"History
The airline was established in late 2004 by the current owners of Trans States Airlines. The airline was created to undermine the efforts of the Pilots Union at Trans State Airlines. Trans States Holdings was awarded a contract to fly CRJ 700 aircraft for united. The flying should have been flown by Trans States Airline pilots, but the holding company refused to negotiate a fair contract with its workers and started GoJets as an alter ego carrier to bypass the rights of the workers at Trans States Airlines. GoJet was supposed to start on August 4, 2005, but began scheduled passenger services on October 4, 2005 instead. The airline received its initial Air Carrier Operating Certificate in September of 2005. The initial fleet consists of fifteen 66-seat Bombardier CRJ-700 regional jets."
