10 CR7s for Gojets?

Disgusting. Very sad this airline even exists. A cancer that needs to be removed from the industry. Shame on all that apply to work there, no matter the circumstances.

12500+ TT, an ATR type & CRJ200 type..... That says it all.

Don't care necessarily about the seat, the power or the money (or lack thereof)

There is the problem with the profession in a nutshell. As long as the game practically requires 121 turbine PIC to get the most desirable jobs, there will be pilots willing to do anything to get said prerequisite. 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.

Don't get me wrong. As a fellow 6+ year FO with little hope for upgrade I fully understand the temptation to just say **** it and bail for CQFO at G7. However I've seen too many people get burned trying to chase a quick upgrade and don't want to contribute to this profession's downfall unless my hand is forced.

There are many good people at G7 whose hands were forced, and I wish any ComAir folks who follow their airplanes to G7 good luck.

I share your distaste for GoJet, but that is easy to say when you aren't scrambling to find a way to put food on your kids' table.

 

[No Delay]

Tend to agree with central on this one...

Sure, if given the "choice" I would hope a person would go somewhere better. But there are not that many choices out there right now.

I am all for making this profession better...but not at the expense of my wife and kids. I would NEVER dis on a man for trying to feed his family!

I hope all the Comair guys can find a job quickly and then move on to better when given the opportunity.

General,
Being stuck at a regional for what seems to be too long, I can only focus my attention now on the fact that all you guys who allowed regional jets to steal your flying in the first place are at fault for this whole debacle. It doesn't matter who is flying them or whatever.

And the genital knows this, and with that he is just "giddy with excitement".

Nothing better for him than the demise of the regional sector!

I don't get it, first people say "take back the flying, mainline!" And then when mainline takes it back, "now it's the demise of the regional sector!"

Can't take it back without hurting at least a few regional players...

I think the problem is they didn't really take it back and just accelerated the killing of the regionals.

1. Majors shouldn't have caved on letting regionals take over in the first place.
2. Majors shouldn't have caved on scope time and time again (most recently in the recent delta agreement right?)
3. Majors and General should, at the very minimum, not gloat when their companies send big planes (or any planes) to the lowest cost carrier. All that does is pull it further away from mainline. At least when it ends up at a decent regional you know the captains are making decent money.

Stop caving on scope. Stop gloating about the ongoing effect of your past mistakes.

I'd respect him.

I know the whole TSA/GoJet story. I'd agree with your statement if GoJet was just formed and nothing has taken place since 2006... and even then, there was no strike, just a disagreement over scope of the contract.

6 years later, some of you are acting like bitter divorcees... move on already. However, if you're hellbent on 'protecting the profession' and dissuading people from applying to GoJet, I suggest you start a fund for those who just lost their jobs at Comair, offer to pay their mortgages, insurance, put food on the table, etc. just as long as they don't go to GoJet.

Easiest thing in the world is to hide behind an Internet screen name and pontificate over what/where someone should go to put food on the table.

Well said, and I agree.

EXACTLY!! Coming from someone who thinks that a regional airline is a career.:laugh:
