As shown in a previous post, because Gojet is an established "second company" the contract is essentially worthless. I'm sure however that TSA pilots will be offered preferential hiring at Gojet, and we might even see a carrot dangled in front of our noses for part of our longevity (i say part, because there's no way the company would offer full longevity).They'd probably do this, with the hopes that it would help them staff their airline, by say giving you half longevity, 5 year = 2.5 years, etc. Straight to the left seat if you've got the time, etc. I'd doubt that you'd see all that many go, The ramp up would have to be somewhat slow to allow for the expansion, and would probably coincide with our shrinking of airframes (past the american ones) And is possible that a Jet for Jobs situation could be used to assist in the further staffing. Heck, if staffed with CQFO's, it'd be possible to staff the airline with furloughees and totally avoid the need for 75 or so riddle grads....And it'd probably still save $$ over having TSA around.
