Gojet Class Starts

[100LL... Again!]

Easy for you to say.

If they can undi a bit of the unfairness by getting a ground-level position, so what.

And like I said, ALPA forgave all kinds of REAL scabs, so what is the point?
Other than scabbing, you must look out for yourself.

You are offering nothing but a pat on the back. That doesn't go very far.

If we are talking about scabbing, then no.

If we are talking about GoJet, then Yes, because gojet is not scabbing (yet).

This is funny coming from you, being so green to the industry. When you are on your second or third furlough, you may feel differently. After all, you were a PFT'er right? It is certainly in your personality to lookout for yourself first, without regard for the ramifications.

If we are to forgive a low-time job-buyer, then we can forgive a high-timer who needs a job. Until it IS scabbing, it is NOT scabbing. And you're just too much a noob in this biz to be calling anyone a scumbag, Mr. big-shot ALPA guy. When you've been a real pilot a little longer, we can talk. I'm tempted to apply at gojet just to tick you off.

Besides, ALPA totally forgave an airline full of real scabs, so what the he11!
Let's just all get along!

Well said.

Your right on..... I have seen how ALPA treats the regionals over the years. Experienced it first hand. They can careless about anyone flying at a regional/commuter. Its always as a earlier poster said.. the "I got mine" attitude.

A cohort of mine is starting class there. He is a furloughed and got the blessing from his Union to work there. If there is alot of furloughed 121 guys going there I would be carefull of threating any list.. It could back fire on you for these guys will be back at the Big Show before any TSA guys will, also they have been in this small world business alot longer.

Yep, they treated us at XJT pretty bad too. We got not only the Director of Representation (the highest ranking attorney in their negotiations department) as our contract negotiator but also, for roughly 1 year, had one of the Assistant Directors with us in negotiations as well. We had all of their resources available to us and often had both the Director of Communications as well as the Assistant Director of Communications working us. When Retirement & Insurance issues arose, we had a senior R&I Specialist fly down to help us. When we dealt with Scope/Job Security issues, we had 2 more attorneys from not only ALPA's Legal Department but also from their outside retained counsel of Cohen, Weiss, and Simon, with us. When we needed money, they gave us more money for communications and negotiations. Yep...they could care less about us.

Well I'm glad you are happy with them. I witnessed first hand at what happend at AirWis in the early 90s and at another regional carrier I worked for they never even showed up to talk to us and when they did they didnt even know who we were.. I would suppose that through the years they now have recognized that their biggest customer in the future are going to be RJ guys. Good Luck

How long since you weren't paying for it?

Paying for what? If you saying that anyone who paid for their training paid for a job than you are sadly mistaken and a moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
