Wings of Excellence: First Officer Justin Polen

December 13, 2023

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.


Celebrating Justin’s Achievements

It is with immense pride that we recognize First Officer Justin Polen with the Wings of Excellence award. His dedication to safety, skillful piloting, and respect for everyone he interacts with embody the values we hold at GoJet Airlines.

Justin, your passion for aviation and your commitment to creating a positive experience for passengers and crew alike are what make GoJet exceptional.


Please join us in congratulating Justin on this well-deserved honor. Stories like his remind us of the incredible people who make up the GoJet Airlines family.

Thank you, Justin, for your dedication, professionalism, and for setting such a high standard. You inspire us all to keep soaring higher! ✈️

Do you know someone who consistently goes above and beyond? We encourage all team members to share their nominations so we can continue to celebrate the individuals who make a difference.
