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.

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.

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.
