gojet jumpseat

[HelloNewman]

Well I don't believe it is just the flightinfo world but the real world. Having a position at an air carrier should come along with some basic info about the state of this industry.

Is that listed in the requirements? What is every new CFI/Regional FO supposed to come on flightinfo and listen to the constant whining? BTW I haven't flown with that many captains who even know who GoJets is. What does that tell you about the real world?

Isn't it the captain's choice to let them on their AC?
Our company is in CASS, and an American Eagle pilot wanted/needed a ride to our destination to meet up with his wife and kids who were already there at 5 am Saturday morning. There's no other commercial flights that weekend into there. He called our company, got run through the CASS system, and we checked his ID. Even though he wasn't on a reciprocal agreement with our company but was still in the CASS system it was the captain's decision. He was a great guy, didn't "expect" to get a ride and we were able to take him. So we did. So That morning he was able to meet his wife and kids which I was happy for him to be able to do.
Then, I got bitched out by another pilot from our company for letting him ride because we don't have a reciprocal agreement with their airline.
If they're good people and we're all in the cass system, why should we get bitched out for letting good people trying to get home to their family? Maybe we should all get over which airline we work for and try and help each other out wherever we work.

7.2? I guess there is a one armed Gojet guy running around somewere? Did he loose the arm stabbing all the TSA guys in the back?

THAT WAS MINT...............lmao

 

[Shrek]

point is who cares if he does not know. Most people really do not give a crap about the little wee wee war between TSA and GoJets. I know the story and I still do not nor will not ever care. TSA guys have still been hired at lots of different airlines. All the internet blowhards said this would never happen. This simply proves there is the real world and there is the flightinfo world. In the real world no one except TSA and a few other bored dorks care about GoJets.

Don't EVER call a GoJet pilot a TSA pilot - you friggen T O O L.........

 

[$$$4nothin]

I have never been a TSA pilot. I am a CHQ pilot. I will never allow a GOJET piece of trash on my airplane. BTW all of you Starcheckers are allowed on us as we are on you. EX 168 and 904 guy

Real world! I jumpseat on mainline usair and united all the time and in the past year I have yet to find a crew that does NOT ask me about the "go-jet situation", so believe it or not, pilots know! And by the way thanks alpa brothers!

 

[bobs98tlr]

some advice, do your research cause people here will hang you out to dry.. I hope you are not an FO for a regional asking a question like that...

Thanks for the heads up, honestly i could care less if some guys tear into me on here. I fly 121 cargo and havent paid to much attention to the TSA GoJets battle. Thats why i asked about the whole deal since it appears in the flightinfo world to be huge. Flame away or explain for me and other people that are lurking and wondering the same thing i am.

 

[SkyW120]

There's also one that commutes from KLAN - he went out of his way to be an a**hole to the gate staff and crew...if you're reading this buddy, good luck getting a seat in the actual when the flight's full...you know who you are.

3 times the last 2 months, and in the last year 7. 2 denied a seat in back and the others i had no problems getting rid of them from the cockpit.
same guy twice (Fo) from GRR to ORD.

reason? ex-tsa. im commuting now b/c of gayjet.
F those scums.

[subin30]

This year in chicago I saw about 4 maybe 5 go jet jumpseaters. Not one was denied the jumpseat. A couple captains asked me who they were and I said no idea who they are. What they did never affected me at Skywest. I really don't give a crap about something that has no effect on me. If you guys think you are actually accomplishing anything your delusional.

Most captains do not know nor care who Go Jets is unless it is a bitter TSA guy. Trust me most guys have way better things to do with their time than get in cat fighting girly man jumpseat wars.

you give skywest a bad name dude. just b/c it doesnt affect you now... gayjet took united flying from wisky and skywest. its only gonna get worse... and yes, i am accomplishing what i can do to not support a scum airline like gayjet. and you? dont give a sh!t...

 

[bobs98tlr]

tathepilot- Thanks for the link, clearly not a good relationship between the two airlines. Feel bad for all the united express guys out there. Does Gojets hire really low time guys? Obviously TSA does to but is Gojets just as low?

 

[regionaltard]

....the gate agent initially gave the jumpseat to the scum, but we took the extra time and effort to fix that and get the wisky guy on board. the sad thing is the bulls did lose that night.

Great story.

 

[NarcolepticAV8R]

Whatever happened to that website that listed all the Go Jet pilots?

But seriously though... it's the middle of summer and there is fishing to be done.

I couldn't tell you, because I don't know.. But I hear they hire guys that would have problems getting hired else where..

