I didn't realize I was a Troll, but hey, I guess now you owe me a toll for the bridge... so that's good supplimentary income for flying...

If I see your Gojet thread I'm most likely going to post on it, I think guys going there should at least hear the situation of it's creation and how a large portion of guys feel about their potential employer. I think that's actually a key part of the GOUGE. I'd hate for a guy to go to Gojet and then after he's working there say... "oh crap these guys are generally disrespected by their peers?" If someone knows what Gojet is and how they are regarded and they choose to go there, there's obviously nothing I can do to stop them. No matter how BAD a decision I might think it is, but I believe people should have all the facts first.

If you saw the thread of the one Falcon FO who crossed Spirit Airlines legally called strike line, to become one of two Strike Line Cross and Breakers (SCAB) You will see he claims to have been completely ignorant of the situation, and yet it will most likely prevent him from ever being hired at a us union air carrier. If someone had made him aware then maybe he wouldn't have crossed. Or maybe he would have, but at least then it would have been 100% by choice.

I believe people need all the information possible to make their career decisions.

I am curious though, your status says MD 11 FO.. what interest do you have in the continued promotion of Gojet? Maybe you wouldn't be so happy about alter ego's if your carrier (Ups? Fedex?) started another airline to pay guys less to fly your cargo......

Now since I'm a troll, where's my money for crossing the bridge?

This thread is off to a great start! HAHA! Trying to get good info from a blow jet thread on an internet board it like trying to lose weight by eating nothing but big macs!

Im so glad you started this thread, it is a place for "trolls" like others and me to gather.

i enjoy reading these threads more than any. lol!

We can't always depend on management to do so, but ultimately it is up to the profession to re-assert professionalism. Keep that in mind when you post.

I bet 5 bucks on this thread being closed within next 2 weeks

How are they trolls? They are giving factual info on the company. Doesn't sound like a troll to me.

2 weeks? How about 2 days! :)

Just a few thoughts;

)SCAB is an acronym for Still Collecting All Benefits-in reference to strike breakers collecting all the same benefits fought for by strikers. They risk nothing and gain everything, (except respect, integrity, etc.)

)"Zapata" and "Airwillie" appear to be former GoJet types who say they're MD11 and MD80 f/o's now, so it would appear working there is not a career killer. ("AirWillie"...new job flying MD80's...FalconAir during the Spirit strike, maybe?)

)Most major guys have no idea who GoJet is or care about life at the regional/out-sourced-contract carriers. Sad, but true!

)Where's the "White Paper" from the TSA guys? We're already on the 2nd page, and nobody's posted it yet?

)It seems GoJet and Colgan have replaced Mesa as everyone's favorite whipping boy. It takes 2 carriers to replace Mesa's anmity...never underestimate J.O.

That's all...I'm betting 1 more page before thread closing!

I'm just trying to give everyone something to chuckle about. Seems like so many are so angry.
