Here's an update regranding GoJets issued by the US Airways MEC:

__________________________________________
MEC code-a-phone correction

Yesterday's MEC Code-a-Phone included an item on available pilot positions at GoJets. It is necessary to inform you that GoJets is an “alter ego” airline created by Trans States Airlines Holdings, which also operates Trans States Airlines (a US Airways affiliate and Jets for Jobs carrier). GoJets was created to avoid union representation, with the intention of denying the ALPA pilots at Trans States the right to fly the 70-seat aircraft at GoJets , and to dodge compliance with the terms and conditions of the collective bargaining agreement between the Trans States pilots and their management. The Trans States pilots are still battling their management to obtain the GoJets flying under their ALPA CBA. In addition to establishing an alter ego carrier, Trans States management has also engaged in a disturbing and reprehensible pattern of contract noncompliance and led a personal campaign against union representatives, wrongfully terminating two pilots and a flight attendant.

We apologize to the Trans States pilots for any harm that was caused by erroneously announcing the availability of pilot jobs at GoJets. We strongly support the Trans States pilots and understand the threat that GoJets represents to their careers. All pilots should know that the US Airways MEC does not condone accepting employment at GoJets.
