far behind mesa, slightly behind freedom.

glad you guys finally signed a halfway decent contract so management can't use the whipsaw between the two pilot groups. Had a guy say "Well, we all know who won the fight between gojet and transstates" the truth is, management is the ONLY one that won. TSA now had someone else to fight to get improvements from a selfish management team, and GoJet was forced to live with substandard work rules and the same management.

I just hope the finally fixed that little wording that said you could only be on for six days in a row, after which you'd have to be released for 24 hrs without duty...haha, what idiot forgot to say you needed to be released IN DOMICILE! On the road indefinitely, that'd suck.

I agree. I can't refute that there is a lot of anti-GoJet messages on this board. None the less, the information that is out there about the Trans States/GoJet debacle is not very accurate. A century and a half ago many people in this country believed that African Americans were of a lesser form of humanity than the Caucasians. Just because a lot of people mouth off about it, doesn't mean it’s true.

He states about having to put up with all us that don't agree with the company. You have the option to take that out of the equation so why not do so?

There are literally thousands of pilots and read these boards. APC, FI, PPrune etc. In all of them they despise alter-ego creations and those that work for them. The company screwed a lot of pilots. To work there is to support them. It means you're willing to stab yourself in the back or walk over anyone you can to get to where you are. At RAH the best thing we have isn't our union. It isn't the best. It's our pilot group. They are united in their standings and that will be what makes things better. The GoJet crowd is a group of people, in general, who would cross a picket and undercut the industry. If you're worried about making $20k as a first officer you can thank companies like GoJets.

Not to mention I had to DH on a plane of theirs and a husband and wife were flying together. Do you REALLY want to work at a place that thinks that is a good idea?

oh, and to the OP, while GoJet isn't going to hurt your chances of getting on at a major airline, i don't know why you'd really volunteer to be ostracized by your co-workers in the industry just to get a CRJ7 spot...back when i was hired @ TSA, i had already made the decision that if they did the "switch-a-roo" on the training class, i was walking right back to my CFI job, it'd have sucked...but would be better than the alternative.

On, and on the Chicago domicile, i'm sure that'll be fun, given that the rampers are putting the "No Alter eGOJET" stickers on the tugs for you, have fun pulling those off @ all the outstations and getting in fist fights with those hardcore union boys who are pushing you back from the gates in chi-town.

I'm gonna have to stop you right there....that is by far the most idiotic analogy I've ever seen...

How dare you compare the suffering of millions of people that were forced into slavery, with that of scabs that backstabbed their brothers for a shot at flying a bigger jet for 50 seater pay?

I'm usually pretty nice to folks on here, but sir you are an idiot for making such statements, and you just reinforced the type of selfish personality that gojets looks for.

Try the 60's/70's but lets stay on topic. Worst analogy ever and you shouldn't have to have one as to why you took that job when all else are hiring. Last I heard Chicago has more than one airline flying in and out of there.

I'm sorry for not making my post clear enough but you have taken it far out of context. I am not comparing me or any other GoJet pilot to slaves. If we suffered to the same degree then I certainly would not work here. However, I did compare the outrageously ignorant group of Americans who denied equal rights to African Americans to the outrageously ignorant group of pilots who have no evidence to support the claims that they make concerning GoJet.

This is the very reason that I don't make many posts on this or any forum. People don't understand how to read prose objectively and they end up taking the posts far out of context. Why do you think there is so much bickering on this forum? It’s not just about the GoJet issue. It’s about anything and everything that anybody says.
