Go Jets

[cocknbull]

TonyC LOL, That was great!

Here is the next quiz

1. IF Gojets is not an alter ego set to undercut everyone than, why is TSA using a separate pilot group?


If you answered to get around the CBA of TSA pilots, you are right. If you answered, not to piss off AA, you are wrong. The fact that TSA started Gojets would piss them off more..

2. True or false, **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**'s contract will be better than TSA's?

If you answered False you're right, If you answered True, you're wrong. Their would be no point in a separate pilot group if they didn't think **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** pilots would do it cheaper.

3. True or False, Hulas cares deeply about the quality of life of **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** pilots. If TSA pilots win, Hulas will make sure that **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** pilots are protected and treated fairly?

If you answered False you're right, If you answered True you are the opposite of smart.

... and working for hk with worse work rules than the TSA FA's currently have.

I don't know why that TOOL keeps on opening his stupid trap. Like GIA is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than Go Jets

Normally, I would ask this on the lounge but since it is closed, here goes; Did anybody else see the official seniority list that came out today? I did and I noticed that all the "pilots" who are now at Blow Jet are still listed on our seniority list. WTF is going on here?

 

[Frank Bama]

Hey Millhouse, I just saw that...Did you also notice that the new CRJ-700 that says "GOJETS Airlines" on it is at the Trans States Airlines Hangar being worked on by Trans States mechanics and will be staffed by management pilots currently, as you and I saw are still on the TSA seniority list, completely seperate company MY A$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not all. EO hired 1/12/04 STL/ATR is not on the new list but the others who were given a leave of absence are.

BTW, wassup with the lounge? A week is a long time for a simple software upgrade.

Hey, cocknbull, if you think I'd defend G0Jet, you're confused.

I know the Administrator is vehemently opposed to the publishing or sharing of any scab lists. Given that, I'm surprised he'd rig the board to single out G0Jet as a dirty word.

Funny, while G0Jet is a bad word, GoJets is not. Very interesting....

I think you know whats going on Millhouse. EO was a fairly new guy, so off the list with him. All the others are Captains with seniority and apparently they were given LOAs to go to the darkside. I've kept my invitation letter to Blowjets, you know the one that says "you must resign seniority at your current airline" so that when this saga continues we can file ANOTHER grievance about why the pilots that left to go to the "other airline" are back on my seniority list above me?!?!?!

Can't really blame him/her. Although there are some court cases that establish legal precedent saying that scab lists aren't leagally prosecutable as "libel", they were cases for lists of guys who crossed actual picket lines during an actual strike.

The door is very much open, however, for a libel suit against anyone publishing/distributing a "scab list" for pilots who are not engaged in flying struck work. I suspect the administrator isn't intrested in getting his hinney sued.

Frank was Right! I think that little phrase just about covers the BlowJet mess.

I understand the reasoning, and I don't object.

It's the rationale to ban G0JET as a "dirty word" that has me mystified.


(For the less observant in the bunch, I am only able to get that word to print because I substitute a ZERO for the letter "OH". If it is spelled correctly, it shows up on the board as **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**.)

Actually, it's both. If you start your career at BloJets, then you'll also have to end it there. You'll never be able to leave, at least not to a real career airline.

You know what? Everyone says that. They said it about Freedom and they have pilots who have moved on to Southwest, JetBlue, AirTran, etc; and they've said it about PFT'ers and they're everywhere. It's all talk and no action. There are no repercussions to going to GoJets except for maybe getting booted off a few jumpseats.

I hope you enjoy flying that RJ for peanuts until the day you turn 60

You guys have been flying RJ's for peanuts since the first one hit the line. THAT'S the problem.

This one of the few true statements I've heard about GoJets. I figure most guys who work there are going to live in ST Louis anyway, so the jumpseat threat isn't even a big one.

However, what should worry them (GoJets pilots) is the merger threat. If TSA is able to force Go-Jets pilots back into their senority list, like Mesa did with Freedom, then anyone who went to Go-Jets is going to have to quit very quickly and find a new job. And if that happens, say a year or so from now, who knows what the job climate will be like then.

I agree that there will be little or no people on the interview board and in HR departments at Southwest, JetBlue, AirTran, etc who know/care who Go-Jets is. They just see "PIC CRJ Time", and think "reginonal airline", just like SkyWest, ASA, Comair, etc. However, if you aren't able to get one of those jobs after Go-Jets, you definately might have trouble going to another commuter airline, because they WILL know who you are.

Just my 2 Cents.

 

[Frank Bama]

You guys have to stop being so narrow minded by thinking that this fight is just at the regional level. I commute on Southwest, and have had captains saying that they support the fight that we at Trans States have ahead of us. They said that there was no way that any GOJETS guy would ever jumpseat on their airplanes. Good luck to the backstabbers trying to ride on SWA...
