You wouldn't have ever had a job if it weren't for Eagle giving you 10 planes in the first place. Planes/bases come and go, its part of the job. That is why you don't work for a crappy company......As a former TSA pilot I hope for the best for all those affected but the grass is greener everywhere else, this is a blessing in disguise.

If TSA is the worst you've had you have no idea. Sorry.

nobody here at AE is rejoicing because your job goes bye bye. Nobody with a soul would ever rejoice for anyone being out of work, especially a fellow pilot as it could be any of us at any time.

Those planes were always AE aircraft which were leased to you guys.....it's a victory for us to get em back on the AE property.

Hey B-man,
We're not rejoicing at your expense. But those are our airplanes.
It is what it is.
Good luck to you.

Jeff, Smartass, djsk you all ought to have your head examined thinking we got furloughed because of GJ. I'm pretty sure my fulough notice didn't say anything about GJ. Also it's kind of ironic that the place tha took "away" jobs is hiring every furloughed pilot out there and that the avrag GJ application has 4000 hours of 121 time. Please get your facts straigh about GJ, nobdy crossed any pickt line, they are union, have a contact and have equal or better CRJ rates.

The problem with GoJets is the way they came about and the fact they lowered the bar for everyone other regional to follow in the 70-90 seat market.
If I worked for a 50 seat regional still I would start looking at getting out of the airline world as life is going to suck for some time to come. At this point the 50 seater is just to expensive to operate.

I understand that a non-union start up, get's most of us pissed off. However they became union, got better pay/contract and are growing. I don't get how that lowered the bar for everyone. And by the way the standard was the same pre GJ so not sure if it matters anyways.

Those original TSA guys that switched sides maybe A holes for abandoning their pilot group but it wasn't anything like crossing a picket line. As far as the other guys from the streets not sure if you can call them scum they're just getting a flying job.

Wow,

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about regarding GoJet. The GoJet issue has been discussed in detail (understatement) on this forum, so educate yourself before you try to drum up sympathy for GoJet and the pilots that work there.

Dude I fly for TSA, I think I've educated myself enough about GJ. That's it for me I'll step out this.

If you don't get how they lowered the bar you have no idea how contracts are negotiated or what influences arbitrator decisions.

Ummm, Dude? I fly for TSA and I was flying there when the whole GJ situation started. Judging by your posts, you need to educate yourself a little bit more. Also, I can't believe that you're a TSA pilot and you're trying to get people to support for GJ. WTF?? If you're getting furloughed from TSA, then I feel for you. I just hope that if you are in fact getting furloughed, that you're not considering heading over to GJ.
