Let me ask you all this:
Silver Airways used to be a "pay to play" operation. Now, those days are decidedly behind them by what? 4 years? 5 years?
Why is Silver ok to work at and GoJet not when the whole GoJet fiasco happened 10 years ago? GoJet is just another regional now, the same way Silver is just another regional.
The original cadre at GoJet are scumbags for sure don't get me wrong. It is not the same place anymore though.
You people are taking away from my Titanfall time.
So, all of those TWA guys I flew with are scumbags eh? Be sure you verbally state this fact if you ever js on AA. The original cadre were TSA, TWA and Chicago Express pilots. Keep throwing your rocks.
Did I like my time at GoJet? Nope. Hated it. I used it as a stepping stone and it served its purpose.
Take a pill buddy. I was defending gojet.
The initial cadre at gojet were used to whipsaw TSA and to sidestep their contract as well as AAs scope clause. These are rather unscrupulous beginnings. Were there some guys who got a raw deal there? Sure. It doesn't change what the airline was created to do, and what the initial pilots enabled.
Now, that is well in the past and should no longer be a factor.
Good talk.
