I was wondering how long did it take for you to hear anything back from Gojets, after you applied..

I emailed my resume Last Friday, hopefully I can hear from them soon

Also, how many more classes are they going to have?
If the sarcasm went over your head, so will all the concepts in ground school.

But the jets are oh so SHINY!!!!!!

Wow, that has probably got to be the worst explanation of the startup of GJ, even the TSA guys can do better. I especially liked how you made management look like they didn't care to pay more, since they do pay more for GJ pilots, and I also liked how you squeezed in the furlough thing which is total BS. And using the S word, real nice. Oh brother... why bother.... After all the countless threads about this deal, you'd think people would get it, especially a Republic pilot off all the regional pilots............................, good luck with your "negotiation's" on not screwing the Midwest guys, I would think that would affect the overall airline industry a lot more than guys fighting for 60 vs 62 dollar pay rates.

No I'd say for the most part he's got it right. Care to enlighten us on the differences in what he described as to what really happened........minus the F-bomb mention and GJ making more money? I'd LOVE to hear this one..........

Well, you see, I can also say Republic pilots are considered an alter ego whipsaw scab pilots who really screwed their brothers and sisters at Midwest over as well as their regional bros and sis for accepting mainline airplanes for 23 dollars per hour. Does that make it all right? That's why this whole GJ deal is just stupid. The big irony is that guys that are being furloughed because of this Republic deal are actually looking for jobs at Gojet.... and I'm sure those guys will be considered by the very pilots that are responsible for them being furloughed as "scum" right???? It's just retarded.

Yeah.....NO. So with that theory RAH, SKW, TSA.....they are all alter ego whipsaw companies? You need to educate yourself a bit on what constitutes an alter ego. You see, unlike GJ, the aforementioned compies were not formed SOLELY to circumvent a company's scope. GJ was. Plain and simple. So your argument, although amusing, is dead wrong. GJ was formed to get around a scope clause. I'll say it again. GJ, the WHOLE ENTIRE COMPANY'S PURPOSE FOR CREATION was to circumvent a scope clause and stab fellow company pilots in the back. Deny it all you want my friend but facts are facts. THAT is whats retarded as you say.

As far as the Midwest whipsaw........well not too many folks were raggin on RAH before about 2 weeks ago. Now all of the sudden its RAH is scum. Well I would agree....to an extent. The deal is scum, salacious and low. We don't like it, period.

This thread is being closed because
1: It was started in boredom with no real substance or truth to the original topic.
2: It is flamebait waiting to happen (and it will happen)
3: It already started and is going to become another 7 page thread on everyones thoughts on gojets.
