Anyone wanting to warn others about TSH and Gojet must have had problems in training right? Why don't you argue the facts and not attack the messenger?
I pointed to real cases that went to court and reached a conclusion, a large judgment against Gojet or TSH. The cases did not involve new hires not making it through training but were all cases where TSH companies violated the law and screwed over employees. There are also many cases where suits were filed and settled. How about Melissa Davis v. Gojet, Eastern District of Missouri? On December 1, 2013, Davis experienced extreme pain on her right side, vomiting, and passed out. She was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with an abnormal heart rhythm. On Dec 2 she had someone call her supervisor to inform them that she was hospitalized for the arrhythmia and would not make her trip on the 3rd. On December 4, 2013, while Davis was still hospitalized, GoJet terminated her employment.
Gojet plead 8 affirmative defences, hoping one might work. "Plaintiff’s action is barred by estoppel in that Plaintiff’s own failure to satisfactorily perform her job requirements and regularly show up for work caused her termination." So being in the hospital is not a reason to miss work. "All of the damages allegedly sustained by Plaintiff could have been avoided by the principles of mitigation." Basically, she could have gone to work at Kentucky Fried Chicken so there are no damages. "There was a legitimate business reason for all actions of Defendant that Plaintiff claims are in violation of the FMLA." I love this one, "BUSINESS REASON" which I see as saying that we at Gojet can violate the law because it is good business to fire someone before we have to pay her medical bills that are covered under our self insured plan.
This is what GoJet has done to its employees, and there is room for more. Lots of airlines are starting classes in May, choose wisely.
Never taken a dime of recruiting money, ever. Just balancing out the perspective since its always the same few people on here with an axe to grind. Every airline has them. Just giving my own perspective based on my personal experience here.
