Oh for God's sake. I guess I'm gonna have to wake up and start typing a response here. Some of the things I have read in this thread are absolutely absurd. I like TSA pilots. I work with them, side by side in Dulles and ORD. I've had the chance to talk to them, and spend time with them, and learn about their history, and I understand their frustrations. We at Mesa have undergone similar problems in our history.

Our alterego airline was shutdown, and those pilots have NOT been forgotten. I only know a few, and one of them I respect enough because he is brutally honest about why he did it, and does not hide it, and is genuinely sorry about it. Everytime I hear a limpturd callsign on the radio, my blood just boils a little bit because that should be a waterski call sign. There are good people at TSA that have been furloughed because of GoJet.

I don't care what these people going to GoJet say. "Oh, well I am furloughed and it's the only place that's hiring." Waah, Waah, Waah. Cry me a river. So what you are saying is that you are better than another pilot, and are willing to put him on the street and support a bad cause because you are selfish? That's the way I look at it. I appreciate and understand furloughed guys (especially the major guys - although they know the game better than a lot of regional guys, and should KNOW BETTER). I know they need to get a job and get some income - but why go to GoJet when you are knowingly putting some other guys OUT of work. It's like you are stepping all over them to get a small paycheck. You'd be better off getting a local job, and you'd probably feel a lot better at the end of the day!

In this day and age, we have to support each other, and respect each other. I can't do that for GoJet pilots though, as to me, they have forgotten about the rest of their brothers and sisters at other carriers. Those people at TSA deserve some support, and they are good people. They have mine - and always will.



This is to Pause: I just can't believe you are on here trying to justify this. Most good GoJet guys just slink around and don't say anything because they KNOW they have no right. You are just acting arrogant and selfish, and are the poster boy for GoJet pilots. This is the way we feel GJ pilots are. As far as telling you face to face what I think - you bet your butt I do. I've had 3 GJ pilots try to ride with me, I've told 2 of them to take a hike, and explained why (and I'm the F/O, the captain just piped up and said "Yeah that!") and I was nice enough to let the third come with me as he was deathly ill, and I do have a heart sometimes. Although he was in the last row and was in the lav every 10 minutes - I actually felt bad for him, sort of.
