I don't think that because someone puts in a little time as a CFI, they are automatically owed that jet job. It is making new pilots lazy. Honestly, I hope the market for pilots drops off. If there were fewer folks willing to do this job for nothing, maybe there would be a retirement and good pay. As for now, they'll keep beating the pay and benefits down like they are doing with Go-Jet. Just my thoughts, and I didn't even make you pay for them!
iflyjets4food....Amen Brotha!
Let me add this:
I am pleading to all airline pilots who still believe in solidarity. Please take a few moments to visit
www.GoJetPilots.com for information on the latest trend in the industry.
I implore you, please, do not allow ANY Go Jet Pilot to fly on your aircraft on a jumpseat pass. Remember Captains, it is still your aircraft and you still have the right to refuse a jumpseater.
Please, do not get complacent. The industry has taken its worse turn in history. We are the last hope. Let's give it our best shot and don't go out without a fight.
To the North West Airlines pilots: I wish you the best and I will be in the fight for you in your fight against the alter ego airline that North West is attempting to start.
