    Where is your $5000 bonus?

    Several airlines have begun offering signing bonus to go there. Gojet just began offering a $5000 bonus paid over a year. They have been in contract talks the last couple of years. The bonuses are a violation of the contract that is in place. The contract specifies how pilots will be paid...

    Gojets

    Gojet is talking about shrinking in the fall. I think the days of upgrades are over for a long time.

    Delta and college GPA

    There are different theories on grading. When I was an undergrad the average gpa in the Northeast was about a 2.5, about a C+. In engineering it was about a 2.1. They wanted everyone to feel challenged. In my master's program in California the average was about a 3.3 (engineering). I think...

    Endeavor Flow for New Hires

    The CBA applies to all but may give less protection to the new hires. If your legal is telling them something different then you need new legal. In collective bargaining individuals give up their individual rights in exchange for bargaining as a group. The company is not free to give certain...

    The Pilot Shortage is here! Part 597

    The word "shortage" is a political term, not an economic one. In a free market when demand for something increases, in this case a pilot, the price goes up until the supply and demand curves are in balance. In our case the pay for a pilot should be going up and then more people with enter the...

    Endeavor Flow for New Hires

    Endevour/Delta cannot just give one deal to some of the pilots and another deal to other pilots. (Assuming they have a union.) All that must be part of the collective bargaining process. That is why there is a union in the first place.

    Regional Pilots Kill 228 People by Pulling up After Stall Warning

    This is how we have been training for the last 15 years or so. We assume every stall occurs at 300 feet and you can't lose 100 feet of altitude without busting the checkride. They had 38,000 feet to recover, but did not do it because they were never trained to. We need to focus more on...

    Kit Darby's Pilot Shortage is Wrong

    The word "shortage" is a political term, not an economic one. In economics when demand exceeds supply the price for the commodity will increase until supply equals demand. What we have been seeing the last 22 years is a change in the commodity that is considered acceptable in order to keep the...

    American Airlines Worker's Compensation Offset

    In an Illinois worker's compensation claim, American Airlines is trying to claim an offset due to the fact that the pilot is receiving disability insurance payments after an on the job injury. The disability insurance of course is a contractual benefit the union negotiated. I have not found...

    United tags on gojet bags?

    It simply matches my career progression, just use the first and last words any you end up with the United Airlines bag tag. United States Air Force, Pan American World Airways, American trans Air, Gojet Airlines. What is my next bag tag? United Vanlines?

    Any Ex-ATA Guys at GoJets?

    Based upon Mr. Lebowski's posts, I am not sure he is in the correct business. His thinking will definately drive him crazy eventually, whether it is right or wrong. Let me look back at my career and see who I might be able to call a scumbag: 1. When I was at Pan Am, Eastern went on strike...

    No More ATA At Capital

    I did not mean to say that the pilots in the DC-10 program were the ones who did not perform as they should have. I guess I should have been more clear and I am sure that CaptSeth is more knowledgable about the particulars in the DC10 program than I am. My understanding is that the DC-10s...

    No More ATA At Capital

    Pissedoff's original post stated that because the new Chief Pilot chose a junior 727 captain, who by the way has lots of 757 and international experience, to help him get the 757 program up and running, that Capital would no longer give preference to ATA pilots. I don't see how he comes to that...

    How is Life at Gojets?

    How does Compass turn a 12 month training contract into 15? Well, they don't start the timing until after you finish IOE. On the first day of employment they bring you in for a one day orientation. You are responsible for getting to MSP on your own. They will not provide a ticket on...

    How is Life at Gojets?

    Wow, I thought I was asking a simple, noncontroversial question. As I said I was totally ignorant about Gojets when I heard about the open house (I was an hour late and missed the entire presentation, all I got was the interview and an application). Without commenting upon any of the prior...

    How is Life at Gojets?

    I never heard of Gojets until my airline of the past 15 years went under. I'm trying to avoid going to India or China. Still recovering from the shock of it all. Seems the key is to avoid jobs with training contracts and then leave for the higher paying job. Make supply and demand curve a 2...

    How is Life at Gojets?

    I know practically nothing about Gojets. I was on my way to a flight physical at O'Hare and received a call that Gojets was there having an open house. I stopped in and they handed me an application and intereviewed me. That is why I am posting here. In other words, my ignorance makes the 2...

    How is Life at Gojets?

    I am awaiting class as a combo fo/ca. They say I should be a captain shortly after finishing training. The pay is ok to start and does not really concern me much. How many days per month do they work you? How many hours of credit do you get per month. Are there trip/duty regs? What are...

    How is Life at ATI?

    Thank you for the information. I've never flown an RJ or a turboprop, but the 737-800 was also prone to tail strikes. I've been lucky to accumulate 5000 hours of 737 tail free time, and lots more if you include the layovers! I understand they usually position you into the trips at the out...
