Gojets "one of the best contracts"

[CX880]

Looking at aviationinterviews some guy who interviewed is saying that gojets has one of the best contracts. If that's so then how come no ones been talking about it, any gojets like to comment?

 

[BCpilot81]

If it is true, all that I can say is if you take a pile of $h1t, and dip it in gold, it is still that same pile

 

[relief tube]

half the guys that work there have thick accents and are working on fake green cards....maybee he's one of them. So relative to airline contracts in, say, Kazakstan (mispelled) Gojets is probably much better.

But relative to this country, it's one of the worst, on top of being as close as it gets to a SCAB.

 

[apache]

In the spirit of simplicity, they are scabs.

Why not take a look for yourself?

50% deadhead pay, they can extend any of your days making commuting a bitch.

 

[Traumahawk]

I don't think they have block or better, or at least didn't when they started up on a skeleton crew of airline washouts and TSA sellouts.

Enjoy the penalty box, thats where all of your careers ought to be.

It's sad they stain the name Lindberg. Some goatjets scab would have been waiting in Paris for him to land, thrown him into the mob of people and then climbed into the airplane and taken all the credit!!!

I actually turned down a contract to fly the CRJ in Kazakstan. It only paid FO's $6000/month which would have been a pay cut.

Oh yeah, Gojets sucks!!!

Hey, it wasn't said WHICH contract was the best. Maybe Gojets has the best ground handling contract around. Maybe. I'd bet if it was, it was better than the pilot contract.

C Line Guarantee

When the Company achieves a 98% completion factor for the month, a Pilot who
has been available for duty for the entire bid period shall receive the greater of
100% of his published final bid award line value or his actual flight time, adjusted​

for trip trades or drops.



SWEET!!! Can you pay me based on a high completion factor. That contract sucks monkey balls.

 

[bombinha]

Ok Guys MESA don't even have anything like completion factor. Also it's only 8 days off minimum and at GoJet is 10 for reserve guys.
First year pay either as an FO or Capt. GoJet pays more than Mesa, Pinacle, Colgan, Great Lakes, to name few regionals.
Also Comute clause. GoJet has it most of the regionals don't even think about missing a flight or you'll be on the street.
You know what I am tired of people bashing something they don't even know.

Bombinha

commuter clause .. dude. stop talking you have no idea what you are talking about

who doesn't have a commuter clause, ahh to name a few that do...

Mesaba, Air Willy, Piedmont, PSA, Express Jet, Republic, Comair. hmm so shut the hell up a company like gojets hurts EVERYTHING, the simple pay scale means nada, i would think you would know that, i would think you would look at more of the contract that just pay scale

 

[Foxcow]

A contract so great that they have pilots beating down their door to work there. The contract over at goatjet isn't worth the dot matrix printer paper that its written on.

First of all I know for sure that Colgan and Great Lakes shouldn't be in this list because they fly turboprops and Colgan (at least when I was there) had pay rates that were in line with most companies that flew the same equipment the 1900. Does Pinnacle even fly CRJ 700s?? If not then they don't belong on the list either. Mesa does fly 700s but it is a known fact that Mesa sucks so being better than them does not really mean anything. How do the Gojet rates look compared to other CRJ 700 operators out there?? I'm too lazy to look but I know that what was offered when they started up they were well below other 700 pay rates so yes the contract still sucks.

Their rates are comparable to 50 seat rates a couple of years ago.

 

[ILOVEBEER]

I work at GoJets and I think the contract/lifestyle is great. I don't know why everyone gives us such a hard time.

 

[andyd]

apparently the HR depts at the majors don't care either. there was a go-jets guy in my class at DAL, i've heard that there was 2 in the last NWA class and 1 in the last UAL class (i may have the last 2 transposed). Go Jets pilots of past (pre-union and pre-conctract guys/gals) are the ones you could relate closest to a scab in MY opinion. The current Go Jet pilot group......the ones hired post union/contract are NO different than any other regional pilot trying to get the first job, get the upgrade and get the pic to move on someday. At least they are unionized at this point.....if there's any fingerpointing to be doing over pilots flying non-union and taking union flying away then direct your attention to Colgan or Skywest (again the majors don't give a rip....1/3 of my dal class was skywest!)...they were given the choice of a union and turned it down. mistake in my opinion and one that will come to bite them in the ass in the future. again..all of the above is MY opinion and nothing more, but MAYBE we should lay off the go jet guys....

You're entitled to your opinion, but.....they still suck.

I'm sure the pilots will get jobs at bigger&better places, but plenty of people will remember GoJets as just another airline on the list of alter-ego carriers (and no, TSA was never an alter-ego).

The way you girls throw around the word scab, you clearly don't even know the meaning. When I crossed at United and Continental at least I deserved to be called a scab. You don't know sh!t junior...

Perhaps you prefer the word "neoscab" to reflect the changing labor-busting tactics of our age. But the age-old nature of the scab remains the same. It must be difficult going through life with your ID turned around to hide your shame.

You want to point the finger at Skyw, but not the Hojet pilots that took a job at a carrier that was only established to allow Hulas to stab the pilots at TSA in the back?


Did you really manage to pass the psych eval for DAL, or are you still at Gulfstream?

 

[rjacobs]

There contract is based on the POS that TSA has had since 2000. Way to raise the bar by basically taking a ********************ty contract, getting a commuter clause(does you no good when nobody will let you on) added into it, and calling it done. No CX pay till 98% completion factor, you all will never have 98% completion factor, hulas will make sure of that by CX flights on purpose.

 

[Foxcow]

Except at TSA we get 95% line guarantee and block or better per segment/leg. Plus over at goatjet its a 5 and a half year agreement for that POS contract.

 

[rjacobs]

Yea that sounds right, I couldnt quite remember exactly what it said. So even a contract that is a few years old is better than this POS that GJ signed in.

 

[MINIME]

Oh! So you've had experience in taking jobs at the expense of others before? Whether you did or didn't in your past, your current airline is as close to a scab airline as one can be in today's industry.

People who claim this not to be a problem, are either missinformed or are part of the defeatist attitude that is widespread amongst us.

OK, when you try to flamebait you gotta clean up your past posts....You live in SoCal and work for Skywest.

Possibly quit Skywest and looking for contract flying on the side, but still live in SoCal.

You might be bitter against regional flying so you like to throw mud against the wall to see if it sticks.

Close?????

 

[ILOVEBEER]

Pretty close Simon. However I do not work for SkyWest any longer and no, I am not resentful. I left the industry before I could hate my job. I think all the name calling is funny though.

Scab groupie? You are definitely a troubled person.
