Where Alpa Stance on GoJet?
Defiantly not in line with TSA pilots, dose that make you wonder why?

I would like to say that I’m a proud ALPA CARD holder now.

every alpa member knows who and what you really are.

An alter ego scumbag pilot.

And a potential SCAB.

Why wouldn't ALPA look after ALPA? It is a business after all. Gotta protect their revenue!

Maybe the only true thing you have ever said.

Nevertheless, pilots know who and what you are. An alter ego pilot who is a threat to their careers.

Redbook, I gotta admit your my favorite zealot. Mindless retorts time and time again. Keep it up!

Perfect example....when facts don't work resort to name calling and intimidation. Thanks for the illustration!

Gayjhetters still munch the still steaming poo from a dogs butt, before a fly can land. May your F/A be liberal with the visine and your choice of dog poo have worms!

Does CO..

require any spelling ability, Swordfish???? I work with the checkairmen and apparently your threats are as toothless as a gayjet FA.... Sorry, shortbus... YOU LOSE!!!!!!!!!
 
Theo, Sh*tfish, et al....

You all seem happy to talk about union intimidation and how "misled" the TSA pilots were.... And then "threats" for another pilot at another carrier... But really, how informed are you? Were you there? Are you just blindly spouting what TSA mgmt has fed to you, or are you really informed??? Did you ever talk to ANY union official, or is this just what DT and SP were whispering in your pathetic automaton ears???? Come on, you have no ground to stand on... You were not there, you went the alter ego path, and you are not liked... I, for one, love to see you guys in ORD.... Even in another uniform, I still can't get ANY of your "guys" to keep eye contact... No pride from a group that screws over others... Now that is a pilot group!!!!!
 
You know what? This is the kind of bull$hit is what makes alter-ego companies possible in the first place. I've been biting my tongue on this for a while now, but yesterday I bumped into a good friend from a long time ago (fellow Riddle grad) at the FlightSafety facility here in St. Louis. He's here training for the CRJ700....for....GoJets..... He's a good guy and I can't keep my big mouth shut any more.We're all in this industry for the same reason. To make money through flying airplanes for a living. Some of us have kids to feed... SO EASE UP.I happen to be here in St. Louis training for the E170, for Republic. I'm here after flying the Beech for Colgan in the Northeast. Whatever problems existed as a result of Colgan "stealing" routes from the USAir guys are no longer valid... that was a long time ago. Nobody is still pissed at Colgan. Maybe it's time to ease up on the GoJets folks. Maybe it's time to give the GoJets thing a rest.LISTEN-This is just my opinion. I'm here at the FliteSafety training facility in St. Louis until April 9. I'm not going to hide behind internet anonyminitity to express my opinion. Any problems... come see me, my name is Dave and I'm in St. Louis training at FliteSafety for Republic. I'm not looking for a fight, bt I'm sure as $hit not going to hide either. Thanks for listening, my friends...Dave

Dave congratulations on getting the 170, riddle must have been worth it. Since you are in training and obviously did not have time to do a quick search and actually research this topic, i will briefly summarize. You comment about "stealing flying" from mainline. This is a free market society, and regrettably quality operations such as EXJet and AWAC lose out to other regionals in favor of the bottom line. This is not the case with GJet or Freedom. United awarded the flying of those CRJ 700s to TSA. That flying was awarded based on MY contract concessions and on MY on-time performance (we lie, but hey it looks good on paper). MY company used the profits (Hulas made $31 million profit in 2005 off of me) from MY operation to buy shiny new a/c and use MY company's infrastructure and resources to create this new airline so that the cheap azz company wouldn't have to pay its pilots a decent wage. They could instead pay a sub-industry average wage to 1st year captains, that is why the company created hojets. I have an utter disdain for ALL hojet pilots b/c they are knowingly bypassing seniority to personally cut infront of me (yes i am senior to every hojetter). That was MY upgrade that was awarded to MY company. I waited inline to "feed my kids." So yes, I personally have a problem, and will not "ease up", tell your buddy that he will never ride in my jumpseat.

NEVER Forget
 
Hey Dave,

The "gotta feed my kids" argument doesn't hold water when there are other (non-alter-ego) airlines hiring. I'll probably be at Flight Safety in STL on Tuesday from noon to 8. If you need any questions answered about the whole Go Jet issue, please feel free to ask. My name is Andrew, and I'll be wearing a Trans States ID.
 
how many gojeters actually do get denied while jumpseating home?
 
While we're on the Go Jet subject, I'd like to offer my best wishes to Dave T now that Skybus might be flying soon. Dave, I really hope you get what's coming to you.
 
Iron Man,

The man you just addressed is currently overseas fighting for our country. Just what exactly do you mean by getting what's coming to him? While he and I and other decent folks play by the rules and sacrifice for our company and families, pukes like yourself think they can climb the ladder by walking across our backs taking the opportunities that our hard work provided to TSA. You're filth; and to mock one of our boys who's away from his home and family, keeping you and yours safe is disgraceful. I'd spit in your face if you were in front of me.

good post. NEVER forget.

We won't.

Dave, get a clue. You are not picking a fight, you are joining a fight in progress.
 
I was a little surprised to find that some majors and LCC's post list of pilots who are showing up for class.

I was honestly suprised to hear my buddy at a LCC scans this list for any ex Goat Jetters/Freedom A-listers that he has met. He lets them all jumpseat and writes down their name. I don't know if a regular line guy like him really has any ability to blackball anyone, but I wouldn't want to risk it myself. He isn't forgetting

Anyone else heard this?
 
a gojet rat can always fall thru the cracks. did you know a rat can crawl through holes only a half inch in diameter? at most companies with the exception of skybus there are rodent controls in place.
