Delta's contract with Gojet exists as leverage against other carriers to drive down rates and pilot wages. Which is why the sooner Gojet implodes, the better for the profession.

That it was already imploding? Every time I have a deadhead on them it's delayed. Last I saw their performance was terrible. Not sure why Delta is awarding that?

The trolls are out I see. It's alright bra I know you won't sleep tonight knowing we just got more airplanes but it's ok your CQFO's and that program can cuddle you. I don't get you people seriously. You guys have nothing better to do than talk about crap that happened when you were probably still in middle school. You just got milked and babied by these old crusty captains and never really educated yourself on the true story. But I'll save that for another day. Evidently this "stain" is liked by the majors cause we have a much higher attraction rate to the majors than you guys. Just sayin! Anyways bra try to keep that thing you call an airplane in the sky. I'm cancelled in Montreal (yes with no cancellation pay) and I can't waste my bandwidth on you anymore

$$$$$$ Gojet is vastly cheaper than any other Delta carrier and Delta wants to use them to force everyone down to Gojet rates....

Because they are the cheapest.... Endeavor can't staff them, SkyWest and ExpressJet are too expensive, and Delta and Mesa had a bad breakup a few years past. So by default, blowJet gets the jets.

I was working in the industry in 2005 when the Blowjet guys turned their badges inside out so no one would know who they work for. Trust me people know who you are and are too nice to tell you what they really think to your face, brah. You have a high attraction rate because every Comair and Pinnacle guy you hired found out what Gojet is really like and got the hell out. Enjoy your time with no cancellation in Montreal brah, I'm sitting at home and getting paid because I have cancellation pay. But Delta loves you because you undercut everybody else in DL connection and they all just love you for it. Sorry it sucks but when the rug gets pulled out from under you and Gojet impodes it will be the best thing for your profession. Sorry if the truth sucks brah....

You guys act like us as pilots are the problem. We all know we're here for the same reason. Get our time and get out. I knew coming here about all the bad publicity and negativity but I came anyways. Mainly cause it was last minute and was practically dragged here by a few buddies. I flew corporate for almost 3 years then one day found myself out of a job so I just went to the quickest place I could get hired. Our contract does suck and it needs alot of work but I'm thankful to have a job and I just try to ignore all the bs and go to work and do my job safely and go home.

Ummm...why don't you do your research. We were discussing Trans States and how it is run, not TSA Holdings......
