It has affected me! Has it affected you?? Please answer! Can you say "furlough"?

GJ caused your furlough??? I though the TSA MEC made it very clear that NO FURLOUGHS were a result of GJ.

This from the TSA VARS...
D.M. TSA MEC Chairman:

"... As per conversation with Capt. W, the cause of these furloughs are a direct result of a loss of SAT flying being performed for our UAL code share partner. It was made very clear to the MEC that this loss of this flying was not a result of transfers to the Go-Jet operation. TSA mngt concluded that the SAT routes were not profitable enough, and therefore decided not to persue serving these routes, causeing us to park 2 EMB-145s over the next couple of months..."

Also GJ has hired only 6 pilots in the last 2 months. So even if TSA was doing the flying there would still be furloughs as a result of the lose of SAT flying and USAIR J41 flying. GJ has had the same amount of pilots (150) since adding the other 5 a/c back in April. 2 months before TSA furloughed.

So the furloughs happened b/c of fleet reduction at TSA.

GJ flys to SAT from ORD, DEN, and IAD along with SkyWest and Mesa. When in the history of TSA have they ever done that?

No like SAT-MSY is now GO Jet.... That was a former TSA route... SAT was a focus city..,

Be sure to tell United About that. They don't seem to know.
