Go Jet Airlines, a reasonable option or a way to the blacklist?

[armani]

Let me guess "1000 hours PIC and I'm gone" right?

Is that your plan?

Do you have ANY IDEA how many pilots had that plan and are way ahead of you still sitting in their regional job?

"but I'm different" you will say

Pick a decent regional because you WILL..... absolutely WILL be there for a while.

That plan stopped working a long, long time ago. Unless you talk to the recruiters at ATP, FSI, Riddle, etc...

I totally disagree with this people even with the state of the industry are going to big metal w 1,000 PIC. Just takes good networking and a good attitude while keeping positive. I went to a regional hoping for a quick up grade and got it with 1400 in the left seat it worked out for me. Many friends that I flight instructed w who gave me loads of crap for going to the regional I did just got put back in the right seat at the “Dream Regional.” Remember regional flying can change drastically in one year someone company is doing well today may not tomm. It is all about receiving bids from other carriers to do their flying.

I'll take the over on the 10-15 page prediction.

Boy, did you call it or what

At th end of the day, there are more scabs working at Continental (remember children?)...so would you dissuade someone from accepting employment there??

I agree!!!

This is not stupid BS, pilots lost their jobs over this and faced downgrades as a direct response from Go Jets.

Selfish actions of the pilots that went there made this all happen. They knew better!

Pilots lost their jobs and faced downgrades as a direct result of low time pilots willing to fly jets for poverty wages.

That argument goes ways beyond just TSA/GoJet discussion.

 

[Smarta$$]

Pilots DID lose their job as a direct result of GOJET. I was one of them.

I will forever see them as the low lifes they are. At least until they do the right thing and work together with TSA pilots and force a single list.

Until then, they get no favors from me.

B come to GJ Ill have my app in January 13th and I know I wont get hired but maybe. Im telling you its worth it you will love Chicago and we can always split a place its better than living with the parents. Who gives a ******************** if these DBAGS will be pissed they dont pay your bills.

Sounds like a HOMOEROTIC fantasy for 2 pathetic losers like yourselves.

Blablabla I'm sorry, the same standard TSA ramble. Another TSA guy who thinks he did his pilot group a favor when in fact TSA is in the ********************ter with more furloughs and downzing to come. By the way as a pilot affected by the NO decision, which even alpa was against, I'd like to personally thank you.

The fact is that Hulas said he didn't have the cash necessary to give you guys 40k for FOs and 80k for CAs because of the cost associated with starting GJ. His idea was to integrate the CRJ and promise the TSA group a pay raise and contract negotiations in exchange for cooperating. TSA guys fueled by their mec, I think mostly because they HATED their management already with clouded judgement, told Hulas to go ******************** himself. Well after several attempts, even after GJ was formed, Hulas gave up and started ops. As promised to TSA, GJ pilots were allowed a union contract and higher pay. You can't get much if you hate your management, now TSA is ********************ed and guys can't let it go.

"Promises" in exchange for cooperation?! Management promises aren't worth SH*T unless it is something written in your contract, and EVEN THEN, they will try and get around it.

Your reasoning attempt for excusing GoJets is pathetic! And YES, Hulas had cash to give 40k to FOs and 80ks to CA. But like any management's wet dream, he would rather form an alter-ego carrier, and hire pilots for that operation. Lets be honest that your typical pilot mill factory pilot has no idea what GoJets is or why it's bad. They're just happy to land their first jet job on a plane with more than one flight attendant. GoJet guys are scum, I'm sorry to say it, but it's true. Do you know how awkward van conversations are everytime you ride with a Gojets crew? I kid you not, I've actually SEEN some GoJets pilot turn their badges around just to hide the name. One guy came to our gate to see if could jumpseat and told me he flew for United Express.

When GoJets pilots stoop to that level, then surely even you must acknowledge that what your carrier did was wrong, and you were bad for taking jobs there to begin with.

GoJets sucks.

 

[ALIMBO]

Actually it's "I could NOT care less."

BTW, airline interview people do pay attention to how you talk, in case you think we're having a useless conversation about how dumb you sound.

I didn't know this became an interview. Thanks for the update tho.

What the ******************** are you talking about we make more than you do. As far as those pay rates, you'll never see them, why do you think regional pilots make the same now if not less than 20 years ago? Blowjets????? Please don't come up with dumbass reasoning, it's getting very old.

Do you know how awkward van conversations are everytime you ride with a Gojets crew? I kid you not, I've actually SEEN some GoJets pilot turn their badges around just to hide the name. One guy came to our gate to see if could jumpseat and told me he flew for United Express.

This is total BS, maybe in 05 they had to resort to that kind of stuff, you're still stuck in 05. As far as the Van ride, it's not our fault if you have personal issues. When I was non GJ, we struck up great conversations, some of the nicest guys.

When GoJets pilots stoop to that level, then surely even you must acknowledge that what your carrier did was wrong, and you were bad for taking jobs there to begin with.

I have no idea what you're talking about. As long as it's not struck work, it's just flying. You won't let it go. GJ was chosen by united for CRJ7 flying, what the F is wrong with that? I mean regional airlines take flying from other regionals all the time, just about every other regional out there has taken other's flying. It's not their flying, it's mainline flying.

Please explain how you lost your job at TSA as a result of Gojet.
