GoJet to increase fleet size (rumor)
 
I'm hearing rumors of G7 growth being expected to continue - possibly doubling in size.

Keep in mind I have no reliable source. This is purely rumor at this point.

With no reliable source, why even bother? Even reliable sources are unreliable in this capacity.

But anyway, XJT is getting space shuttles. Also, IBTL.

If a girl working the corner cuts her rates in half, she can expect to get pounded twice as much.

I would be surprised if GoJets didn't double or tripple in size. They simply work for less than the other regionals. In the world of subcontracting the lowest price has a massive competitive advantage. Always remember, if your airplane says Express or Connection on the side, you're a subcontractor. GoJets will continue to "steal" flying so long as they maintain costs lower than everybody else. Sadly, there will inevitably be other start-up regionals who one day undercut GoJet, thus continuing the race to the bottom.

I think what you meant to say was as long as your aircraft says Express on the side, you'll continue to be given flying from mainline due to them relaxing their scope clauses in an effort to perpetuate their own greed.

My aircraft says Express on the side, but I'm flying a 37 seat turboprop. Last time I checked, mainline pilots egos don't allow then to fly these regional aircraft. Do I wish every aircraft was flown at mainline? Of course. However, what has happened is understandable from a business standpoint, and the relaxation of scope is the root cause. I scoff at pay to play express carriers "taking" our wholly owned flying, but I also realize if our pilot group had negotiated protections in or contact, we wouldn't be shrinking to oblivion.
