GoJet Questions

[laserman2431]

GoJet rocks. I'm furloughed from a major airline. I went to GoJet in January. I got off IOE in April and had a line in May with 15 days off. I'm looking at an upgrade in Aug or Sept. And I get to work and live in the United States. The pay's comparable, the planes work good and most of the other pilots ar cool. I have a recall number and I don't give a shlt what anyone else thinks. I have health insurance for my family and I'm staying current. I get two paychecks a month. Also, most of the flight attendants are smokin' hot.

I'm still waiting for this "Major" airline you speak of.

I could care less what ur waiting on. If I say it, then u just say I'm lying. Anyway, its really obvious on this board who works for GoJet and who dosen't.

 

[flyboyzii]

Yes, I have openly stated many times that I work for GoJet not GoJet(s) Do I like this company.......no.......do I feel what the COMPANY, MGT and the initial pilots did was crappy??? Yes. But, if you think I am embarrased by working here you are sadly mistaken. This is an information board. It seems the "information" that you are spewing is flame bait and nothing more.

what?

Guppydriver,

I'm honestly interested to know what you think about CL's advice... Assuming you work for United, you no doubt were pulling at least 100k (unless you're a BRAND NEW HIRE at UA) per year. How could you go off to work every week in STL, see your 6 year old scarcely, make $h!t for money and get bent over the barrel work-rules wise just so you can keep calling yourself an airline pilot? Why not roll up your sleeves and get a job in landscaping, construction or other manual labor. I'd sure as hell take that option over going to work for GJ and incurring the spite and ill-will of most of the industry, as well as making it harder for me to look at myself in the mirror every morning.

Why are you so desperate to get a job in aviation that you'd lower yourself to working for GJ?

You know not of what you speak little tike. I was over being an airline pilot while you were still sucking on a bottle and trying not fall out of your crib. That job holds no glamor for me.

Guppy

PS 73x70x 12 doesn't come close 100k. I hope some day you gain the wisdom of perspective.

Who is the major?

Let me narrow it down a little for you. Its one of the companies you guys don't have jumpseat privledges with. Wait a minute, isn't that everybody?

 

[waka]

Um...say again?

GJ is not different than compass, republic, shuttle etc,

What's the big secret? Nobody cares that you work for Fedex, United or Kallita or wherever. The only thing I see on your info is the crappy brazilian jet 145.

Guppydriver,
I went to work for Gojet around the end of 2006, for the same reasons that you’re talking about. (Except I never did my research), I used to think that Gojet never hurt the industry… boy was I wrong, people care and always will. Did it hurt my chances to move on? NO. But do you really want that thought in the back of your mind every time you apply for a job. Best of luck in your decision, I hope something better come up for you.
Best of luck to you and your family,
Sword..

I find this interesting because I commute to work on different airlines and I still have crews asking me who GoJet is?? (mainly in the Northwest part of the country) Not many mind you...but some.This has been hammered so many times I think I'm just going to start cutting and pasting to save my fingers. The pilots at GoJet have done absolutly nothing wrong. Management made GoJet to get around the A/A scope clause. The pilots of TSA turned down the flying with alot of pushing from Dario and ALPA. The airline was going to be started with or without TSA pilots. The TSA pilots decided to listen to very bad advice and paid the price. I'm not reccomending anyone come here. This is Trans States Airlines with the same horrible Management, maintenance, schedules etc....it just says GoJet on the plane. Why anyone would stay at either airline longer than needed is beyond me.

I for one appreciate the info.

I can think of at least one former GJ pilot, initial cadre no less, who is now at Delta, so the major pilot hiring committes dont give a royal damn about where you came from.

Before GJ, he was at Chicago Express I believe. I was in GJ Dispatch, also Initial Cadre, and he sat behind me in systems class

 

[laserman2431]

I work at GoJet and so far, I don't have anything bad to say at all. If you are looking for a job, I would not let a few haters on here discourage you. Where else can you get a flying job in the United States? The pay is the same as everywhere else. The schedules aren't bad. And, the pilot group is made up of mostly furloughed guys from major airlines. I think anyone who would pass up the opportunity just because of some cranky dudes around here is a fool.
