New Bonus Program Takes Year One Total Compensation Up To $100,000 For Some Pilots

GoJet Airlines has announced a new bonus package to attract the best and brightest pilots to its team. Now with a $26,000 bonus for First Officers and a $15,000 bonus for Direct Entry Captains, newly hired pilots have the opportunity to earn an enhanced salary of up to $100,000 over the course of one year.

"GoJet pilots are some of the most qualified professionals in the industry," GoJet Chief Operating Officer Terry Basham said. "Our fast upgrades and air carrier experience match, paired with our competitive pay and fun atmosphere, make GoJet the best choice for top pilot candidates."

In addition to the new hire bonuses, GoJet is offering an additional $5,000 Air Carrier Experience Match for current and qualified pilots from any scheduled US or international air carrier. Pilots eligible for this program may carry over longevity from their previous carrier at a rate of 1 to 1, and are also eligible for up to six months of early seniority. First Officers eligible for this program will receive a total of $31,000 in new hire bonuses, taking potential first year compensation up to more than $75,000. Direct Entry Captains will receive a total of $20,000 in new hire bonuses, raising total year one compensation up to $100,000. Concurrently, helicopter pilots in GoJet's Rotor Transition Program will also receive up to $26,000 in fixed-wing training.

GoJet prides itself on offering a number of unique programs for airline professionals. GoJet's Direct Entry Captain Program allows qualified pilots to start as Captains, rather than First Officers, and is the only program of its kind in the industry. Additionally, GoJet is the only regional airline to offer a direct pathway to Spirit Airlines. This program offers selected pilots a position at Spirit in as little as two years, providing a defined career path and exceptional earning potential. GoJet also offers an array of programs specifically tailored towards military pilots, helicopter pilots, student pilots, and flight instructors. Once on property, GoJet pilots may also earn a $10,000 bonus for each successful pilot candidate they refer to the company.

"We are so pleased with all of our enhanced bonus and training programs," Basham said. "With our unique partnerships, pilots who launch their careers with us could land their dream jobs in record time."

The programs are effective immediately.
