At GoJet Airlines, we believe in celebrating employees who go above and beyond in their dedication, professionalism, and passion for their work. Today, through our Wings of Excellence program, we are thrilled to honor First Officer Justin Polen, whose outstanding contributions have left a lasting impact on both colleagues and passengers alike.
A Nomination That Speaks Volumes
Justin’s nomination came from Flight Attendant Maria Schnibben, who couldn’t praise him enough for his positive attitude, leadership, and commitment to safety.
“Everyone I know who has worked with Justin says the same thing, including myself: He loves what he does and pays close attention to every safety detail. He makes a stranger feel like a friend and is always kind and respectful—whether it’s to rampers, gate agents, cleaners, or even restaurant workers at the airport,” Maria shared.
Justin’s influence extends beyond the cockpit. Maria noted his ability to create a cheerful, collaborative atmosphere while remaining deeply committed to his role:
“He makes everyone happy and laugh, all while taking his job very seriously and being in command. Justin is 100% devoted to safety first. He flies and lands the plane with incredible skill. I’m honored to nominate him for the Wings of Excellence award.”
Justin exemplifies what makes GoJet Airlines special. His approachable demeanor and respect for every team member—whether they’re on the ground or in the air—make him a role model to colleagues and an asset to our passengers’ experience.
His ability to balance a warm, positive attitude with a serious focus on safety and operational excellence inspires those around him to bring their best to every flight.
