TSA can thank their worthless MEC and ALPA for GOJet!!!! Your MEC agreed to fly the 70 seaters but uh oh they didnt read the fine print till 5 days later and saw language that said any larger A/C would be flown at the same rate and then turned down the offer. Thats why GoJet was created!!!!

I see we have a new contender for FI village idiot.

[I]CX880, let me ask you this. What is the problem.[/I]

[I]Anytime ANY company starts a new company to get around a contract or to pay lower wages, there is a problem.[/I]

[I]Mind you, GoJet was created AFTER the company came to the union to renegoiate the payscales for these new aircraft. Had the union allowed the CBA to be renegoiated without the consent of the pilot group, people would have screamed bloddy murder.[/I]

[I]After the union stood fast at "industry average minus the highest and lowest payscale for new, larger aircraft" did the company come up with the idea of an entirely new and different pilot group and seniority.[/I]

[I][U][B]I wasn't around then but TSA pilots said no, didn't think about the fact that Gojet was going to be formed anyways[/B][/U][/I]

[I]I was and I did. I voted NO and EXPECTED my company to negoiate a fair and just LOA. Not a 4 year extension to an already 6 year contract. No to 90 seat payscales. No to furlough protection for initial GoJet pilots.[/I]
[I]It was the hard work of every TSA pilot that even allowed the GoJet/70 issue to be a reality at TSA. I expected to be rewarded for my efforts. I was not.[/I]

[I]It seems you are a Waterskier.. can I ask why you didn't go to Gateway/Lindburgh?[/I]

[I][U][B]As someone said in the other posts we're all going to end up at someplace better than the regional anyways if we so choose[/B][/U][/I]

[I]My last question is what makes a place better?[/I]
[I]I made the jump to a good strong Legacy but guess what, it takes the "pilots" to make it better. It takes "pilots" to form a strong union and to make sure management doesn't outsource our jobs for cheaper labour.[/I]

[I]I will vote NO on my next contract if we give any scope relief to my current management team. Any 70 seat or greater jet needs to be flown by Mainline pilots. I am taking exception to the Q400's being flown by a regional feeder as it's a niche market.[/I]

[I]I don't own the Jumpseat anymore, but when I do someday, I will never forget those 'GoJetters'[/I]

[I]Always[/I]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif][FONT=Times New Roman, serif][SIZE=2]I have had both TSA and Gojet pilots in my jumpseat and heard all sorts of stories about what happened. As a commuter and having worked as a jumpseat coordinator, I understand the difficulty these days that pilots have going back and forth to work and I hate to leave anyone behind. For these reasons, I follow the ALPA Jumpseat Policy to keep politics out of the jumpseat and focus it at the negotiating table where these issues should be worked out. [/SIZE][/FONT]


[SIZE=2][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I heard an interesting story the other day from a jumpseater. There is an airline that will not let Gojet jumpseat. So, this pilot of this particular airline gets the jumpseat and goes down the ramp to introduce himself. He was told that they don't have an agreement and he can't ride. "Oh, I thought this was "xyz" airline not Gojet", so he excuses himself and goes back up the ramp to give up the jumpseat. While waiting in the passenger area for the next flight, a TSA pilot comes along, signs up for the jumpseat on Gojet and proceeds to his destination. Now the pilot that gave up the jumpseat is sitting there wondering: “ WTF-OVER!”[/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=2][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]"Why am I giving up a ride home for this "fight against Gojet" when the TSA Pilot(s) are not refusing to ride on them". [/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=2][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]He immediately went to his union leadership to have the policy changed.[/FONT][/SIZE]


[SIZE=2][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Apparently, Mootch not everyone agrees with you. [/FONT][/SIZE]




[FONT=Times New Roman, serif][SIZE=2]Rather than trying to divide the pilot groups (and I am talking about all pilot groups) the union leaderships should be working together to improve conditions and not destroy one another. These actions and policies by individuals and individual unions takes the focus off of management where it really belongs.[/SIZE][/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif][SIZE=2]Good luck to everyone in these turbulent times![/SIZE][/FONT]

Who would lower themselves to the point of actually asking a GoJet pseudo-scab for a free ride anyway?

Hey PFT_128,

Remind us about how you whored yourself out and paid Gulfstream for the honor of sitting in the right seat of a 1900. Who are you to talk? Again, we have FI BIGGEST hypocrit (spelling?) mouthing off.

So I guess you're a GoJet pseudo-scab.

Pseudo-Scab?? You mean like someone who sells out the the profession and pays to fly for Gulfstream? I'll take a Go Jet pilot ANYDAY in my jumpseat before I take some Gulfstream PFT Whore like yourself PFT_128.

Good day!
 
Weird. What is it with you and your little kid references

Wow..you really aren't that smart are you?? Uh...that would be because you and some others act like 7th graders..read it
s-l-o-w-l-y. You obviously ride the "short bus" to work.

You won't have to worry about it, because I won't be asking a GoJet whore like yourself for a free ride.

HAHAH! I don't even know if I can respond to that...I have to stop laughing first. It's ok man, you just keep doing what you do and stabbing other pilots in the back...and keep up with those little kid references. It's obvious you've got a special place in your heart for it...

Try again Genius, I don't fly for GoJets. I was just saying that I would rather have a GoJet pilot in my jumpseat anyday before I allow some Gulfstream PFT sellout like yourself onboard. Sorry, but your the only whore here PFT_128.
