here. Our DO that comes directly from Comair at first looked like he was going to do good things. But it is the same old BS. It is directly management against the pilots! There are no reserves, period! There is no time off! Period! There is no great schedules! You will work min days off and barely get min credit!!!! They want us to recommend pilots and bring people to the airline and I can not in good conscience ever do that. They will pay us $5000 to get you to come here. Stay away!!!!! Trust me go to anywhere but here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to think this place was great. I WAS WRONG!!!!!! LOOK AT MY PREVIOUS POSTS!!!!!! I WAS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How the hell is that possible? Show us in your contract. Unless you are on a vacation period, this is BS. I'm so tired of the GJ apologist crowd trying to trick people into going there.

I don't know, I don't make the schedule. Not on vacation. I'm tired of the people making it out to be such a bad place to work, when they often don't even work here. Shocking, but I haven't had a bad experience here.

What are the days off for reserves at GJ? I think most regionals get 11 days off, and no more (except vacation, MIL, etc. You know, not stuff included in a normal reserve line.). Eight days off in a reserve line does not add up, or did you bid four days the end of Jan and four days off the beginning of Feb??? Which is also a *very* important little nugget to mention. You're acting like 8 days off in 10 while on reserve is just a normal thing.

Don't be surprised if they start consolidation at TSH. If they have to compensate Gojet like everyone else there is no reason to pay for the added cost of seperate certificates. Could explain RL's latest memos on growth.

People are happy there and many are not. Its entirely up to the person's personality, intelligence, and aspirations to gather up an opinion about anything.
I am sure they all had their reasons to defend their employment status there. In my opinion, those people have probably been there long enough to be upgrading or have upgraded years ago, or are brand new reserve pilots that haven't had enough experience to gather up any information. In other words, too much time invested to go anywhere else, and not enough time to know any better.
Favoritism does happen there. I knew of someone who never bid for open time (was a line holder) and all this pilot had to do was call his sugar mommy scheduler and let her know if a trip popped up with certain criteria, to assign it to him. I heard it from this person first hand but, believe what you want. This is an anonymous forum and for all you know someone from management is on here posting sunshine and rainbows.
If you do work there and somehow become bitter against that place, be very very careful of what you say to your captains. Yes, some love that special relationship with their managers and will stab you in the back. WHATCH WHAT YOU SAY AROUND CAPTAINS YOU DON"T KNOW.
I don't have any admiration for any of the Comair street captains that came in and took my seat, my money, my food, and my quality of life. Had they not taken the job, GoJet would of been forced to upgrade WITHIN by lowering their minimums. But, this was a company move and sadly enough due to the turd of a contract that was in place.
They will assign trips to reserve pilots prior to posting them on open time for line holders to have the ability to trade/or pick up extra work. Reserve pilots are happy because they get to fly but, are violating the contract and effecting the long term unity and chance of a successful contract in the future. Once again, short sighted versus long term.
The truth is that once this company gets the staffing they need, all these little perks will go away. To better make an educated prediction one has to look at the history of the subject in question. What this does is reveal a pattern and a personality trait that will never change. This can be used to predict what the future will bring to a more accurate degree. We all have to take risks if we want to succeed but, there are calculated risks and then there is stupidity.
Good luck to all.
