For newhires at JetBlue who care about the GoJet fiasco

[brainhurts]

What is "Go Jets" and what does "pensive" mean?

There will be a GoJetter, one of the ones who walked from TransStates to GoJet in the beginning, in an upcoming class. Keep an eye out for him and treat him as he deserves.

For those who could care less about GoJet and TSA please ignore this post. This post is not intended to be flame bate, so please refrain. I simply want this guy punished in any way possible.

Here is one of his recent posts on APC:

I would strongly suggest that as a new hire you do not condemn/criticize anyone at JetBlue. Management folks are listening everywhere & perceptions can be taken the wrong way.

Someone was dismissed recently for conterversal comments.

Dear JetBlue new-hires,
Please leave your union pi$$ing matches at the door when you show up for class @ OSC. Let it go man....just let it go...

Hey wonderful, a practice scab. How delightful.

Isn't Jetblue trying to get a union on property? If Jetblue gets bought or merged, do you think that 5 year contract will save you?

Seriously?

GoJets
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoJet_Airlines
An alter-ego carrier set up by Trans States Airlines. Pilots not on TSA seniority list, pulled willing, self-serving volunteers from outside the company and across the TSA seniority list and put them in the left seat of a shiny new jet at the expense of TSA ALPA pilots.

pensive
adjective1. deeply or seriously thoughtful; "Byron lives on not only in his poetry, but also in his creation of the 'Byronic hero' - the persona of a brooding melancholy young man"; [syn: brooding] 2. showing pensive sadness; "the sensitive and wistful response of a poet to the gentler phases of beauty"

No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. Oh, yeah I never worked at TSA either.

It's August now - how did your GoJet Captain upgrade go last month?

Oh, BTW, how is your progess in becoming a fighter pilot going?

Hey guys, I am going to apply to AFROTC next Fall and need some advice on how to suceed in ROTC and pilot training. What did you major in?, How much participation?? I am pretty sure that I will get a pilot slot with my hours, grades, and test scores so what next? How did you suceed and achieve a fighter out pilot training?? Considering where you are at, I figure fighter guys would have the best advice on how to suceed in pilot training. How did you do it?? Thanks guys!!

Ok Tell me why anyone at Jetblue should care. First off there are Alot of ex ACA'er over there and those are the same guys YOU not GoJets put out of Jobs by Low balling Us during the UAL Ex contract Re negotiations along with Mesa Shuttle America and Skywest. Why was it Ok for TSA pilots to Low ball another Alpa Pilot group. But its not OK for Gojets to lower the Bar even farther for another Bottom Feeder TSA.

I don't always see things eye to eye with Jetblue pilots but man I hope you run into some ex ACA'er and tell them your story I'm sure they'll all give you a shoulder to cry on.

Do you understand the difference between employed and unemployed? Because it is a huge difference. Put aside the mergers and all the jetblue pilots taking recall to AA,USAir,UAL,NWA,etc, and there are MANY - you DO understand the difference
between employed and unemployed?
Right?
So given that very important distinction, can you please explain how these recalls would be employed without an ALPA contract and would you please explain how the Jetblue pilots hope to remain employed without a union contract. I don't care about seniority list - I'm just talking about keeping your job.
And if these Jetblue pilots become unemployed through a merger with a union airline, will you come here an support your wise comments?
Will you back your speculation?
Or will you say, "that's how it goes in the airline industry. You shouldn't have given two shts about what I said anyway.?"

Actually I'm moving on to other things and another company....a big company that flies BIG jets. I won't elaborate anymore because I'm not in training yet.
But, it is around the corner!

Oh, BTW, how is your progess in becoming a fighter pilot going?

I decided not to go down that road. Too much of a pain and frankly I hated marching around...Left Right Left. Yes sir no sir blah blah blah. Getting up at 430 AM and marching around a square and eating your breakfast in 7 minutes. How stupid is that? Frankly it's not worth it to fly a Fighting Falcon and have to put up with that stuff. More power to you t hough.:laugh:
