Brazilian carrier Gol managed to extend the deadline to negotiate leasing contracts for Boeing 737 jets leased by AerCap, according to documents sent to the New York Bankruptcy Court, where its judicial recovery process is taking place. Now the airline has another 30 days to try to reach an agreement with the Irish lessor, which leases 39 of its aircraft. At the same time, Gol has been harassed by other airlines looking for Boeing 737 pilots. Arajet, a new low-cost carrier from the Dominican Republic, went to Brazil looking to hire pilots and mechanics for the MAX model. According to the company, which has nine 737s in its fleet, more than one hundred applications were received.
