No Stigma, eh? Sorry, but if you are introducing yourself as United Express asking for the jumpseat and are embarrassed to say you work for GoJet, there is something wrong.

If there is no stigma then why is the union not agreeing with the loa for half longevity for Tsa pilots?

Well guess what that might have been one guy but I ALWAYS say who I work for. There is no embarrassment at all at GoJet. Unless maybe they didn't hire you?

What is your plan to shut down the entire regional industry and turn the flying over? We can't even say to people keep away from a single company. And define mainline equipment....some airports/pax loads require something smaller than 73s. Actually not intended to be flame-bait but I feel I will be anyways.

Why do you think Mesaba didn't sign a j/s agreement with GJ, or GJ didn't get an agreement with Pinnacle til last year? Your J/S chairman was trying very hard to get an agreement with us, over and over til we agreed to it. Pinnacle didn't delay it this long for no reason.

By mainline pilots yes.. that whole 'mainline equipment' is just residual SJS.

AirCanada flies 170s and gets paid accordingly.

Can somebody tell me how many passengers did the B727-100, DC-9/20-30, and B737-100/200 carried?. And also weren't those the A/Cs that the mainline folks where flying to the same spot he's refering to?. The only difference now it's a slight more competition, and higher margins for the companies due to lower cost now in comparison to then and not much of a price difference. Get rid of a few regionals, load still remains the same, and see what the majors do. And tell those airports that require something smaller than 73s to kick SWA out of their property. They shouldn't be there.

The Pinnacle j/s committee has changed ALOT over the last year, guys have gone on long LOA and moved to other carriers. They were also very difficult to contact in a timely manner, not complaining, just saying, this coming from another carriers jumpseat chair.

You mean it took years for that? uhhh no. E.D. who was our j/s chairman would not agree to it. J.H. took over not that long ago finally agreed to it which took a couple of phone calls. I had a sim session with E.D. before he took a LOA, and asked him why he wouldn't sign with GJ, but he didn't want to get into it. You can draw you own conclutions as to why he wouldn't sign an agreement with GJ when we have an agreement with just about everyone out there.

Having a jumpseat war is the most ludicrous thing you can do. Cutting off your nose to spite your face. OOOH we won't let you on our jumpseat.....but wait that means we can't ride on yours?? GROW UP CHILDREN!!!
