And as far as Jim Ream offering to pack stuff, I have never heard that. But anyone who stands up for their company and their employees when their mainline partner wants to whipsaw them is alright in my book. I'd rather see him poke CAL in the eye than bend over for Larry.
I'm guessing you haven't been their that long because your old MEC told it's pilots to politely tell GoJet pilots that they weren't allowed to jumpseat on expressjet. I guess that didn't last too long. That's sad because I thought at least one carrier out their had the guts not to help out the gojets pilots.
Ream did offer to help pack up. It was a few years ago. I'm glad that he is trying to stick it to CAL but he will stick it to you guys too if push comes to shove. Good luck with the future flying, I hope that you can keep those 69 airplanes flying.
