What are you guys doing to make sure you change the negative, untrue and factually incorrect information about your company?

nothing. there really is nothing that can be done. negotiations are to take place here shortly, but nobody is realistically hopeful. there are many ideas floating around on how to make gojet a better place to work, but a majority of the pilot group wants to avoid anything that has direct contact with labor relations. there is an unspoken fear of getting a 'target on your back', and many aren't willing to take the risk.

What is the game plan to make Gojet a better quality product then it is? Am not saying make it number 1, just superior.

this is beyond my pay grade. collectively, we put out a fairly respectable product (performance).
as far as making it a better place to work ---- as the company and the pilot group continue to grow, it'd be nice to hope for a better pay rate, better contract, and everything that comes along with a somewhat decent contract. as stated before, i'm not holding my breath for that, and it's doubtful that anybody is.

Besides the three people that always post negative comment have you ever talked to a TSA pilot or even say hi to one at the airport about the future of both regionals and how we could work together for the future of the industry.

no. it's taboo. i've spoken with tsa pilots and flight attendants quite a bit, but never about the two companies together. more 'shoot-the-****' type dialogue than anything else. when the conversation starts to refer to one another's company (in my experience), we act as if there's no connection whatsoever. much like i would with pilot from skywest, expressjet, mainline carriers, etc.

I agree Gojet may be a more pleasant place to work, but you it can change anytime. Ask a Comair pilot.

nobody's more aware of this than we are

Anyways, I have to say I am proud some Gojet pilots are now open and at least try to defend the company in public. My babies are growing up
