I only meant that there are former GJ pilots at places like UPS, Delta and CAL...so at least three have escaped purgatory.

 

Technically they are not scabs, because a scab, by definition has to cross a picket line.

They are just as bad though, because in today's political climate no airline would be allowed to strike, therefore there are no picket lines to cross...but if there were, the gojetters would be lined up at the door!

 

Boilerup is right - a pilot from Gojets probably will get hired at most if not all majors at some point for many reasons. Some airlines don't use pilots in their interview process. Many major airline pilots don't pay attention to regional issues and don't have a clue about this. Some people have amazing connections.

But as more of the current regional folks move up to the majors, it becomes a much bigger risk. Rather than one bullet in the game of Russian roulette, there are two, and it will keep growing until 5 of the 6 chambers are loaded. I doubt anyone who was a regional pilot while Gojets is/was an issue will forget what happened. For example, look at the Eastern/CAL situation - nearly 20 years have passed and people still talk about it. I know all about it and I was 14! Last month I met gentleman in his 70s who had retired from American, and I though he was having a heart attack when someone mentioned Eastern scabs because he turned this lovely shade of reddish purple.

If you only want to think short term, I'll repeat my first comment: Commuting will be hell because more often then not you'll either get denied the jumpseat or will be 'educated' while you are in the jumpseat. And being in the terminals won't be a picnic either I am sure.

 

GoJet pilots should be beaten like dead horses.

 

BoilerUP,
I'm not busting on ya. I am just letting anyone contemplating the move of the best info available Only the best to you!

 

If you do don't gate check your carry-on... Someone might sh*t in your flight bag!

 

I'll give it to the lav service vendor. He probably has all kinds of interesting ideas to try out on it.

Someone said earlier that some (more than one?) went to CAL. I'll keep an eye out It must have been hard for him/her to conceal that fact during training. What a shame. That alone is reason enough to go to a different regional.

Oh yeah and if some (or one) went to CAL, that means that they would've already been employed by a regional, TSA maybe?, and then crossed over laterally to GoJet for a DEC position. That's really scumbag material!!

 

Why are you not on a hiring board where you work now? Then you can NOT hire all these Scabs? Get in there!

Cheers

 

When would going to alter eGO-JETS ever be acceptable. Is it like ten year thing when all of the people that did jump will be expunged from there, or will it forever have the black eye persona?

 

If - and I don't think this would ever happen - Trans States Holdings turned GoJet into a Freedom-type situation, the B-listers would be okay by me. The originals, though? Never.
