You are so right. What was I thinking. I should have gone to the one that is trying to get a contract and are asking people not to apply so they have some leverage. Or maybe I should go to the one that flys about 80% 50 seat jets. I could have also tried the one that is bankrupt. If that did not work I could also go to the place that furloughs every year.........

Now that is the best news I have read in a long time..

Kinda funny how the worm can turn on you in this business. 6 months ago everybody was flocking to Gojets for the quick upgrade and you were crazy to go to TSA because it was stagnant. Now Gojets is stagnant, and TSA is offering upgrades to people from the January class. As Yogi Berra said, irony can be very ironic......

Then why on earth would you choose GoJet? Are you a glutton for punishment?

That place is only slightly above Great Lakes and about on par with Pinnacle

I think you might have just upset the pinnacle crowd with that one

86% of them knew exactly what they were getting when they said yes.

I feel sorry for the ones who voted no. Not the yes voters.

Even though 86% voted yes, I'm not exactly sure they knew what they were getting into. Most did, the others correct feelings were skewed by union propaganda for the super senior. Depending on how the SSP works out, you will see some very senior captains making 100K a year and enjoying 18 days off a month reduced to FO making a maxed out 37K a year while sitting ready reserve. Only then will they understand what they've done. But then they will just quit.

Most of the 86% just bought the Union propaganda of "Pass this or we're out of jobs" BS.

Some FOs voted yes to buy themselves some time before bailing.

Then there were a few who just saw something wrong with voting in our own pay cut. There's something inherently wrong with that IMHO
