Go to GJ? Don't expect any respect from the rest of the profession if you do. Any GJ pilot that crosses my path is going to be embarrassed if in public. Some say it's not a scab airline, well, it is. Stealing jobs from others is a scab tactic, hence GJ is a scab airline.

Don't be ignorant.

Got one!
 
Not telling you what to do..but... Just read all the post on here and see what the major part of the airline industry feels about the Blowjet pilots. Saw a few at the subway the other day in STL, all had their badges turned around. They know the deal. Things might look great for these guys now, but trust me when they spend the rest of their career on reserve cause they get stapled to the bottom of the TSA list, life is gonna suck for them. Make up your own mind, but do all your homework first.

I think this post pretty much sums up what kind of support exists out there from the general ALPA public. Good luck fellas ! :rolleyes:

An outstanding summation of the "big picture" no one really wants to face up to...

ALPA is the real joke here. How many pilots does USAir have on furlough? It numbers in the thousands. And yet they have the gall to say that they "do not condone" these pilots accepting employment with this particular company?

They did the same thing with Freedom Air!

You know what? When ALPA starts paying my mortgage they can tell me where to work. As long as no picket line is being crossed I think ALPA can stick their advice where the sun don't shine.

Why? Because they're hypocrites. They have no problem signing agreements to outsource an ARMADA of 50-100 seat airplanes while thousands of pilots are being furloughed. But god forbid the furloughees try and find employment FLYING one of these 50-100 seat replacement jets!

Sure. The TSA pilots have a point. Their management has created an alter-ego airline in order to whipsaw them into submission.

Yup! I agree 100%. At the same time, however, I believe that management's practice of putting 40,50,70,90+ seat "regional jets" at affiliate carriers is a whipsaw as well! And you know what? ALPA permitted it!! Duane Woerth signed the LOA!!!

I'm not an airline pilot anymore. And things like this make me darned glad.

Somewhere out there is a furloughee from US Airways, or United, or American (TWA) or Delta... He didn't want to accept jets4jobs because you said it was wrong.

He didn't want to accept employment at Republic because you said it's wrong.

He couldn't get hired by Southwest or Jetblue or FedEx because he was one of literally THOUSANDS who were trying to do so and were unsuccessful.

And now his UNION...the one who was supposed to protect HIS job but instead outsourced it has told him that they don't CONDONE him going out and getting the only flying job he could???

I'm raising the B.S. flag. I refuse to cross a picket line. Beyond that ALPA will not govern my career decisions. They lost the ability to make THOSE decisions when they signed on to the company's plan to park DC9s and buy regional-jets flown by pilots who didn't even work for my company...and for a fraction of the pay!!!

You want a whipsaw? Look around! Every Bombardier and Embraer you see is whipsaw.

These MDA guys may be losing their jobs AGAIN. Many of them, furloughed by the same company for a THIRD time. If I were them i'd mail my ALPA wings to Duane in a pretty box with a bow and tell him where to store it.

Ok. Flame away.

ROFL..........LOL........that was freakin hillarious
 
I love guys who have more bark than bite........

Go ahead and start a jumpseat war. What goes around will certainly come around. Many a dork who denies a jumpseat will end up begging for one some day. If I were you I would hope that the pilot you humiliate will have a short memory.

All this bluster about Go Jets......what management is doing is perfectly legal and it certainly is the same playbook used by other airline managements. This isn't the first time, and it won't be the last. The only difference is the names and the players.

Fact. In the past few years, the regionals have quadrupled in size. The size of the aircraft they fly has doubled and even tripled in some cases. Not one tear was shed by these pilots over the degradation of the careers of others. Now that the chicken has come home to roost, it isn't pretty, is it? You weep for yourself but don't realize that you are a pot calling the kettle black. Look for this to continue in the future as the mainline MEC's decide that it is in their best interests to keep their flying, even if it means flying it for less to keep it out our YOUR hands. Maybe then you can kick one of them off the jumpseat as they take more of the flying that you think you are entitled to.

Again, all under the watchful eye of ALPA and DW.....the madness continues.

Who ever said that working for the regionals was a "CAREER" anyway!

The whole idea from the beginning was go get out as fast as you can.

If you wouldn't accept the initial pay scale then they would actually need pilots and have to raise the pay.....supply and demand...supply and demand...supply and demand....supply and demand....the regionals are not the majors...the regionals are not the majors....the regionals are not the majors and never will be....

And another thing don't get an aviation management degree. Get a "REAL" degree so you can actually get a "REAL" JOB when this whole thing collapses.

over and out....
 
We had some on the hotel van the other day. They never even looked up to make eye contact....... even they know they SUK..
