10 CR7s for Gojets?

[General Lee]

geez, another wasted 10 minutes of my life reading responses from a GenLee started post. Such boring banter. General Lee, go back to the Major forums where you belong. Fck, you're such a tool.

Waste of time? Sorry Einstein, go back to reading the encyclopedia....

Bye Bye---General Lee

Hmmm, I would agree if the 200's were't already being axed. Also, a 717 replacing a 200 makes no sense. Are they going to fly the 717 to Pellston, Aberdeen, and Alpena? Delta was going to get the 717's either way as well. Taking it back means either allowing no more larger aircraft at regionals, or even better, scoping out 76 seaters all together. There was nothing done to "take it back". What in the contract allowed the company to get 717's that would not have allowed them to get them if it wasn't passed? Maybe I am missing something.

Never flown into Aberdeen but we did fly DC 9 s into Pellston Alpena
and the Soo for that matter for a long time.

The problem wasn't 50 seaters going to Brainard or Aberdeen, the problem is 50 seaters going to Nashville or Pittsburgh. Put them up against any other larger LCC plane, and you lose. 50 seaters to Bemidji are fine.

Whatever you do don't work for GoJet, because if you do the people on the interweb won't like you anymore, and nobody wants that.

 

[CLR2LND]

As long as the regionals are constantly whipsawed against each other wages will be continually depressed and high seniority airlines will easily be replaced by startups who have to start contract bargaining over from square 1.

Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!
There are a couple of regional startups who have already put deposits down
on new CRJ900/1000 aircraft...Theres blood in the water and the sharks are circling

FO 4 Life,
No I did not pay for my training. I use this web name to p1$$ off an express jet pilot name Ben Franklin. Sounds childish but when you are stuck in a crash pad with 20" of snow on the ground it provides some daily entertainment. Please remember I've had this name for 10 years, maybe?

My point and I think ptp agreed, the regionals are not a place to retire from. Guys get confortable with their schedule and their movitation to get a more secure job declines. I can understand how that happens, you bust it for 6-8 years on reserves and you get some seniority and before you know it, your stuck, confortable and have a family. Then one day some greedy person decides to trash your company so he can get a better car / boat. It's not fair, greed always wins out and pilots forget that. As for the Comair people, my heart goes out to them. I've been in their shoes and it suck. Some of them will come out of this better. They will make a quick jump to a fast growing regional, get their time and put all this ugliness behind them. Others will let pride get in the way & never get over the hate that consumes them. I wish things were different. I wish fairness had not died. As for Mr. 12500+ ATR/CRJ200 he is person consumed with pride & hate. I bet he has 20 years at Comair. I bet he has not updated his logbook in 15 years. He has a long road ahead of him & he's bitter about losing his job. I was too but as soon as I realized I needed another job, each day got better. I wish him the best. Sorry for the metrosexual soapbox forum. Let the childish remarks continue.

 

[FO 4 Life]

PFTEXPJET,

Sorry I didn't see it was from someone else.

As far as Mr 12500, ATR, CRJ. The only place I can think of that had that combo is ASA. I could look down my nose at those guys (Comair, Pinnacle, Chatauqua, Express Jet, etc.) because they were all PFT but I don't.

It sucks for Comair, but Delta was giving those jets to someone. Why not raise Cain over Skywest getting more jets? They originally flew the 70 for 50 seat rates.

Did the TSA guys get hosed? Sure. It was their own doing. They were given 10 ERJs from Eagle to do the AX flying. Hulas wanted bigger jets but couldn't put them on the same certificate due to APA scope (look at CHQ, they bought other airlines to put the 70s on. There aren't anything but 50s due to APA scope). There had to be a separate certificate to do it, but the TSA guys screwed themselves on the one list deal.

Former Eagle guy. Shocking I know.

 

[PBRstreetgang]

30 more MD90s will be replacing the 17 DC9s. The 88 717s are supposedly pure growth.

Enjoy LBB, just dip around the roach back stroking in your salsa.

I'm going to bid the 737-900ER, so doubtful LBB will be in my future. DL is getting 100 737-900ERs starting soon. Thanks for your great wishes, though. Enjoy DL Connection, I mean United Express, I mean USAir Express, I mean Air Tran Connect, I mean FedEx Connect? Whatever is next.....Spirit Connect maybe?

