I flew with a pilot not long ago who was badmouthing GoJet and telling me how it’s a ‘career killer’ and , lo and behold, we had a GoJet pilot, a UAL furlough, jump-seating up front on our last leg of the day, and my colleague actually had the gall to ask him for a reference for his UAL application. YES, he asked the GoJet guy for a reference.
Irony?
Hypocrisy?
I bet my career on this fact: each one of the GoJet haters would stand in line to get a reference from a GoJet pilot whose ‘UAL credentials’ would help her/him get interview/job with UAL.
In all fairness, the UAL furloughs you speak of had a job handed to them by G7 straight into the left seat. It's much different than a guy prepping to interview and swallow that disgusting contract as an FO.
