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.

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

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.
 
If CAL ever strikes again it'll be this same go-jet dirt bag that'll cross the line to "feed his kids". Bet you'd do it for the upgrade! Rationalize all you want. You guys know what you did when you took that job.

If some regionals do start hiring Street Captains, use it as an opportunity to leave Go-jets and DO THE RIGHT THING!

Offered a slot in the left seat. Sounds okay, typical regional, so I will think they will be okay. Best thing is, thay are not alpo. I need more info myself, but they seem okay

I've met the guy before. He's nuts. Seriously. He once bit the head off a wild boar, jammed his arm down its carcus, then proceeded to cook it with cigarette lighter.....from the insides out.

There are a lot of ex TSA where I am now, and they do the hiring looking for Go-jeters, non hired so far.
 
what about the lack of a contract or the practice of hiring of street captains. no guarantee of ever upgrading. everyone else is hiring by the way

I haven't got what's coming for me??? Holy Crap!! What's next? Are you going to anally rape my mother while pouring sugar in my gas tank? Oh wait, you mean the 50 seat flying right? I mean, you can't do the AX flying but you guys must be salivating at the thought of Uncle Hulie moving some of the UAL/US EMB flying over to your side. Hmmmm. Good luck!

It's OK for the guy to threaten me even though I'm in Iraq. After all, he probably didn't know that. Also, it isn't possible for me to think any less of the guy.
