The premise of GJ is no different than any other regional, it's created to undercut, period. I work at a "good" regional and I'm willing to accept the fact it was created to lower the bar. I suppose people need to bash someone to make themselves feel better about where they are. We are not any superior, we're all sharing the bottom of the barrel, no matter how much you wish it ain't so. You are awfully opinionated for only being hired on with a regional what, 6 months ago.

Gojet Airlines, I work for Gojet and it is the best thing I have done yet. I used to work for Comair and at first I thought it was the best thing I had done but after being at Gojet I see how much time I wasted at Comair. I circled the drain at Comair and almost got flushed but I got out of the bowl before that happened.
Gojet is not perfect and it is a regional and as one poster said a long time ago on here "there is no such thing as a good regional". Gojet believe it or not is a good bunch of people and they have the best positive attitude I have seen yet. At Comair it was always a battle with scheduling and always being screwed somehow. Here so far everyone is so pro-active it is a 180 from what I was used to. I actually call scheduling to see if there is anything I can do for them. (yeh surprised me too)
I never back stabbed anyone to take this job, I am not a scab. I never crossed a picket line or flew struck work. Heck Alpa sent the United guys here does that make them scabs too? I am just trying to get ahead and anyone that says I will not be able to get a job later on is so full of BS. I learned all of this is BS when one day I was DH on Freedom when I was at Comair, plane was full so I volunteered to JS to get a pax on. Turns out the Captain had less than 2500 hours and the FO had 600 hours. Here I was at OH with 7000 hours. (dual rated) *** did I do wrong? At that point I learned I am out for me in this cut throat world. I can stand on my soap box only so long before the bills need paying.
Gojet is a good place, it is small and everyone knows your name. The training is good and the checkride is not easy. The aircraft are good the flight attendants are hot and the schedule is for the most part very productive. The pay is regional pay not the best and not the least. Upgrade time well who knows last Captain I flew with had been here 9 months.
When I was at Comair all we ever heard was "Delta wants to get rid of the 50 seaters" Well Gojet has no 50's, CRJ700's only! When you look at all the other DCI carriers look at their fleet.
Now as far as all these guys saying "oooh if I find out your are a Gojet pilot I will not let you on my jumpseat!" Horse Hockey! Never been turned down yet and if someone did turn me down well guess what when I turn down someone from their company and they ask why I will say well go ask your buddy Captain XXXXX he turned me down. All these posters on here that spew that trash are just that, trash they are just ****ed off chair flyers.
Ok now I have said everything good about Gojet, I will include some bad. They as of now do not pay for your hotel while in training. That can be pretty tough if you do not have money in the bank. Cost me about $2000 while I was in training but you can do it cheaper and a lot of guys did. My accountant will have a field day with my expenses but in the long run I am still out my money. It can be done for less there is the Pilot Projects which charge $70 a week I think.
If anyone is considering Gojet as an employer do not hesitate to PM me for a phone number to answer your questions. I AM VERY HAPPY I AM HERE AND IT WAS A GOOD DECISION FOR ME!

Are you being serious?!?!?! Please tell me who pays less than GoJets to fly the CRJ700? I have now lost my respect for you as a former Comair brother. Can you remember why you went to Comair in the first place?
