I have to disagree, based on my own experience. I've seen a Gojet guy get denied, and a couple others have posted seeing the same. I also had a gate agent recently go on a full-on rant about Gojet's performance (in particular, cancelations.) That day, we picked up a completely full turn that they canceled. She was saying that it was typical and she hoped DL would cancel their contract due to poor performance. I stood there wide-eyed in disbelief that she would talk like that in front of passengers. Also was glad that I wasn't a Gojet guy looking for a ride...
I have no ill will toward the pilots as I understand they have nothing to do with boardroom decisions or whether or not to cancel. But those that choose to go there should understand the proverbial snake pit that awaits.

Ummmm....no its not. Ive denied a few GJ guys out of ORD before and I know of a lot more Captains who do the same thing. And I'm going to keep denying them over and over again.

But keep spouting off nonsense.

No, they don't. But they do have "hiring consultants" from other regionals who help make decisions - just making sure a "5 percenter" doesn't slip through the cracks. I know for a fact that TSA has these guys at CAL, DAL and JBL.

Right.. Don't hire him! He's a gojets pilot!

Get real, majors and HR don't care. I know gojet pilots who have been hired at Delta and Fedex. It's all based on experience, qualifications, and internal recs.

Any person on a hiring board that discriminates against a candidate based on where they worked should not be in that position, period.

So, you've "seen a guy" get denied and seen a couple of other posts. My brother flew for GJ for just over 2 years, commuted all the time and was never denied. I also have a close friend that flew for them and commuted....never denied. Neither one of them had even heard of other GJ pilots being denied, so I don't buy it.

Ummmm....no. See above. As for you denying and supposedly knowing other Captains denying GJ pilots jumpseats, all I can say is that the lunatic fringe doesn't count.

However, your opinion is duly noted.
