GoJet circumvented Trans States Airlines collective bargaining agreement. Any pilot who goes to work for GoJet is simply saying, "Yes, we know, that's okay with us. It's okay to cheat other pilots out of what is rightfully theirs." And don't give me any of that, "Well, the court said otherwise" crap. Damn what the court said.

No Mod can disagree with this fact.

 

Resentments kill...

Carl, when did you get hired at TSA?

 

Fair answer. .....I do hope all you Comair and Pinnacle guys land on your feet.

 

What are some opinions on having GoJet on your resume? What is the current jump seating situation? Any plans of expansion in Denver?

 

Are you really laughing that the interview is personality based? If you're a 9E guy, that interview was can you fog a mirror, so I wouldn't laugh too hard.

Circumvented the CBA in the same way Pinnacle Corp bought Colgan and operated Colgan separately as a non-union entity. Stop the presses, unlike the 9E pilots, Hulas gave the TSA pilots a chance to fly the 70 seaters at a certain wage rate. TSA's MEC thought it was too low and wanted more, but they had no leverage. In this industry you negotiate and fight with leverage, without it you have nothing to fight with.

And yeah, the court said Colgan had to be a single operation for us back then, which would have led to an SLI with Colgan, but then the judge went back on his word.

And what do you mean "damn what the court said." You'd make a perfect USAPA pilot.

 

GoJets is on the reciprocate list of almost all other legacy/major/regionals, so you will not have any issue. Anyone with a small male size organ decides to give you hard time and denies you, thank them, but make sure you note their name, airline, flight number, and date, and then go through your jumpseat coordinator to get to the bottom of it. I guarantee you that pilot will be getting a call from one of his jumpseat committee members asking more about the situation. Jumpseat wars against GoJets are mostly online forum tough talk, you shouldn't have any issue on the line in real life.

As for GoJets on your resume, no one in airline HR cares about regional pilot squabbles! For that matter, most major airline pilots don't keep up to date with that stuff either. All that matters is the flight time and quality on your resume. GoJet pilots have left to move onto legacies and majors. I know one who went to Fedex and a couple at VX too, Spirit, and JetBlue.

 

GoJet guy?

Good on him, whoever he works for.

 

Yup. Former OH guy as well.

 

no surprise here.

gojet pilots are a good group.

 

The boys in the Majors want to know what squadron you flew in. 90% of the guys have no idea what regional turd you got shot out from nor do they care.
Like someone posted earlier, HR could care less about regional squabbles. Most pilot's doing the interviews are mngt. pilot's anyways.
