There are jumpseateres that do not check in, so separate yourself from those people. It takes twenty seconds to check in with the crew and by doing so you may get an upgrade the proper way.
Remember this business is all about networking and you never know who you may meet and how that person may become a contact to help you in the future.
I can promise you that in this situation you'll certainly be remembered...as the douche bag 135 guy that was so offended he threatened calling the CP to report some guys for doing that which is in their scope and authority. Does not sound to me like they crossed any lines or made a scene...they did the right thing, you did not!!
You obviously feel empowered by jumping on the GoJet haters train, but that train has unfortunately already left the station and no one really cares about it any longer. GoJet may have a few sour apples, but for the most part they are a good group. You may try to make them out as scum of the regional world, but all you're really trying to do is make yourself feel better about your own, obviously crappy world and life. Go ahead and keep hating but GoJet'ers are now and will soon be filling more cockpit seats at UAL, AAL, and DAL...and thankfully you'll still be 135 with your bad attitude!!! Or you can let those courses in professionalism pay off, do the right thing, think for yourself, not be a band-wagoner, and find some happiness instead of wasting a crew's time at the gate or a chief pilot's time with your nonsense.

This has been discussed to nauseum on here. If you are non-revving or have a paid for ticket, checking in is not required, and frankly peeves off a busy crew. I don't know how you can say this is mandatory 100% of the time.

I think that's the case with pretty much any regional nowadays, right?

Probably because I didn't ask for it.

Nothing. We are privy to details until the road shows. Rumors include trip/ duty rig, CX pay, etc

Buy low sell high ... I'm pretty sure that's the model for ANYONE who wants to stay in business. Conversely, those who want to bid on said business had better be "competitive" *wink, wink*. As long as supply remains a constant (and imho that is definitely in question as far as mainline feeders are concerned), it's a race to the bottom. We all know that... right?

Is it your own MEC and/or negotiating committee at the table with management or someone from Teamsters?

Was just offered a G7 class date.

Still have a TSA interview, although another G7 contact of mine has suggested they've been known to rescind both offers if you go to one interview with an offer from the other in hand.

Congrats and welcome...should you accept the class date.

Already accepted.

So hypothetically, someone living in STL has offers at G7 and TSA, where should he go?

Oh come on man you can't accept that soon...only a few more regionals to go until you've interviewed at all of them.

I hear you slats, but I'm afraid that "criteria" and "regional" are going away in rapid fashion with a few exceptions. At least GJ HAS an interview... I've been offered a class sight unseen at another regional. Some regionals are simply doing phone interviews.

The most comprehensive interview I've had to date (outside of Beagle Airlines) has been for a lousy 121 cargo job. Go figure.

I've heard that. SKW, is still conducting thorough interviews... Wonder how long that'll last.
