well yes and no.

They will do this till they need street pilots, which should be fairly soon, but at that point it will only be CAL doing the hiring.

If United needs pilot on their side, they still have like 1400 on furlough, that would be recalled back to UAL, its a complicated issue, but it would be a long time till UAL side hires.

Eventually both sides will be one list, but I would betcha its hiring in houston with the same CAL guys.

I dont think any gojet/UAL recalls will be on hiring at UALCAL anytime soon.

A large majority of UAL furloughs that were at GoJet are either already at CAL or will be starting class shortly.

Pros
-GoJet has the quickest upgrade and probably will remain number one for another year while the DCI flying increases.

Cons
-The current GoJet pay rates are close to average, but the GoJet pilot contract is probably the worst among regionals and it will probably be a long time until GoJet gets a new contract.

Con most other airline employees will hate you, you may face trouble jumpseating, you will get bad looks, and your resume will have a big turd stain on it. Also you will be a slut.

Why hate Gojets? Because TSA owner Hulas Kanodia told TSA ALPA he wants 70 seaters for X rate, and TSA ALPA told him to go pound sand, and he said, "Ok, I will!" and formed GoJets? I wouldn't exactly blame a TSA ALPA negotiation failure on GoJet's current pilots. Lets get over it. Your anger should be re-directed to ALPA for attempting to fight with zero leverage, and then getting screwed as a result.
