If he were a management person he would be talking more like you, 3kids. Doesn't Randy have 3kids? The company has never said the contract has been renewed and United has never said the contract has been renewed. The company never announced it on a call-in show either, although they might have said something to make people think it has been renewed. I just spent 30 minutes checking the internet for any possible announcement, which clearly would have been made by Gojet in their recruitment efforts, nothing. Kind of like their 60% long term disability language, you are forgetting the 1000 per month limit, what they say may be misleading.

I am definitely hoping that you are correct because I don't want to commute. But United has been clear, they don't want the CRJ-700s in Chicago and have been moving them out for almost 2 years now. They did not renew the Skywest contracts. If Gojet is going to stay in Chicago it will be because of the arrival of 170s/175s or maybe those MRJs if they ever come. For recruitment purposes they might do what we do for Delta in RDU, keep a few crews in ORD and fly them out to DEN or IAD for the actual flying. Heck we did that from 2006 til 2009, ORD was where you began and 4 days later you usually deadheaded back. But, unless we get the new type ORD will go bye bye or will be shrunk to nothing. Don't come to G7 if you need to live in ORD.

Also, look at the Envoy news today, they are going 170 too and I think that Chicago will become the battleground. Nobody wants to stand in that freezing jetway for the ramp people to carry the carryons across the ice while their connection is about to push back. I hate it as much as the passengers do. One question, aren't you happy when you find out you are deadheading to Chicago on a 175 instead of a CRJ?

 

How is the DEC program working out?

 

I just received my offer letter for DEC.
My current gig is going away. Need somthing else.

 

You're actually going to GoJets?

 

If you were my worst enemy in the world I advise you to reconsider going to Gojet.
If you were my best friend in the world I would demand that you not go to Gojet!

Absolutely the worst decision I ever made.

 

The MRJs, which will never fly for any regional are going to TSA per a LOA

 

Another reason not to go to Gojet. Is there any future at Gojet or for Gojet? It seems like they are winding down and only want to hire pilots to finish things up. The United flying from ORD is going and the Delta flying is going to Endeavor, I believe I heard. TSA is getting the MRJs. The pilots took a lousy contract because of what reason? Better a little more for a short time than less for a short time. Maybe that was a good move. The DO is gone and they replaced him with a guy who has no idea what a DO does. Seems short term.

I'm betting they won't be flying past the 15th of September. But this is only based upon upon the clues I can see like everyone else. Would love to hear other predictions.

 

I would recommend collecting unemployment for a couple months (maybe not that long until you get a call from a decent company) and do the research. You will make more money on unemployment than working for GoJet. Zero health insurance, no 401k and get ready to submit pay discrepancy reports. Good luck, I hope you chose wisely. The stressful environment that they promote isn't worth the sacrifice.

 

I want hear from someone with experience on the DEC program at Gojets.
