Game Over, Gulfstream!

[Tarzan]

Last time I checked we didn't cross any picket lines or pay for a right seat. If you think GJ pilots are A-Holes for undercutting, although we get paid more than TSA, then what else is new in this business? I'm pretty sure we're going to be screwed next.

Paid more? You guys are the bottom of the barrel for 70 seat stuff. TSA flies only 50 seaters. They're pay rates for the 70 seat equipment top yours.

I know you get off on putting flame on this board but I truly believe you taek yourself seriously from time to time.

If every airline was audited they would all be "going concern"...I don't see any big deal here.

COUnited will keep them around...if they didn't boot them for using car parts they arn't going to boot them for any other reason.

That's not true, check the CRJ7/9 pay rates. Maybe even the Colgan Q400s if you'd like even though they're a different market. Pay is besides the point anyways, it doesn't matter if the union gets industry leading pay at GJ. TSA unfortunately will still have a problem with the whipsaw factor. Too bad it had to be this way I guess but both unions are trying to work out the mess that's been created. Management has turned us against each other, don't give them the satisfaction.

The ones that defend GIA the loudest are the ones with the most to hide.

Law.....of.....Primacy. The terd can be swept under the rug, but the smell will tell.

Great point! BLAH!!! But primacy on airmanship would go back to the privat pilot and commercial ratting would it not? I quess the instructor that gave them the private pilot lic. be responsible. And in the law of primacy wouldnt it be the ones responsible for teaching in a new aircraft. It was not the 1900 in which these accidents happened so it would be the, primacy, of the new aircraft instuctors fault! come up with some new excuesses.

What is commercial ratting? Is that like commercial fishing, but with rats? I never knew there was such an industry...

Dude, that sounds like a great idea!


When I eventually get back I'll remember to bring a small can of prego with me!

For the past 20 years, the worst offender in the race to the bottom, as we all know, has been Gulfstream Int'l Airlines, a ragtag B1900 operator which, instead of interviewing and hiring professional First Officers, came up instead with a novel idea- to actually charge inexperienced pilots $20,000. in exchange for the dubious privilege of playing First office for 250 hours. Truly a despicable practice.

Well, it looks like the fat lady is about to sing. GIA will no longer be the corn in Continental's poop any longer:
