G0JETS Blows

[MD80DRVR]

It's pretty funny to go over to the training center and see these guys (G0Jet Pilots) walking around with their heads held high. They actually act rather arrogant....

That's because they've been listening to the lies from guys like KingKong2 and FreedumbAList. "Don't worry about stabbing your fellow pilots in the back. You'll work at BloJets for a few years and then go right to work at Jet Blue or Southwest! Care for some more KoolAid?"

 

[FreedomAList]

Relax PCL . . you'll get your chance to stab them right back when they get re-integrated into your list (or stapled) when it all comes back together -- as it most likely will (it just makes too much $$$ sense).

Just don't be too disappointed when other airlines don't give a frak about a hundred or so non-scabbing regional airline guys.

Small fish, big ocean, ya know? Life's too short. You mean to tell me that you carry the Eastern and CAL ACTUAL scab lists . . . and check it EVERY TIME A JUMPSEATER COMES ON BOARD? Ugh.

Whatever turns you on, I guess.

 

[jbDC9]

So this has probably been asked before, but what's up with hiding the name of the airline? Do the moderators have a hard on to defend them or something? Just curious...

Indeed I do. I also carry the Freedumb list and now the BloJets list. I'm not the only one either. I know lots of guys that carry the Freedumb list.

I am not defending scabs, I just don't see how a guy who PFT's his way into the right seat of a PNCL CRJ can be so critical.

I know a guy who can't get the time of day from any reputable 135 outfits much less heavier iron fliers in the US. Called on Friday and rolled off a turnip truck on Monday and right through a picket line some time back. I have seen that list of scabs and he is indeed listed.

I think it is mostly true what has been portrayed with Pilots hiring pilots in most majors and regionals. However, as the generations pass and more young kool-aid mustached '"thank you, sir, may I have another'" management apeasers rise to these ranks, we will see the weight of these scab lists deteriorate to insignifigance. It is both sad and alarming as another poster correctly assess the ability of management to circumvent rules and obligations through alter ego's.

Has anyone considerred alternatives to disrupting the ego's operations? -Long, slow roll-outs in front of these guys on Final forcing a GA
-Rediculous slow taxi in front of these guys
-develop a problem in fron of their gate delaying Push or Shut down.
-or delay in front of their gates to block push back or

I once paid a ramper $50 bucks to NOT service the lav of a Friends a/c flying fora competitor. Long flight in and out, middle of summer. I bet those pax thought twice about flying that carrier again.

Mr 100-1/2,
You obviously have never read ALPA's Airline Pilot's Code of Ethics. While the actions that you are advocating might give you or any of the rest of us a brief feeling of satisfaction they are also highly unprofessional. Our first priority is to safety and our second is to the passengers. They should not have to suffer because of some squabble between pilot groups. Let's all act like the professional pilots that we signed up to be.

There isn't a single PFT pilot on GJ's list. They are mostly furloughed mainline pilots that are very professional with excellent credentials.

A low time PFT Pinnacle pilot casting judgement. What an idiot.

It's super you carry these lists, since you're not in the position to grant or deny a jumpseat.

Apparently it's ok for you to PFT, but those who take the first job offered when they're out of work and their unemployment is barely paying the bills, are scum.

People in glass houses....

Been there, seen that. Irritating when you're the only GJ a/c at the airport, but once they're up and running with 20+ jets, you just can't stop them. Oh, and you WILL be calling the tower phone # -- controllers aren't stupid, and they could care less about your contract problems -- they have traffic to move SAFELY. If you say something stupid on a recorded line, you're toast. So be careful, ladies.

Meanwhile, GJ will just get priority handling from controllers driving the point home to everyone else. And YOUR chief pilot will be calling you gents in for the 'ole carpet dance (probably won't be permanently fired, but don't you have better things to do with your time?)

If you really had 1.) a legitimate beef with your contract and 2.) some cojones you'd strike over this. Company would knuckle under in .0005 sec. But that would require a little risk on your part. Cluck-cluck-cluck.

I know lots of guys that carry the Freedumb list.

And yet strangely, I never get bumped. I guess it's a regional airline thing. Maybe because they realize . . . this guy will just bump the next pilot from MY airline next time he gets a chance, and he'll mention MY name when he does it?

(BTW, I just can't believe you check Freedom, GJs, Eastern, CAL, and all the rest for every jumpseater on quick turns (but methinks you'll be checking F8 for awhile -- he he) ---- SHENNANIGANS!)

Somebody should build a small handheld computer/PDA that all lists can be consolidated. I am sure guys like PCL128 would buy it so they could keep all these lists straight, tidy and well organized. Maybe his flights could get out on time because his list checking time would be cut down considerably. Good new business opportunity for somebody! LOL!

Check my profile, I'm an FO for a couple more months. I'm not chucking anybody. The jumpseat belongs to the Captain and he can put whoever he wants on it. That's really none of my business until I've upgraded. However, you can bet I'll be checking once I move to the left seat. There's plenty of time even on the quick turns.

. However, you can bet I'll be checking once I move to the left seat. There's plenty of time even on the quick turns.

You do that as a new Capt if you want. You just better hope that your don't have to commute to work on a GJets or Mesa Airplane. Considering Mesa flys for every major carrier in the lower 48's, I wouldn't be pissing them off. Next time a PCL guy goes to jumpseat from DEN to MEM (on Mesa) the Mesa Capt will simply turn around and say, " I'm denying you the jumpseat becase of Capt John Doe at your company". Then that's your ass.