Boy. There is some info to take to the bank. You regional guys need a life. You sit on here and bitch and gripe because one airline is "stealing" flying away from another. You need a reality check.

Regional aren't airlines. You are feed for the majors. The majors don't care who feeds them. The only thing they care about is cost. Who is going to do it for less. You can talk all you want about industry standards and lowering the bar. Remember Comair? That industry winning contract? Where are they now. The majors will sign five year contracts and then bid one regional against the other to get the cost down. Ask XJT. The regionals will never be what you're dreaming that they will be.

You are all "lowering the bar" by accepting professional flying jobs for $15-22 an hour. You are all stealing mainline flying by encroaching into aircraft capacity that used to be reserved for the majors. Anyone here flying an E-170 or 190? How about a CRJ 700 or 900. Aircraft with those kind of seat numbers used to fly without the "Express" or "Connection" label on the tail.

If you're sitting in the seat of a 121 and you got there with less than an ATP and some serious amount of PIC time then you need to shut your pie hole about who screwed who and be very grateful that you have a job. Try not to screw it up.

Get you info straight, I don't fly for a regional..!!!

Get'em Einstein!

Ref: Mr. Downwind....


Holy Crap!
-What we have here boys, is a durn tootin rocket scientist! Let's see, we go to the board labeled "regionals" and tell everyone here they suck and whine about what losers we all are!

This guy is way smart---like jeopardy smart! He probably feels pretty cool up there in his whopping Lear, flying Geraldo or Rosie around. Maybe one day he'll get lucky and even get to take OWL GORE somewhere to preach to all the other moonbats.......

I hope this guy gets flamed and flamed and flamed and flamed and we make him cry to mommy!

-You sir-are the New King of all Craptards. You will find that us regional guys may not get the undeniable pleasure of flying the Hanson kids around, or maybe get to fly Barbara Walters to FLL, but we are numerous and we do know how to flame spankoffs like yourself!

-GET SOME!

P.S.-I think all them years of sittin' crooked in that Lear have knocked something loose in that noodle head!

 

[PCL_128]

Wow, you are one ignorant little twit.

You are all "lowering the bar" by accepting professional flying jobs for $15-22 an hour.

No, you and the rest of the guys at the legacies were the ones who "lowered the bar" by allowing outsourcing of all the flying. Don't try to blame the people that picked up the crumbs you threw to them just so they could start their careers.

You are all stealing mainline flying by encroaching into aircraft capacity that used to be reserved for the majors.

Stealing? It's not "stealing" when it was willingly given away. (in big contrast to the TSA/GoJet situation, by the way)

Anyone here flying an E-170 or 190? How about a CRJ 700 or 900. Aircraft with those kind of seat numbers used to fly without the "Express" or "Connection" label on the tail.

That's right...until idiots at the legacies gave up that flying because it was "beneath" them. "Express" and "Connection" flying only exists because you created it.

Hey clown, 500 hour CFI's are going to take any job they're given...they have NO control or influence over the industry or their compensation. They're only thinking as far ahead as their next piece of @ss on Friday night.

Older, wiser regional people who try to raise the bar just end up getting screwed and rolled over by some ornstain with an alter-ego certificate in his hip pocket. Regional pilot groups have WAY less negotiating power because they can be replaced in a few months.

The ONLY way to control the regionals is mainline scope...this is not really rocket science, go home and think about it REAL HARD. Let us know when you figure it out, and maybe keep this in mind when your contract is ammenable.

So even by your standards I don't have to shut my hole - MAN I am glad we got that straight.

 

[A350]

It may not be stealing but it was a give and take and if someone was stupid enough to give it away, there was someone equally stupid enough to take it and then #$#$@ that they can't get a job at a major and the major job isn't what it once was.

Most of the flying in this country is a zero sum game....one flying job is lost at a major, one is gained at the regional level.

I find it funny that most regional pilots stand on the fact that they were just taking a job that was offered yet they whine about the other regional pilots who would walk over their dead grandmother to get into a 50, 70, or 90 seat jet.

This is the ultimate hypocrisy.

Had a gofag come get approved for the jump the other day, the homo then went back up to the gate to say he was approved. During this time period I told the captain that there is no way I want this chugger isn the jump. Homoface came back down to the aircraft to get settled, capt said, "I dont know you but my FO has a problem with you, therefore I feel that this might jepradize the safety of this flight, so you can not jump" ballsuck said "I need to get home to my family, this is the last flight" capt said "sorry bra" end of story... suck it fags.. i win.

On another side note check other threads. Go jet guys have gotten hired at CAL, DAL, JetBlue, etc. So much for the flightinfo world dominating the real world. Good for the go jetters I say.
