I don't think his working for gojet is going to prolong his furlough, and I also do not think mainline will be taking that flying back as long as they can move it to a regional carrier for less money, which is the current epidemic everywhere...I have seen my flying a CMR moved to every conceivable regional...

737s only carry 66 people now? Last I checked, the CRJ-700 and the "Guppy" or the "Guppy killer" have very different seating capacities. The "Guppy Killer" is the 190/95 which are both 100+. The 175 only caries 76 seats (looks similar but has half the capacity of the 737) and the 170 only caries 66 seats (all of those numbers are including first class seats).

They also fail to mention that the TSA MEC should have captured the flying at GoJet prior to pounding their chests about pay for the -700.

On a closing note, didn't ALPA National make a recommendation for ALPA members to consider GoJet if they needed a job?

Out of curiosity, does ALPA recommend to all ALPA carriers (i.e. Majors) to not hire Gojet pilots. Maybe it wouldn't be seen as a stepping stone if there were little places to go afterword. From the past, the majors hired everyone no matter where they came from...so why wouldn't someone want to go someplace like Gojets if there was no negative to it?

#3 if so I think it was for the furloughed TSA pilots not the flying community at large. I could be wrong about that but the object was to make them whole later.
