New Chief Pilot
 

I see that GJ is looking for a new chief pilot. What happened to the last 4 or 5?

I suggest that the next chief ask for at least a multi month contract! Right now, before you can unpack your personal box, you are having to reload it.

Dennis, Chris, Randy, Brad, ?, ? its hard to keep up. I don't even bother learning their names anymore.

I would focus on leaving altogether. Spirit, Frontier are really ramping up. Allegiant offers interviews basically over the phone if you live at or near a base you can hold. If you’re a workaholic that doesn’t need money for a few years, you can go straight into a 777 or 747 at Southern/Atlas.

Gojet pilots are blocked by agreements from working at Atlas, Southern, Frontier and Spirit without permission from Gojet management. 5 pilots have gone to those 4 airlines in the past 2 months.

Lmao that’s BS. I’m calling BS on that. Like most every pilot, you get the job then quit the old one. Apart from that, it’s a free country. No company can say you can’t work for another company. That’s not American nor does it seem legal. Lmao

Unless he or she is talking about the flow deals G7 has, then yes. You cannot apply outside of the flow. As far as the other situation goes, Great Lakes did that with F9. Just ask any laker.

The TSH/Frontier flow includes a gentleman's agreement (or maybe its contractual? I dunno) that Frontier will not hire any TSH pilot off the street.

It is written into the agreement. F9 legal determined they cannot hire TSH pilots outside the flow.

Now I’m starting to understand. So you’d have to resign your position first to apply at say, F9. That’s a shady deal. Come on Alpa folks. That’s almost like giving up civil/human rights. Maybe I’m being overboard but I think that is totally effed up.

No, you're not overboard. That's totally effed up.

Great Lakes asked F9 stop hiring their pilots a few years ago. It was a “gentleman’s agreement.” What most of us would call illegal. So F9 can go BK for all I care.
