I guarantee you'd have a different attitude about PSA if you were still at Eagle (or Envoy). I'm sure you just wouldn't say "oh well" over another pilot group cutting your legs out from under you but whatever. I'm sure it would be all puppies and rainbows and you'd give the PSA guys a big hug every chance you get. Get over yourself and quit patting yourself on the back. NOBODY CARES (to quote you).

What a tool. Nomination for tool of the day......

As for nobody caring, I get asked all the time on DL, UA, and US/AA if I work for Blowjets when I tell them I work for TSA. The response usually is thank god your not one of THOSE guys (meaning Gojet). Same thing for Mesa, Envoy, ExpressJet, Endeavor, PSA, and Air Whisky. I have actually been surprised by how often this comes up, particularly when I jump seat on mainline. They're too nice to tell you to your face what they really think about Go Jet, and trust me if they can find any little thing to deny you a jump seat they will. They'll tell you its because the don't have enough O2, weight balance or whatever.

Do the Human resource weenies at the big jobs care about this? No they do not. But if you believe your peers in the profession have any respect for Gojet then you are delusional.

Now I will go back to ignoring Gojet. Makes life at TSA happier.

At the end of the day, you realize that 95% of pilots are self entitled arrogant people. The only regret I have in my career is not joining GoJet 8 years ago and being based in Chicago rather than St Louis and not having to commute for 6 years. I could have also upgraded one year after joining and stayed a captain for 5 years of my career rather than being downgraded.

At the end of the day, nobody gives a rat's a$$ who you undercut/undermine/lower the bar to. ALPA has proven that point by telling TSA pilots that they would fight to get the CRJ-700's back on TSA property, then turn around and tell United furloughs to go to GoJet.

I went to TSA to try to not belittle and undermine ALPA pilots and over 5 years I lost QOL, 3000 hours of PIC in a CRJ-700 instead of an EMB145 (I couldn't get an interview with Emirates because the 145 wasn't big enough of a jet for their minimums but the 700 was) and somewhere in the ball park of $120,000+ pay (with the conservative assumption of making $40/hr more as a Captain at GoJet instead of an FO at TSA).


But hey, I get to tell a bunch of neckbeards on internet forums that I wasn't a part of GoJet. That has to count for something, right? Especially when my current airline amongst many other Legacy/LCC/ULCC airlines have hired GoJet pilots, and you look like an idiot for holding a gripe with RJ drama.
