And I never said it would be a right thing to do. I have alot of respect for fellow TSA pilots and just hope things could be worked out between HK and their pilotgroup with another contract or an extension of ther current one. I just don't want it to involve GoJet in any way. I am not against TSA getting a good contract, what I am against is a merger between the two.
Ofcourse TSA pilots wouldn't mind a merger, why would they?
It's the GoJet pilots that would be screwed this time.
I'm not one for ill will, but your previous comments would make me glad to see you standing on a street corner.
The logistics to allow gojet to fly TSA's 145's would be insane, and possibly outside of TSH's capabilities. All the new training, new company manuals, test runs, etc would be a true hassle. Getting CRJ200's for Gojet would make more sense, but operating costs would be higher, margins slimmer, and the ability to make money on them that much more difficult, It could also put Hulie in a financial pickle, and I'd doubt he'd be up for that just to prove a point.
Merged lists will give more job security for both companies, not just trans states. And a seat lock would keep the blood from getting to violent. Same time, why should some street captain, who ran to Gojet for his quick turbine PIC be held higher than a Waterskier who was working his butt off in the mud for years longer?
Enjoy your tenure Xelectro.
