How many times are we going to get the facts wrong.

The airplanes WERE coming to Trans States. The dates had already been set for their deliveries. Period.
When TSA pilots proposed getting paid industry average wages to fly the CRJ700, TSA Management said no, and then created another airline called Gojets.

By going to Gojets you are siding with TSA Management and agreeing that they were correct in creating an alter ego airline to violate the Collective Bargaining Agreement they had with TSA Pilots.

By going to Gojets you believe that TSA Pilots should have never asked for Industry average wages. I mean how dare they do such a thing right?

TSA Pilots just got word, that the pilots at Gojet have told TSA furloughed pilots to go and pound sand with reference to the TSH LOA. You lot are special.

I don't know how you guys sleep at night.
Your facts are wrong. Mgt made an offer and your MEC went in and wrote "Eff you" on the proposal. Literally, that's what he wrote. He sent your group down the river.

can't wait till GoJet announces they are getting A-320's and chumps like you are willing to fly it for $34 an hour. You think you got no respect now?
"hey guys it's uncle H. I've made a deal that we can get 35 A-320's but I can't tell you what the rate is. Probaby industry average prop rates. You want em? Now or never!"
Pause...."oh please please please uncle H. But I will need to business cards to hand out to chicks at the bar. And please go ahead and forward my resume to Fedex now, I hear they like heavy jet time. On second thought don't pay me, I had to rent a Cessna to start my regional career, I may as well pay you guys to fly an airbus to get that time on my resume for my major gig!"
I don't work there anymore.

Where does it state in the rule book I need to stay off this board?? I'm not going to remain quiet while you bash one pilot group for another pilot groups large mistake(s). I used the regional airlines for my PIC time and left. I'm sorry if you haven't tried to improve yourself or just unable to advance your career. Do I regret going to G7, getting my time and leaving? Nope. I make more now as a 2nd year FO with five more days off per month. Oh, for the record everyone I fly with ALWAYS ask where I was before. Their response generally is "Who is that?" or "Oh, is that the Hawaiian operation?" The few that have heard of GoJet couldn't care less. Oh but wait, this will bite my butt later in my career, right? Ok, I'll take that chance and I'll take my 15 years in this business and my 10K hours up against your know-it-all entitlement attitude anytime.

It's a fine thead you weave as older folks leave (many being on hiring committees) and more new blood hits from regionals; things will change. Glad it worked for you. I'm sure the furloughed trans states guys are clapping with cheer.

I'm not afraid of any hiring committee. Is that intended to intimidate?? The TSA pilots had/have every opportunity I have. They choose/chose their direction & I chose mine.

You must not have the read/speak/understand English endorsement or you would not have directed that "bashing a pilot group" at me as you did.....and you're not the only horse in this rodeo with over 10K and 10 years. I bet you think even Chuck Norris is scared of your "high time"

Having one thousand, six hundred and thirty seven posts on airline pilot forums, it's clear that you are in need of some social activity.
Higney has othe hobbies I can vouch for him. When not at the gentlemen's club he likes to collect ponies. And darn fine ponies at that.

When a pilot feels the need to highlight his vast experience on an anonymous forum, generally you can cut that tiime in half or really more to see what said guy actually has. KInda like "how many chiks he's slept with." And judging from your other posts on your APC career you are nowhere close to 10,000.....

My APC "career"? I was flying long before I learned of this web board. Believe what you will. I have nothing to prove to you or MOONEY. What I'm saying is I've been in this business for 15 years. I've learned things. I've used those things to further my career. Please enlighten me (and others) on what previous posts have to do with flight experience? Yes, I have over 10k hours. Most flying single pilot freight, charter, air ambulance among other things. Your point?

You should be careful what you wish for...all those "guys" who don't know about or care about G7 will be gone in 10 years. Guess who is behind them? We ALL know what and how it went down. We will be on the hiring boards, chief pilots etc. Believe me when I say guys don't forget. Had an old TWA guy just the other day tell me that guys at American "were not his colleagues". Just food for thought...
