Classy GoJet Pilots

[Ezralite]

Damn...I feel bad for the Pinnacle crew.

pwnd!

How about the Gojet crew that waited 20 minutes for the Pinnacle crew in ORF the other day? I know because I was in that crew and we waited for the Pinnacle crew that landed right behind us.

What would have been awesome is if the Pinnacle crew showed up after you waited 20 minutes and they said "No thanks, we'll take the next one."

I heard GoJet waited till a TSA pilot group took a stand to Hulas - and then took the VAN because it was a way to "feed their family"...........

Nothing can suck like crews and the hotel van!

Last week the desk got a call while we were checking in from a crew behind us whining that they were waiting for the van. It's a FOUR MINUTE ride to the hotel and they didn't even have a ramp positioned as we walked out to the curb. They had sent a minivan so I said let's go instead of waiting trying pack six and all of our crap. The following CA might have stood there two minutes max before he called to cry as the van came back around the corner. Dude...that's why we don't party too often together.

I once had a crew land right in front of me and when we hit the curb the van was gone! In this case it's 20 minutes to the hotel and then twenty minutes back! After taking in the ocean breaze for better part of an hour, I looked the sign in sheet over as they have our room keys in the van so we can bypass the front desk. I'm sure the other CA had messed up on his 0430 wake-up call with the time zone change and all so I made a small correction for him, much to the delight of the driver

(edit: This was all "in the family" and not with other companies. )

Who really cares.

Who really cares.

I could not agree with you more!

There are good people and bad people everywhere.... and sometimes the perception of a situation gets all bent out of shape due to context....

Serioulsy... what a bunch of whiners... no wonder managment has a hay day with pilots. If people want to be paid as professionals, its time to behave as such.

Yeah, who gives a shot? Let's keep it to the main point here. GoJet sucks.

Seconded.

 

[Skaff]

Yeah, Go Jet pilots suck!

 

[siucavflight]

I think that we can all agree that go-jets sucks, but it has nothing to do with a van ride.

 

[Flyer1015]

Replace "GoJets" with "[any other airline]" and the same can hold true when it comes to hotel van rides.

With all that is going on in aviation, this is what REALLY bothers people. For the love of all that's good... relax. Sometimes your the bug, sometimes your the windshied.

This is not flame bait, but a true story. Our crew was overnighting in PWM this past Monday. We called the hotel and asked for the van as we were leaving the airplane. The hotel said the van was on it's way. As we walked out, the van pulled away with a GoJet crew and left us. We called the hotel and the hotel was not aware that the GoJet crew was there as well. We called the hotel and they told the van driver to turn around and get us, the GoJet crew threw a fit and demanded the van driver take them to the hotel since it was only a two mile drive and they left the airport. The van driver complied and we had to wait for the van to turn around and come back for us. The GoJet crew did not call the hotel, they just assumed (and we know what assumed does) the van was strictly for them.
Go figure

That could have happened to any crew.....and if it's only a 2 mile drive, then no big deal.

But in an attempt to never defend Gojets pilots personally, I must end by saying GoJets is a scumbag outfit full of a bunch of spineless dbags. So there.

 

[vectorvictor]

Geez no flamebait huh? How do you know that GJ pilots threw a fit, and it's usually the FAs not the pilots that usually get anal about van rides. I have never ever been on a van ride that had to turn around after another crew called for it, even for a company crew. Get real. Wait your 2 minutes, it's first come first serve.

What you do on your overnights doesn't really belong in this forum.

TSA will strike and fold and then TSA holdings will form another airline and transfer planes away from Go Jets to save money.

Go-jets/TSA management may suck, but don't blame its pilots. These issues are above our heads, and are determined by outsourcing clauses that originate at mainline contracts. They loosen scope to save their own skins, and leave the smaller stuff for us to fight over.
It is an ALPA issue...
United is offering its furloughees preference at Go-jet, skywest, and mesa, according to a new letter of agreement with alpa. I'll go to gojet, if i need and want the flying job, and let alpa figure it out.
It is an alter-ego, set up to get around the TSA contract, but what are we supposed to do about it?
Until alpa national starts acting like a real union, instead of a flying club for squadron buddies, this happens.

No answer for the corrupt bankruptcy judges, the RLA, the biased NBB? CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.....
Oh, but that would require leadership and guts...not a neutered alpa

See...what really happened....was... the Captain (who had his skateboard with him) knew of a " wicked halp-pipe" close to the hotel, so they could get their "360 degree twisty-mc-flippy thingy" on. There was absolutely no time to waste!


C'mon man.....laugh a little

Nope. Go-Jet pilots suck too. But thanks for playing.

If you can live with yourself have at it.

I would rather leave the industry before wearing a GoJet badge..........for god sakes man think about it.
