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

I don't give a damn what any pilot thinks I just need a job is there any disgrace in that?

_YES._

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.

You're full of ********************. Hulas promised the higher pay and a better contract but didn't have the money because of the cost of buying the certificate for the CRJ7s. The dumbass MEC who backstabbed the pilot group in an effort to save his ass for landing with the parking break set, told Hulas to go ******************** himself. Gojet was created and as promised they got the higher pay and a contrac, that would have been TSA if they had said yes. What's amazin is that even ALPA was trying to get the group to accept the CRJ7s. Now random guys are blaming GJ for their misfortunes and spreading hate to anyone that cares. Alimbo the time is now, however unless you are furloughed mainline or TSA, you might have to wait untill we get fat on CA candidates. Right now the resume stack is very high.

CX880, not even close. You just keep trying to justify yourself.

Yea, the truth hurts. But hey, enjoy the Eagle flying you guys are doing out of MIA.

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.

Don't ever compare SkyWest and ASA again ever. Just because you got canned from Flight Options doesnt mean you should go around promoting GoJets. What a resume you have, bottom feeder fractional to bottom feeder regional.

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?

Yes, you are correct. Because by standing strong, there will be a job that you can go to that is worth your years of school.

...anyone mention the scumbag factor?

We're not talking about Obama here.

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

No...every other pilot on here is doing what is best for them.....GoJet was a direct result of failed APA/ALPA scope issues.....ALPA has scabs as members....and scabs have held positions within ALPA....There are no "ethics" in this so called "union"....

Do what is best for you and don't look back...

Oh you zinged me again my conservative friend!

Why would I blame myself? I joined a nobile cause and an awesome pilot group. I have NO regrets coming here and I dont have to blame anyone on this side of the table.