The funniest part in all of this is that the overwhelming majority of the flying public thinks they're flying on Delta when they step on to the seedy confines of Gojet's latest acquisition. Don't be too proud there General, to the public, the regional pilots that have your airline's name on the side, are one and the same. So quit bashing 'your own'...

I rarely visit FI as its fairly juvenile after the first page. I had noticed a change in GL however, for the good. Gone were the insults, in was at least some degree of thought. That might have been a fleeting phase however.

All that said, I'll go to work tomorrow and be as informed as any of you arguing either side of the argument, which is to say I don't know Delta, SkyWest or United has in the works. Neither do any of you.

 

[777forever]

I see no insult. Someone told him to enjoy LBB, which clearly was an insult since mainline doesn't fly to LBB and General insulted him right back. Oh no the General insulted us regional pilots! This is FI fellas, stop being so sensitive.....

Since Genny put me on ignore, he has been distant, almost missing. Maybe he is pounding the plastic Mrs Lee, and wondering why we are so mean. I think that the concerted effort of me and Box Office wore him out and he had to go back to his moms basement. The only 737-900 he will be flying in is on MS Flight Sim.

I wonder if I quote you, if it will show up for Lee?:beer:

Anybody else watch Big Bang Theory, I get the distinct impression that the Genny is like Howard Wollawitz and his mom, the real Mrs Lee!
Too easy....

yes it will. I put Herpes Lee on ignore LONG ago and the only time I have the displeasure of reading his vapid and juvenile posts is when he is quoted by others. It's like Medusa, by the time I realize it's his quote, its too late for me to look away.

It’s amazing. I have been out of the 121 world for some time now. And still the constant gripes and complaints over others at Go Jets etc. You want to change the industry get off your asses and risk your job to change, get into management and improve your QOL for the airline, set a new precedent. Don't blame the guy that needs to pay his bills. For you are so righteous to cast blame on those that need/want a job. Easier targets from those that don’t care to consider the entire business cycle of the airlines are always the peers at the “other airline.” They, the operators are not the problem. The industry is the problem. Try coming together to fix it. Stop perpetuating making other crew members your enemy cause you don’t like the operating model of an another airline.

I love how certain people think since they fly for a “good” company and that they can stand tall and say that they created the best airline and others like Go jets “suck” and demoralize the industry. Truth of the matter is you are in fact not the genius behind your company. You are in fact the cog of many in a wheel that makes the company rich and successful. So know your role and place in your job and go after the execs of those companies that hack away at our passion and love of flying, sustainment of living and sense of brotherhood. Change starts with smart ideas spoken from those willing to subject themselves to risk in hopes of finding fortune.

Go to Gojet if you want. It's not that bad, but could be better. Training could be better. Each check airman has their own pet peeve items to prove that they know more than you. Which is real stupid since, if something breaks you write it up, call mx, and no matter how much you do or don't know about the system you just wrote up, you will never be involved with fixing it. I'd rather see more emphasis put on your thought process with emergencies, not have a pissing contest over a system on the plane with a check airman with a fat ego. And if they take a disliking to you, it's almost impossible to pass a check ride. Hopefully that will change when the new training system is in place. With that said, study hard, know what your supposed to know. Know the profiles forward and backwards, and you'll do fine in the sim.
I was told when I got hired that they want this to be your temporary home to gain experience so you can move on to bigger and better things. So, It was a good move for me because I needed this on my resume and they were hiring when I was looking.
I don't care how Gojet came about or the about the attitude some have towards them. It worked for me when I needed.

You need it on your resume...and I need to you take your crap and roll it back up the jetway and back into the concourse if you want to sit on my jumpseat. When you get back up there, you can resume walking around with your ID backwards, like every single one of your co-workers I have seen recently.

Temporary home???? Serious? That's "lipstick on a pig", which loosely translated, means "you have no value to us as a longterm pilot, what so ever". I can't wait to see how the "get in, get out quick" mentality works for them when this 1500 total time gig spools up. The only thing I dread more than anything else, is knowing that the other regionals will be further stretched in staffing after they pick up GoJet's debacle and botched staffing issues for DCI.
