Thanks OP! I just got an infraction as well! I thought my definition of cba was more pertinent to your decision than the real definition! Oh well

Personally I wouldn't goto either one. Good guys at trans state but their management is a piece of work. Upgrade will be fast almost everywhere pretty soon. One year upgrade at GoJet is tempting but is it worth it? Your choice.

Slats, you can still comment tho can't you? (Honest question...)

Just skip the name calling part and I'm sure the OP will benefit from your contribution...

As far as GoJet, there is no cancellation pay, no min day/duty rig, you can bid through all domiciles every month if you want, no locks really, but I don't think there's any extra cash (per diem) that goes with base change, etc. Fast upgrade if you got the time, overall bad CBA in my opinion. They are in contract negotiations tho, so things may improve eventually. Reserves are 10 days off minimum, lineholders are 11.

As far as TSA, their new aircraft deliveries are their biggest "asset" in regards of moving up the seniority list fairly quick. Not too familiar with their contract...

If you wanna be based in STL (:shudder:) or IAD head to TSA but please, for the love of God, don't commute to reserve.

Crap damn near killed me. No thanks Jeff.

Couldnt agree more, do not commute on rsv!!! Single or married, doesnt matter. Dont commute on reserve.

ok...
 

Wow...that escalated quickly....

Ok. I do appreciate most of the information....

I have done many, many searches here and have found many of the posts (most) filled with partial information, generic bit@h session or from people pretending to be current employees, but aren't...that type of thing.

I have read the cba's, but have worked in the past for companies that assign stuff clearly against the CBA and say 'do it and grieve it'....so the printed word means much less than it should....

My crystal ball is just as broke as y'alls....so, I was really trying to balance quick (or possible street) upgrade vs. deliveries vs. viability and survivability of the sub service they both provide vs. relative seniority of each....etc.....

I have been offered interview at TSA but passed at the time....have heard that I should be getting interview soon with GoJ....so, I am just trying to figure out if I want to pursue one, both or none....

I really do appreciate the sincere replies....and enjoy reading the insincere ones....

Thanks.

Exactly. I would say if you are high time (5,000 hrs +) and live in a GoJet base it might be worth it. Otherwise, from what I hear and read, it isn't.

I understand that once you contact Trans State or GoJet the other won't look at you. Gentleman's agreement not to poach each other's candidates.
Anyone else hear this ?

(Guys Highfive GoJet'ers)

Maybe Vagabond won't give me another infraction now that I've clarified my abbreviation.

True story

Actually, once you associate yourself with gojet, no one will look at you at all.
