I'm sorry, but Hulas is probably on the way out of the regional airline industry. Can you blame him?
I don't think that was the point that I was responding to, or possibly I did miss it. I understand that making the 700s 50 seaters exempts counting them against scope. But we are in the "GoJet Recruitment" thread and I think it is important for people evaluating where to go to consider the fact that 2 of Hulas' 3 airlines are going out of business right now. Gojet is having trouble getting pilots with an 80k bonus. When are they going to do what they did with TSA and tell United that they can't do the flying, "its your problem"? When is United going to realize the risk they face doing business with an airline that fires people when they get cancer or may actually need to use the health care they have been paying for? Bad publicity could cost them millions and the small amount of savings they get dealing with Gojet may not be worth it. Choose a reputable airline.
