I work at GoJet. And honestly, I have no complaints. I have a good schedule, upgrades are 2 years, new planes on the way, spent 1.5 months on reserve, and the company has not screwed me. APC is not the real world... yes every job has its ups and downs, so people complain but you will find that anywhere. GoJet has been good to me. I'm glad I came here and I encourage others to join.

If I had to ***** and moan, yeah maintenance issues can be annoying. Big whoop. Do not base your career decisions purely based on stuff you hear on this website. It has the squeakiest of the squeaky wheels.

It's on this site... look it up. About the same as every other regional. Currently offering an 8k signing bonus with no contract.

Nothing even resembling cancelation pay. You'll lose that $8k signing bonus in flight pay loss.

And that's my point. Cancellation pay is CRUCIAL especially at a place where there's long stretches of inclement weather. When your company bids so low for the contract that they can't squeeze anything else out for the pilots...you have what we call a bottom feeder. Go to SkyWest or Trans a States...make a livable & respectable wage & much better contract.

This guy is either a management troll or seriously smoking go-crack.

I have friends at GoJet currently and formerly who would tell you to stay away. There is a reason it is considered one of the worst options for a regional.

Cancellation ot is a big thing I was looking at. I know Republic has an issue with that as well. Skywest would be good, but I'm also a Rotor guy and they give me half credit for those hours... Not cool. I appreciate all the responses! Helps give me an idea of what is there if I want to stick around close to base.

Gojet will work with your rotor time, they did for an army copter driver but he also had some serious fixed wing time...all kinds of CXL pay in the next contract, that part is a lock
