How can Trans States pilots kill GoJet?
Is there anything that the pilots over at Trans States can do about GoJets? I see they are in contract negotiations right now.
I know what I am doing about GoJets. I am educating anyone about why it would be a mistake to fly there. I don't allow GoJet pilots on my jumpseat. But what else can we do, or what else can Trans States pilots do?

The only thing that can be done in a situation like this is educate the masses. I'm a bit dissapointed in ALPA for not taking the initiative to send a rep to every college, fbo, and/or flight school of any type, and explain to prospective pilots the effects of working at a scab operation like gojets. The negative impact to the industry as a whole.
In other words, if they can't hire enough people, eventually they might be forced to intergrate the pilot groups, without compromising the TSA contract like Mesa with Freedom a few years back.
My two cents.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very much pro-ALPA, but I do have to admit that in my humble opinion they have dropped the ball on this one. Maybe emails and mail outs like duck said...anything to educate folks on this issue before it turns into a bigger problem.

Unfortunately, the only way to really get rid of them would be to negotiate it with the company. This would require massive concessions, PLUS the integration of the GJ seniority list into TSA. Very, very painful (mesa did this with Freedom A, look where THEY are today)
The fact that GJ is "represented" by teamsters doesn't make this any easier
