Currently ALPA is recommending that furloughed pilots go work at go jets. This just goes to show how spineless ALPA has become. ALPA rolled over on the fight to stop them and now this. It's sad that ALPA gives up so easy. I'm sure every airline is looking at how easy ALPA gave up and is working on ways to lower our wages even more. All they have to do is start another airline and move all their flying there.
CX880 and Options Slave do nothing on this board other than defend GoJets. Hell, they probably work for ALPA national.
As for the rest of people who care to stop crapping on other pilots, it is, and always will be, a scumbag operation.
I could really care less. Doesn't bother me what others think anyway, because no one gives a flyin' _ _ _ _. I sure don't.![]()
I don't give a damn what any pilot thinks I just need a job is there any disgrace in that? With my loans coming in what am I to do? Work for some subpar fast food business and put all my years of school to waste because it might not be the ethical thing to do?

Options, your posts are full of lies and half truths. You spin and mislead trying to justify yourself and your coworkers. You're nothing but an enabler of management in their efforts to undermine another pilot group and their contract.
CX880, not even close. You just keep trying to justify yourself.
NO one really cares what TSA pilots think of Gojet. The majors surely don't. Do you really think guys with thousands of hours of Boeing time would jeapardize getting hired to fly one again by working for such an airline? Grow up - no one cares. TSA stole every bit of flying it ever got from other carriers. Eagle pilots hate TSA pilots, ACA and Air Whiskey guys hate TSA pilots (My neighbor is one of them).
Trans States guys are no different, you just lost your gamble from an MEC that didn't know what it was doing and played their Ace up their sleeve only to get trumped in court and by the NMB, have no where else to go but try to spin it however you can, and now try to take it out on innocent Gojet pilots who had nothing to do with it and are furloughed pilots from other carriers.
Gojet and TSA are no different than Skywest and ASA. Two separate airlines on two separate certificates. And before you even TRY to go there and say it's alter-ego, remember, that argument was lost not only in court but at the NMB. But go ahead and go there, you want to because it makes you feel better. No one cares.
I hope every TSA pilot who finds themselves furloughed will take advantage of pref hiring at Gojet and get back in the air rather than be stupid and NOT fly, NOT gain Jet experience and flip burgers instead. Pilots can upgrade as soon as they make the minimum flight times, and they get a 1 for 1 for every hour in the plane, with upgrades in a 75,000 lb airplane coming as quick as you can make the time in it. Pilots with over 3500 hours are going directly into the left seat. Turbojet 121 PIC time is golden. Go ahead and flip burgers and see what that does for the majors. There is no picket line being crossed here, the majors don't care about where you worked or where you got your PIC time. I also have NEVER seen a GoJet pilot "hold his head down", or "hide" in ORD (dumbasses believe that).
GoJet is just about the only regional currently hiring and not furloughing, and just about the only regional that not only is growing, but growing like crazy. A pilot hired today will be half-way up the seniority list by the end of 2009. Pay sucks, it is just above Mesa in the right seat but in the middle of the road in the left seat (but still sucks) for regional 70-seat pay.
From what it looks like though, Gojet's not having a problem hiring both high-time and TSA furloughed pilots. Pilots at Gojet have been hired at every Major and Southwest. The false rumors spread by the spikey-haired pilots who were born in the mid 80's or later, don't know what shoe polish is or how to turn on an Iron are wrong and can barely spell ATP (which is OK, they don't have one), let alone get their pulse on what is going on in the industry, and they are just upset because Gojet was formed to get around the strangle-hold of American Airlines, NOT the TSA pilots, and their little gamble did not pay off trying to force one list.
Good luck to all.

We're not talking about Obama here....anyone mention the scumbag factor?

Plus, you knew what was going on at TSA. You elected to go there. Blame yourself.
