Subject: Promoting GoJets jobs at ERAU

I am writing this email because I have recently learned the career services office has sent an email to students about prospective pilots jobs with GoJets. I am concerned that you and the general student body at Embry-Riddle is unaware of the bad reputation GoJets has generated for itself, and could lead to a disappointing career move for the students at Embry-Riddle.
As an alumni, and current pilot with Atlantic Southeast Airlines, I would not dare accept a job with GoJets. The airline is an offshoot of TSA, created to undercut the current pay-scales and work rules already established at TSA. This is an alarming trend in our industry that is pitting regional carriers against one another to cut pilot pay in the interest of "cost savings." What people don't understand, is that as a graduate of such an expensive school as Embry-Riddle, it is almost impossible to pay back school loans, and make rent and car payments on the limited income we make as junior pilots.
What's worse about GoJets, is that the pilots who are now working for them have been labeled as "scabs" since they undercut their union brothers at TSA. There is a list with their names, and they will have a very tough time getting jobs at any other 121 air carrier. Please do some further research into this important matter. I'm sure your office wants to provide our students with quality job opportunities and not just any job out there. As long as people keep getting fed into these "cut throat" carriers seniority lists, the industry will continue to fade. When the incomes at the airlines is so low that people won't even consider flying as a career, Embry-Riddle's flight department will be hurting to attract students to invest a large sum of money on their flight education.
Regards,
That's what I sent them.

An alumni to anlumni: I have flown for the Best and my experience spans the globe, you guys take the cake. You obviously speak with forked tounge or your anger has clouded your judgement. Not one of you Gojet haters have made any worthy truths to your claims. The same old tired dialouge. If I am coming out of college and looking for a solid career move Gojet makes every sense. Where else could I go and have a seniority number less than a hundred with additional growth projected for the forseeable future. I HAVE BEEN IN THE RECRUITMENT OFFICE AT DAL for many years and with out a doubt GOJET pilots will be treated with the same respect as anyone else and there is no LEGAL reason not to if you get my drift.
The irony is that GJ pays better at the low end than some ALPA carriers. And, the Teamsters haven't even started to get a contract together.
