The talk about TSA pilots never losing jobs as a result of GoJets is incorrect. The reason they are "hiring like crazy!!!" right now is cuz they furloughed 60 pilots and by the middle of that month another 36 had quit on their own. When they called said furloughs back...6 went. Out of 60. So yea, they're hiring like crazy over there...

Some TSA furloughees were told it was due to United decreasing the amount of flying they would be doing. When getting furloughed, one thoughtful pilot said "Really? And those routes you just mentioned aren't going to GoJets, right?" "Nope...United is dropping them completely. This is NOT a result of GoJets." TSA pilot then goes home, looks up flight along said route and surprise surprise...it's a GoJet route.

So how do you solve the GoJet question? No amount of jumpseat denials is going to make pilots stop working for them. It's just going to prevent some guy from getting home to his family...that wouldn't make me rethink my career decision, it would make me think that Captain is d!ck. I don't really have any respect for GoJets at all...but one thing I read on here with a certain amount of consistency is that anytime two pilot groups fight each other, they both lose.
