They DO NOT do background checks  or drug test until you get to St.Louis for training. So when they assign you a roommate,for approximately 6 weeks, you may have somebody who has psychological problems. Like I did. After about two weeks, she was released from the program. But in the meantime, I had no concentration on my studies for the class. They say on the first dt that they don't want to hear any complaints about roommates or the hotel. Oh and the hotel, they put you in this hotel far enough away from any decent restaraunt or just any kind of store. Only a gas station and a Hardee's. And allowed the shuttle to walmart 2 x a week for an hour.  Then you get to school, breaks all the time. But after the first full week, constant  tests. Got very stressful. Got though to the fourth week and was released from the program for not getting 80% or better on 3 of the 15 tests. Then when they go to release you, they call your name and say bring all your things. Don't give you any time to say good bye to the people you have spent weeks with instead of your own family. Those people become great friends and you become great supporters for each other. Then you feel bad and they take you in a room take everything they gave you from the first day and give you a post it note with your flight info and tell you that you are no longer a lower passed the front desk of the lobby and the shuttle will be there to pick you up. You get out of the hotel before the classmates get back from class so you don't see them again. HORRIBLE  way to treat human beings.

training was delightful. memories were made. fun times were had. if you are a student and like learning things you will enjoy training! its not easy, its not hard, its just a lot. cliques will form. mind your business and study.

get used to sleeping in odd places with strangers. a lot goes into a typical day. your days will be long. time management is critical. establish good habits. 

you will be poor at first. this is the type of place to get some experience and then move on. you will not make a career here as a flight attendant.

the hardest part of the job was being in the airport on 9/11 and sometimes dealing with passengers who compromised the safety of themselves and others. turbulence sometimes is unnerving.

some pilots are gross and will hit on you. some flight attendants are gross and will hit on you. management does not care. i feel like i had a good teacher but from what i heard that is usually not the norm. 

the most enjoyable part of the job was seeing new places and getting nice hotels.

crew room was dirty and depressing. other fas will steal your aprons.

I had a great time working at GoJet. Each person's experience is their own but mine was overall positive. At the end of the day my work ethic and work quality is what earned my respect. Sure it can help to be friends with management but what job isn't like that? Training was almost non existent from management but whenever they weren't busy with a top priority item, they helped me out in getting better at something. After I gained their trust I would be chosen to do more difficult tasks and would succeed and get quicker each time after. My peers were some of the coolest people I have ever had the chance to work with and were always the highlight of my day. I miss them all and the job as well. My family didn't want to relocate to STL so I had to leave after a year. I'll close in saying if you can make the best of it and are driven to be better than you were yesterday, you'll succeed. If not, go somewhere else. If you have an AP cert you can literally work almost anywhere in the world.

Working as a flight attendant is more of a lifestyle than a job. Your days are scheduled, but anything from weather to broken planes, or a sick crew member can change that in an instant. Providing front line customer service and safety is the majority of the job, but it is not always easy. Management works hard to make sure that you are prepared, but it is difficult for people who have not been flying recently to relate to the immediate experiences and situations that arise. They try, but often there is a disconnect between flight attendants on the line and upper level management. Keeping a smile on your face and a positive attitude is the hardest part of the job, especially on days when everything goes wrong and you get stuck with all the blame. However, it is a lot of fun to travel to different places, and get to spend time doing fun activities with your co-workers on layovers.

My experience has been great so far. Workload is decent, somedays are harder than others but to me it is averaged out well. My managers and leads will answers calls and texts within 24hrs and they are understanding (I have made mistakes before). 
It seems that there are only 1 or 2 very experienced people per shift so the total experience is kind of low with the new people. 
Work is 12 hr shifts from 7 to 7, Overtime is limited. Everyday is slightly different so you wont be completely repeating every workday.
We do not get night shift premiums
Overall I would recommend this company for A&P Mechanics. They pay based on experience so you can come in maxed out if you have a few years. This company is the second best paying regional behind endeavor airlines, my salary as a new mechanic with 0 years is 30/hr.
We are the only airline to fly the CRJ 550 which is really good since we dont touch the CRJ 200.

Training was rigorous, and at every point we were reminded that our next mistake could be what caused our dismissal.  It was a stepping stone job, nothing more.  It paid my student loans for 6 months, it gave me some good work experience, I learned a lot, worked with good pilots and flight attendants, and even enjoyed things about it, but that is all I gained. I hated the feeling of "big brother" always watching, always assessing, feeling terrified that at any moment, for any reason (also not given) I could be immediately terminated.  Probationary period was a whole year, far longer than most jobs.  It was stressful, sometimes to the point of causing anxiety as I've not known in other jobs.  Granted, I have not worked for other airlines.  Perhaps they're all this way, but it was miserable.  I did my best, but I guess they demanded inhuman perfection, which I cannot give-- which no one can give.  If someone wants to get into the airline business it might be a good starting point (if you can somehow make it through your first year), but I wouldn't actually recommend this company to anyone I cared for.

you go to the same couple places all the time. good for an airline where you are trying to get your foot thru the door into aviation for the flight attending industry. not good to stay long term. other than the ppl who have already been there since the beginning. your either old or ur new but there's no inbetween. no newbie stays to grow with this company. training was great and fun. longer than it was supposed to be but its fine. learned during this that they can get pretty unorganised but hey its hard to keep a small regional airline running I get it . The plane we fly is beautiful, I love her. The pilots were 9x out of 10 usually nice and easy to get along with. passengers are normally great, incompetent at times but nonetheless great. Being tired will happen. being annoyed at the schedules will happen. Newark airport being shiiddy all the time will definitely happen. But I cherish my experience and what I have learned. In the end.. I am glad to have part ways and will miss my time as a FA for gojet. but I sure as heck won't miss the management xoxo

Scheduling is terrible. Worst place I have ever worked at. The amount you get paid is a joke. I know for a fact I was getting more work than any of my classmates from training. Yes, I loved the job, but I also have a personal life. Scheduling needs to actually be fair and not use other people more than others. You go through so much during training to get paid so little. You pretty much can't have a life because you need to be available to them 24/7. If you're not senior then you have no say to how your schedule can look like as if you didn't have a personal life. I understand we need to be responsible with our jobs but we also have a personal life and not everything is about work. They will fire you for anything. I would get junior assigned all the time so they wouldn't even respect my schedule and there was nothing I could do. Do not recommend this place at all. The only good thing was the flight benefits. 

If I could give this company zero stars, I would. The turnover rate is unbelievable. If they don't like you or you're making too much, they will find a way to get rid of you, even if you're a great FA. They do not care about their employees one bit. Their employees are payroll numbers to them. They do not support unions and have a way of getting rid of anyone who does. They will push you to your rest requirement limits and any other federally regulated limitations. 

While you can move up very quickly and gain seniority to get the schedule you want, when it comes to junioring, seniority doesn't matter. It's whatever is convenient for them. 

The pilots and flight attendants who work there are generally pretty great people. That is one of the few redeeming qualities of this company. The other would be that you get to travel. But if you can find another company to fly for, apply with them.

If you love to travel , this is the perfect job for you. Your hotel are paid which means you can have your own room, use the gym in the hotel for free, and if the hotel offers free breakfast there you have it. The company will guide you through the training and it's a paid training. Your lodging and boarding are paid but you will pay your own food for 6 weeks while you're at the training headquarters. Nice thing about it also is that you won't work with the same person every day. You will only work with your crew in the entire trip which is 4 days then on your next trip you have different people to work with. The company offers, health benefit, 401k and dental too. If you like to see different places then its the job for you.
