There is no way anything is going to change with the gojet/Trans States deal. It is done, finalized, finished, etc...

It is disgusting what management did to those guys who fly the line to make the owner, Uncle Hoolas, rich. What it is even more disgusting are the people in management who were at one time pilots and allow this sht happen. Did I forget the people that took the jobs at gojet knowing this was going on? But last I heard, Trans States wasn't having any problems getting anyone to show up for interviews. Which means to me that there are still plenty of people who can't wait to fly jets, no matter how much they make or how many of their peers despise them.

they are indeed having trouble getting people to interviews. They have went through every single resume on file. Now they are holding job fairs to find "qualified applicants".

The fact that GJ is "represented" by teamsters doesn't make this any easier

coming from a sky west 'scab' like you ....this means nothing....keep taking planes from an ALPA carrier and call someone else a scab.....your pathetic....

Haven't we already discussed the proper usage of "scab" to death on these forums? I'm a new member and I know I've seen it a dozen times.

there is ZERO proper usage of the word scab on the regional forums.......everyone who thinks they are being undercut crys about it....but rejoyces when its them that get the flying.....
I was only using is to highlight the hipocracy or a non union carrier growing at huge rates while their union sister carrier takes the hits.....plain and simple there is no difference.....reguardless when or where the companies were formed.....

Be that as it may, I suggest you post in the future in a more respectful manner. Throwing the word scab around is like throwing the F word around. That, along with the personal insult, puts your post over the line of what's accepted at this site.

Actually, there are a lot of new guys that finish IOE, get 100 hours and go somewhere else. Some don't even wait to get 100 hours.

I remember that when I started that every CA told me to leave asap. But, I was stupid and didn't realize things were as bad as they were until I got scared of being furloughed and left. I live in St. Louis and not wanting to commute was my justification. I feel bad for the guys who stay after the 100 hours because they are going to be abused.

So you are guys are having trouble getting people? That surprises me. Seems like they always have enough just to get by.
